QUANTUM, A PRODUCT DESIGN MUSEUM

QUANTUM
Project description:
In short - it's Museum. An Exhibition Center designed to host the forefront in Product Design as well as all important and iconic works created over the years. That was the original task description of a contest that gave the first directions of the project.
The whole project was a big challenge. As interesting is an exhibition, namely the building is one that attracts and by its shape you can guess what can be expected inside.

Quantum is a 3-floor building with two asymmetric corpora and tunnels which connect both parts. The structure will be made of steel and concrete. External shell - fractal pattern aluminum alloy or other light material with polymer structure. Using the new technology it could be even 3D printed. Glass panels on both sides.

The style is probably Organic-Eclectic, i say 'probably' because it is my interpretation. The shape can be geometrically described as a combination of overlapping spheres, displaced relatively one to another, forming two asymmetrical corpora with different internal areas and balconies. The connection between them is accomplished by 5 corridors in the form of mini-deformed protuberances. Spiritually it can have many descriptions but the primary idea was to represent the connection and at the same time the difference between past and future in the product design. Creating this building was a great opportunity to unleash your imagination in unusual direction.

Vasil Velchev		Vasil Velchev “My name is Vasil Velchev from Bulgaria I was graduated as a master of Electrical Engineering I have more than 10 years of experience as a Graphic Designer in an international company. At the beginning product design was more like a hobby, but after some worldwide publications and awards i started to believe more in my ideas. Several years ago i started a project called MAGMA which have the purpose to collect all of my creations under one roof. The name was chosen on purpose. It tries to describe my feeling about the original idea that stays at the beginning of every project, to wit: it have to be always in 'liquid' form, to be transformed constantly in order to see every form it could take, to be kept alive till the idea became a solid product.” My profile at LinkedIn> WEB SITE> PORTFOLIO URL>
