The work presented results from the quest for several
architectural solutions. It is not simply a catalogue of projects;
following analysis of a given context, our diagnosis takes the form of several possible
responses. This diagnosis clearly identifies the elements to be
protected, and those to be created; the former constitute the system’s common core;
the latter reveal the Museum’s future eveolution and metamorphoses. These variations on a single theme form the basis of our architectural responses.
