SUPER PUSH MUSEUM

Paolo Venturella & Cosimo Scotucci propose a glacial glazed museum
The museum takes shape by the deformation of the classic courtyard typology, according to functions and context.

The courtyard building, that works as a path for visiting the exhibition, is taken into consideration as a starting point and then deformed pushing one side on the other.
The deformation literally goes beyond its limits and alters a simple typology into a more complex one. In this way the park enters in the project making the courtyard a public space open to the city.

Moreover it cantilevers on the street side creating a covered area for the entrance and making the building appearing as if it were "welcoming" visitors that are coming to visit the museum.

The volumes that step up and down are an urban promenade that host rooms where the main artworks are shown and drive people to the upper terrace facing the park.
Form follow exterior function while interior functions follow form.

“Paolo Venturella Architecture” is an architecture firm based in Rome that mainly focus its research on the integration between the design processes and renewable energies. It is involved different aspects of the city at different scale and works considering architecture as a solution to past, present and future questions. The main points focus on contextualization, public space, sun exposure and sustainable renewable energies. The process of design is always based on the selection of a strong idea, innovative and rational and in finding the most appropriate shape that express itself explaining its own functions. Architecture can’t be functional nor expressive but the combination of both. For this reason the resulting shape is not a starting point but the logical outcome of reasoning. Investigation moves towards creating an architecture that communicates itself establishing a dialogue with the city and that creates a unique new entity to create a connection with the everyday life of the people.		©Paolo Venturella Architecture
