    The former Zeche Zollverein coal mine in Essen, Germany was commissioned by OMA to be transformed into a cultural center. OMA developed a masterplan to convert the 100 hectare industrial site into public spaces featuring the Ruhr Museum, Red Dot Design Museum, and School of Management and Design. The Ruhr Museum project transformed a coal washery building spanning 12,000 square meters into exhibition space by maintaining the industrial machines and flowing visitors from top to bottom like the original coal processing.

    The former coal mine Zeche Zollverein in Essen, an area of 100


    hectares, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in
    2001.

    OMA was commissioned to develop a masterplan, The plan was


    to encourage the revival of the area through a new program, a
    combination of business, education and information, art and
    design, which, along with an improvement and expansion of
    public space, would become a cultural center of reference.

    Today Zollverein has developed and changed from being a


    private and industrial place to being a public space, with 1.5
    million visitors a year, Among its facilities you can find the Ruhr
    Museum, the Red Dot Design Museum and the School of
    Management and Design.

    Strategy

    ➔ The project insert a new program while respecting as


    much as possible the essence of the historical building.
    ➔ People would access to the inside through a giant 60
    metres outdoor escalator going up to 24 meters, the
    movement from top to bottom has been kept, similar to
    the flow of the original factory production, sorting the
    coal from the top of the building to the bottom
    Strategy

    (Storage, Workshops)

    ➔ Complementing the visitor centre, the regional museum continues in the floors below from top to bottom, from the present to the
    historic.
    ➔ The lower levels, where coal was stored before, are reserved for exhibits and storage of the Ruhr Museum.
    ➔ Transform the existing industrial process logic into a spatial narrative.

    Another more obviously formless supplement is the light installation by Jonathan Speirs and Mark Major, which at night simulates the
    former heat glow of the defunct coking plant furnaces. Simultaneously, the lighting isolates the coking plant from its context，calling
    attention to the old building and nudging the visitor to perceive it as culturally significant.

    The fantastic stairs create the feeling of experiencing time travel.

    The public stairway was designed in the old elevator place. So in the
    middle of the stairway, you can see the unused elevator shaft.

    Conclusion

    This project is a transformation from a coal washery to a museum and visitor centre
    without removing the existing machines that dominate the building. The result is
    an industrial monument that combines modern use with historic context and a
    focal point of activity in constant motion with over a million and a half visitors each
    year.
