MUS Architects: Structure of Emotions
One of the top 10 winning proposals for the design competition of the International Museum of Flamenco.
Designer: MUS Architects
Location: Jerez de la Frontera, Spain
Year: 2011
Concept: International Museum of Flamenco
Movements and gestures of dancers are full of expression and tension. Dancers bring the fascinated viewer into an internal world of experience and emotion through the swinging movement of their body, decorative arrangement of their fingers and smooth vibration of the ornamental frills. Rhythmic and dynamic music transmits the spectator into a world of incredible aesthetic feelings awakening all senses and inflaming the imagination…
Concept of “Flamenco” is also applied to the overall mass of the building:High in areas and low in others, forming a curve that responds to musical waves.
Architectural Drawings
What’s good about the building
Use of light/shade as a part of the design
Rough material with natural color for canopy: sculpture
Building is integrated with the surrounding: separation between interior and exterior is only glass. Upper plaza is accessed by ramps located outside.
Unique structure to achieve the swirling affect
Might have a complicated exterior, but the overall mass is a simple modified extruded form.
Arguments
The folded layers were designed to resemble the swirling train of the Flamenco skirt.
Some people see it differently.
