Ambivalent Bounds
Propinquity means physical proximity, a kinship between people, or a similarity in nature between things. The notion of Propinquity, the initial prompt of the project, ties into the exploration of interiority, program heterogeneity, and material effect. Situated at a dense and rigid site condition, this building negotiates with the constraints of the site boundary to be able to dissolve within its urban context, stimulating an intimate connection. Through the permeable envelope, the unique city context is treated as patches and weaved into internal space; the collections will be recognized as part of the facades. Ultimately, the museum creates a reciprocal dialogue among people, city and culture.
