Disalignment
The connection between the building elements and the human interaction is found within the fluidity of the roof. As the roof changes shape it creates new spaces, some more intimate than others that the user can interact with.
SURFACE
The new roof proposed by Jean Nouvel acts as the plane for this project, as it creates new spaces through different methods. Without this roof the seperate elements would feel isolated and lack connectivity with the existing hospital building.
PLANES
The statue situated in the internal courtyard space boasts the exhibition space of the museum and is used as the centre piece for the project - all circulation routes pass through this space. All public activites tend to take place around this statue.
OBJECT
The focal point within Reina Sofia Museum is the open plan gallery spaces that provides a connection between the existing structures, new enclosed spaces and cultural elements. This element of the building is the heart of the project and connects all the spaces.
The circulation, gallery spaces and courtyards are all enclosed by the new roof, which acts as an umbrella over these spaces. To counteract this, roof lights have been located above these spaces to flood the areas below with the correct amount of daylight specific to the functions held within.
OPENINGS LIGHT
These sculptural glass towers, that are now known to be a defining element of the Museum are also key circulation routes throughout the existing building. These have now become important focal point for the projects as well as their function.
