Research Background This research is in the field of Environmental Museum Design. According to Manolo Borja an average of 60% of contemporary museums budget goes into controlling its interiors, to maintain secure and acclimatised environments. R. Urculo claims that current museum climatic standards usually associated to the conservation of the works of art need to be challenge to optimize the adaptation of museum to their natural environments. Is is possible to design a museum by designing only its interior climate? Research Contribution Exhibition spaces’ interior climate is barely discussed and maintains an aura of objectivity that other conventions of art display have lost. The 1970’s criticism of the white box skipped temperature and humidity. To include these two variables in the curatorial decisions will transform the way the public experiences museums and theoretically open up new paths for art production. Research Significance The completion was one of the most important Architectural events of 2015. Reviewed and publicized locally and internationally, news of our entry appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, in the New York Times, in the specialized press and in tv and digital media. |

This research sits in the fields of museum architecture, climatic comfort and curatorial studies. Since the late 1970s, the levels of 70 degrees Fahrenheit (±2) and 50% (±5) relative humidity have been held as rigid specifications in the museum field. Defined for conservation purposes and tied to insurance value, these conditions have a notable role in the way art is perceived yet they have been rarely questioned by institutional critique. The research question that this project addresses is: Can we transform the museum experience incorporating the phsychrometric chart in the curatorial toolbox? The project 47 Rooms proposes a strategic shift for the Guggenheim's identity: it focuses on interior climate rather than external appearance. It contains nine rooms of 20x20m, twenty-seven of 6.5x6.5m, six of 10x10m, two of 120x4m and one of 32x120m, and three outdoor rooms. A multiplicity of chambers and climatic conditions will allow various museums to live together in the same building. The project is a machine to provide singular and ever-changing experiences by opening and closing doors to different climates. Each room's final climatic conditions includes a certain degree of negotiation between the institution and its visitors. 47 Rooms wass one of the 6 finalist entries for the Guggenheim Helsinki Competition, the largest competition in architecture's history. It has been widely published and discussed and was part of the exhibition Guggenheim Helsinki Now at Kunsthalle Helsinki (25 April - 16 May, 2015). |
