FLOATING PAVILION

The floating Pavilion is located on the River in front of the Museum Ingres.

It shall be used as a temporary Pavilion for Music.

Only one Person a time can go in the Pavilion and listen to the song. Because of that the Idea was to create a Entrance which filtres the visitors. That means The Entrance itself is already an adventure. The way to the actual music-room prepares the visitors for the coming piece of music. Our main room shall be a round and warm room with no edges, so the visitors feel comportable and can concentrate on the music.

Because of those reasons we decided to create some kind of bubbles which float on a wooden land. At the Entrance there are two smaller Bubbles. The exit is one small Bubble that prepares the visitor to go back outside.

We wanted our Pavilion to look very light, as it is a floating Pavilion. So we choose a Material that is a bit transparent. The main structure is made out of steel. To add a warm material we chose wood as our floating platform. This Platform is big enough to invite people to come and rest at the Platform, even if they don't entre the Pavilion. We created another public space.

The ceiling of the Pavilion is like a Dome. It is a steel structure which is covered in black fabric.

Extension of the museum Ingres

The theatre stairs

The axis of the city gives the museum its form. to orientate the museum to the river, the front part is extended and with a shift in direction. That way also a bigger entrance is possible. The two levels are connected through the stairs. at the end of the stairs a park is created, the existing street is removed. That way a new, high quality public space is created.

The spiral stairs are made out of one material - all white steel so it is a fluently sculpture as the heart of the museum.

The skylight is covered with copper sheet. This way the brick color from the existing museum ingres is repeated in the new museum extension. The big skylight attracts attention and is a eye-catcer.

The perforated facade is only in the higher level where the exhibition room is located. That way the special function behind the facade is also visible from the outside.
