Finalist, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art International Design Competition
Renzo Piano Building Workshop, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art International Design Competition'da finale kaldı.
Renzo Piano Building Workshop, the project aims to balance past and present through sensitive interventions to the north and south of the museum, making art accessible to all and transforming the museum into an inviting public space open to urban life.
The team is supported by West 8 (Landscape Architecture) and Arup (Sustainability, Structural/MEP/Lighting Engineering).
Our proposal for the expansion of the Nelson-Atkins Museum seeks to reconcile past and present, forging a museum for all.
The original Beaux-Arts building, with its classical symmetry and civic grandeur, now stands in quiet dialogue with Steven Holl’s luminous addition to the east.
Our design tries to restore equilibrium – balancing the old with the new – through a pair of precise interventions to the north and south.
The sweeping, monumental stairs, long a symbol of art’s inaccessibility, are transformed.
In their place, an open threshold welcomes visitors of every background, dissolving the notion of art as a privilege reserved for the few.
A transparent pavilion – light-filled and porous – erodes the boundary between institution and community, allowing the museum to breathe with the life of the city.
Here, architecture becomes an act of invitation, transforming the Nelson-Atkins into a truly civic and accessible space, placed gently within the life of the city.
