One Building for the Museums of the 20th Century
The State Gallery for the Art of the Twentieth Century is to be built on the site of the former Türkenkaserne directly adjacent to the Alte Pinakothek, originally built by Leo von Klenze and restored by Hans Döllgast. The brief required the accommodation of different collections with respectively different spatial requirements (State Gallery of the Twentieth Century, Graphic Collection, changing exhibitions, architecture, design). The competition entry therefore proposes a building that consists of a number of volumes forming a conglomerate. Each building is thought of as a museum on its own, with its separate entrance and its own character. A ramified interior is to open out onto the park and the surrounding buildings. The individual museum buildings are to be made of bricks that are then to be clad in a glass envelope. This envelope is to be built up in a number of layers; the envelope would fulfill the thermal, optical and acoustic requirements and would be supplemented by liquid-crystal monitor surfaces, communicating images and letters.
