Moritzburg Contemporary Art Museum Extension, Halle, Germany. NIETO SOBEIANO ARQUITECTOS.
The design of Nieto Sobejano based on a simple yet elegant architectural idea: West and north wing of the castle are by one of skylights plastic molded, with aluminum covered roof together, which stands out as an irregular folded platform and lowers it but on the crown flat wall recedes. "Stand on the historical styles and forms from the different epochs in the Moritzburg added modernity, marked by the modern roof landscape, which moved to the language of the existing historic gabled roofs and gables and respond to signs of the new museum is. West and north wing of the Moritzburg be left in their entire extent than large spatial forms within the old buildings. The upper floors of exhibition spaces are as white boxes suspended from the roof and reached by a gallery along the Außermauern. Fill the floor levels are not full, so that there are next to them two-story Areas of overwhelming dimensions. The west wing of the castle are the Außermauern left untreated stone and keep as a historical building envelope alive the memory of the former West Ruin. With this design creates an exciting interplay of small and large, modern and historic rooms. The architectural resources of modernity remain independent and occur with the historic building into an exciting dialogue. From the galleries open up stunning views of the city, the old hall with its five towers and on Halle-Neustadt with his blocks.
The entrance to the museum is located in the northwestern corner of the courtyard. It is designed as a prefixed structure in the architectural language of the roof and covered with aluminum. Even at first glance, it stands out as you enter the courtyard as the main entrance from the many side entrances of the castle. On the ground floor of the north wing contains the lobby with box office and dressing room, a museum shop and the museum cafe with outdoor seating in the courtyard, the staircase with a lift. In the vault of the basement toilets and lockers are located. The design idea of the box returns in the cash room again, which can be separated as a segment, and in the sanitary area, which is set as a cube in the vault room of the basement. All new components have been trained in the same abstract language of form. Outside they are covered with aluminum and separated by a gap from the stock, sold inside their panel with white plasterboard walls or cement fiber board of the historic building envelope.
The architects Nieto Sobejano have presented their project in a fascinating dialogue between the existing castle and the new architecture, reminiscent of the Expressionist painting and the formal world Lyonel Feininger also includes the historic building stock as he meets with respect. West and north wing, which once housed the state rooms and living rooms of the Magdeburg archbishops are in their draft drawn back into a unit together and have something original of their monumental effect recovered. It is thus possible, the place and its varied artistic history to translate into the present. The new components of the Moritzburg stand for the renewal of the museum and symbolize its integration into the 21 Century.
