New Museum of Razavi shrine

The Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, or simply the Razavi Shrine, is located in the center of Mashhad in northeastern Iran and consists of multiple interconnected mosques, museums, seminaries, a library and cemetery, all using central courtyard typology.

The Himalayas Museum

The Himalayas Museum was designed to be situated within the existing Himalayas Centre designed by Arata Isozaki. As a “found” space — a raw unfinished concrete interior with soaring 15m ceilings — it had a particular power and resonance with the field of contemporary art. Thus it was decided that, rather than obscuring this construction, three “rocks” housing the museum’s tripartite program of contemporary art, classical art, and education, could be situated within the existing structure, thereby creating a tension between new and old, inside and outside, raw and refined.​ Caption The centre of the space was reserved for large scale installations. The “lecture” rock, facing this sp... More

MUSNAF | Natural History Museum

The new layout of the Museum of Natura l History and Academy of Sciences, hosted in the former "della Rosa" monastery of the Camaldolese Order in Siena, is the result of an operation with attention to the pre-existent, without ignoring the interpretation of new requirements deriving from the functional and systemic upgrades, expressed in a contemporary, restrained and wel l-ca librated language. The inclusion of the compound in the museum system of Siena since 1996 made it necessary to reorganise and modernise the exposition space by augmenting the cultural, educational and expositional aspects of the museum as a whole. Developed and implemented by a series of successive functional lots beginning in 2000, the design was initially directed b... More

New Buddenbrookhaus museum, Lübeck

The Buddenbrookhaus was the real home of the Mann family. In the novel, it also represents the literary reflection of the residence of the Buddenbrook family.The complex overlapping of fiction and reality must be made tangible in the rehabilitation and new construction of the museum which thus becomes a place of life and narrative history.The “Beletage” of the novel becomes a scenographic object of fiction and stimulation of the imagination. A literary café occupies the “Diele” of the ground floor and becomes a public space conducive to events, meetings and exchange views. Under a pointed roof, the research library creates an inspiring place for discussion.The characteristic Lubeck urban tissue composed of a v... More

REGAN Vest - The Danish Cold War Museum

Located deep in Rold Forest in Northern Jutland, the new Danish Cold War Museum has been designed to convey the story of one of Denmark’s best kept secrets – the Cold War bunker REGAN Vest that was secretly built in the 1960s during the Cold War to house the government and monarch in case of a nuclear war. For more than four decades the underground bunker was kept a state secret. However, now the Historical Museum of Northern Jutland will open the bunker, so the public will be able to experience the Cold War from a new perspective. In that connection, AART will design the visitor and exhibition building – with the 5,500 square metre nuclear-proof bunker as the ultimate focal point. Black boxes On the surface, the visitor...
