guggenheim research

one of the reasons for changing my idea from an office to a museum was actually because i was watching a film called 'The International', which has a long scene with the Guggenheim in it. I instantly thought that a museum would be a great idea for the globe to be renovated into.

It was quite easy to gain inspiration from this building, not just because it's an amazing architectual building, but because it too has a curved design similar to the globe.

these are both shots from the film that i print screened. what I like about the building is that the design makes use of large open spaces, which really gives the impression of a larger room.










Like the design museum, the white concrete really makes this building stand out. The spiral like design also has a unique look that you dont see on many buildings.

Another aspect of the building's design that i like is that rather than stairs, it has a massive spiralling ramp, which i think is an amazing design and works well with the open space.
