    Muzeiko, located in Bulgarias capital city of Sofia , is the first
    childrens museum to be built in post-Soviet Eastern Europe. Representing
    the culmination of Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnerships
    decades of experience with museum and exhibition design, it is also the
    culmination of the firm's collaboration with its client, the America for
    Bulgaria Foundation
    DESGIN CONCEPT :

    THE MUSEUMS ARCHITECTURAL THEME , LITTLE MOUNTAINSIS AN


    ALLUSION TO BULGARIA S MOUNTAINIOUS TOPOGRAPGHY. THE
    STRUCTURES GLASS VOLUME IS BROKEN BY THREE SCULPUTRAL FORMS ,
    OR MOUNTAINS, EACH REFERENCING THROUGH ITS COLOUR SCHEME AND
    TEXTURE INDIGENOUS CRAFT TRADITIONS IN THE COUNTRY. ONE FORM
    FEATURES ABSRACTED PATTERNS INSPIRED BY TEXTILES AND EMBROIDORY,
    ANOTHER BY GLAZED CERAMICS, AND THE THIRD BY TRADITIONAL WOOD
    CARVINGS.
    ORGANISED CONCEPTUALLY AS A JOURNEY MOVING THROUGH TIME AND
    SPACE , VISITORS CAN EXPLORE THREE LEVELS OF EXHIBITS IN 35000 SQ FT
    FACILITY . ON THE LOWEST LEVEL CHILDREN EXPLORE THE PAST WITH
    EXHIBITS BASED ON ARCHAEOLOGY, GEOLOGY,AND PALEONTOLOGY,.IN THE
    GROUND FLOOR IS THE PRESENT REPRESENTED BY HANDS ON DISPLAYS
    ABOUT THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND CONTEMPORARY CITIES. THE
    TOP FLOOR IS DEDICATED TO THE FUTURE WITH INTERACTIVE
    EXHIBITIONS FEATURING CUTTING TECHNOLOGIESAND SPACE TRAVEL.
    MATERIALS USED :
    GLASS , STEEL ,CONCRETE , WOOD, GLAZED CERAMICS.

    CONCEPT DIAGRAM
    THE MUSEUM UTILISES LARGE AREAS OF GLASS TO REVEAL THE
    INTERIOR AND LEAVE AN IMPRESSION OF OPENNESS AND
    TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE ACTIVITY CONTAINED WITHIN
    CONTRAST TO MOST BULGARIAN MUSEUMS THAT APPEAR
    IMPOSING AND MONUMENTAL.
    INTERACTIVITY OF THE MUSEUM ALSO INFUSES THE SITE WHICH
    INCLUDES A SCIENCE PLAY GROUND, A GREEN ROOF AND ROOF
    TOP CLIMBING WALL , A RAIN GARDEN, OUTDOOR ACTIVITY
    SPACE AND AN AMPHITHEATRE .
    THE BUILDING IS CERTIFIED LEED GOLD, ONLY THE SECOND
    SUCH BUILDING IN SOFIA. WHILE LEED IS TYPICALLY AN
    AMERICAN SUSTAINABILITY RATING PROGRAM, THE CLIENT,
    FUNDED IN LARGE PART BY THE AMERICA FOR BULGARIA
    FOUNDATION, SAW THE LEED RATING AS DESIRABLE FOR THIS
    PROJECT.

    THE PROJECT INCORPORATES GEOTHERMAL HEATING/COOLING,


    A SOLAR ARRAY ON THE ROOF FOR SUPPLEMENTING
    ELECTRICAL AND HOT WATER NEEDS, TRIPLE GLAZED CURTAIN
    WALLS WITH INTEGRAL FRIT TO MITIGATE UV AND SOLAR GAIN,
    PERMEABLE SITE PAVING, A CISTERN FOR RETAINING GRAY
    WATER FOR TOILETS AND SITE IRRIGATION, A PLANTED ROOF,
    AND SITE AMENITIES SUCH AS LOCAL DROUGHT-RESISTANT
    PLANTINGS, ELECTRICAL VEHICLE RECHARGING STATIONS AND
    BICYCLE RACKS.
    A HIGH LEVEL OF QUALITY WAS DESIRED IN ORDER TO
    HAVE LARGE EXPOSED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL
    COLUMNS AND EXPOSED CONCRETE WALLS BOTH
    WITHIN THE BUILDING AND AS PART OF THE SITE
    DESIGN. THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR WORKED
    CLOSELY WITH THE ARCHITECT-OF-RECORD TO
    PROVIDE CONCRETE FINISH LEVELS THAT EXCEED
    TYPICAL INDUSTRY STANDARD IN BULGARIA.

    WHILE THE DESIGN INTENT WAS TEMPERED BY


    OVERALL PROJECT COSTS, THE PROJECT WAS ABLE TO
    REMAIN ON BUDGET BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE
    CLIENT, ARCHITECT-OF-RECORD AND CONSTRUCTION
    MANAGER TO UTILIZE LOCAL SUPPLIERS AND
    SELECTING ALTERNATE SOURCES FOR BUILDING
    SYSTEMS, MATERIALS AND FINISHES, AS NEEDED TO
    MAINTAIN BUDGET PARAMETERS.
    VERY LARGE GLASS PANELS WERE REQUIRED FOR THE
    FAADE AND THE SIZE WAS A CHALLENGE FOR
    BULGARIAN SUPPLIERS. THE FINAL PRODUCT WAS
    SOURCED FROM GERMANY AND ASSEMBLED IN
    BULGARIA BY A LOCAL CURTAIN WALL ENGINEER AND
    MANUFACTURER.
