An exterior precedent of a travertine-clad museum featuring a sawtooth roof profile and carved public loggias, designed by David Chipperfield Architects.
- What we like about this project

- Geometry
- An orthogonal multi-story mass featuring a stepped sawtooth roofline and large carved loggia openings cutting through the monolithic volume.
- Facade system
- Travertine panel cladding with deeply recessed punched windows and open-air loggias.
- Structural guess
- Steel and concrete frame with stone cladding
- Spatial scale
- Monumental cultural scale, balanced at the ground level by generous public steps and pedestrian pathways.
- Lighting
- Soft, overcast daylight casting gentle, diffused shadows across the travertine surfaces and urban landscape.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, civic dignity grounded in rich natural stone materiality and open public interface.
- Environmental context
- Located in a dense urban plaza surrounded by contemporary high-rise towers and mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across a public open plaza, the building reveals deep multi-story loggias that connect interior gallery spaces outward to the city.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stone coursing paired with vertical alignments of carved loggia openings and a rhythmic sawtooth roof profile.
