    The conceptual approach to the design

    intervention is to create a museum in flux.


    This means that the museum experience is
    constantly changing. This concept can be
    applied in the functioning of the museum
    with changing exhibitions.
    A contemporary museum experience
    opposes the idea of a museum being built
    and portraying the same message for a
    hundred years to come. A contemporary
    museum should be constantly
    changing; growing or shrinking according
    to the needs of the visitors or the types of
    exhibitions on display. A contemporary
    museum should make the cross-reference
    between exhibited objects and the
    building that functions as a ‘living museum’
    possible.
    The designed museum spaces should be
    able to accommodate changing
    exhibitions as designed by curators. The
    intervention should make provision for
    alteration and variations.

    7.6. Design Informants


    In the design concept, the term ‘flux’ is
    understood to mean ‘continuous change’.
    The aim is to design museum spaces that
    provide experiences that are continuously
    changing. The following aspects have
    been identified as the main informants of
    the design:
    7.6.1. Reaction to the Atrium Building
    Interior architecture is influenced by the
    architecture of the building in which it is
    positioned and the urban context of the
    building. The design of a museum in an
    existing building in the inner city is a project
    that compels the interior architect to
    become familiar with the urban scale and
    fabric of the city in order to decide on a
    conceptual approach for the final design.
    The design will activate the central atrium
    space of the Standard Bank Centre. The
    shape of the intervention represents a
    living organic structure that contrasts with
    the rigid modular structure of the building.
    The design reacts to the site by contrasting
    the rigid shape and static character of the
    building.
    The existing entrances and movement
    patterns will be preserved and enhanced
    with the design intervention. Circulation is
    an important aspect of the building and
    this will be used to strengthen the design.
    Authenticity is an important concept of
    critical regionalism. By promoting
    participation of the users of the
    building and city, the museum provides
    and authentic experience. The use of
    local materials and craftsmanship is an
    important aspect of the design.
    The museum should be able to grow and
    change to transform the atrium into a
    ‘living’ public space.
