Bauhaus Museum, Weimar

This is the proposal for the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar.

Design team: Domenico Cannistraci, Angelo Grasso, Eliana Mangione, Matteo Morlacchetti

Type: International Calls for Ideas

Location: Weimar

The visit at the new Bauhaus Museum starts with a walk in the woods where the building is immersed in.Starting from the lesson of the Bauhaus, the Museum is thought as a big workshop, where all the educational and entertaining functions are connected in a continuous space. The building is conceived like a circular compact volume in order to reduce energy supply.The entrance of the museum is located on the south side of its core, and after a walk under the large overhang, the visitors enter the foyer. From the foyer you can accede directly to most of the public functions of the museum. Via a big ramp, that climbs the core, you reach the first floor, where the exhibition main space is to be found. The exhibition path is a spiral which develops itself around the building’s core; meanwhile at the first floor, the viewable depots are located along a path that goes across the circular plan. The core, made out of concrete, is the thermal mass element which provides "inertia" against temperature fluctuations and, at the same time, hosting the stairs creates a chimney for ventilation. On the top floor of the building you find both the offices and the Café that has a terrace looking over the woods.The Café is conceived like a green house, meanwhile the office’s roof is covered by photovoltaic energy supply panels.
