Museum in a Site

A new museum has to be created within an archeological site in the middle of a hill overlooking the city of Jeongok. The site presents a strong topography with a big difference of level between the main road of access to the site and the excavation pits up in the hill. A basalt cliff is also present in the core of the hill and it is asked to incorporate it within the museum route as another part of the exhibition area.

The design concept is based on the potential of the new building working as a new gate for the entire prehistoric site solving the difference of the height levels within the site and on the potential of the basalt precipice that becomes the major element to display.
