THE NEW KUNSTHAL

The museum is situated in the Museumpark in Rotterdam. The assignment was to redesign the Kunsthal by OMA (1992). The new building consists of two exposition halls for temporary exhibitions, a restaurant and an auditorium. 

CONCEPT

The building is integrated in the Museumpark and in the routing of it.

The building consists of three main volumes, each with a different function. According to the function of the volume, the façade ranges from more closed to more open. The three volumes together create an organic form with a main public entrance, where there is no distinction between the front and backside of the building. The building is accessible from all sides.
