Estudio MMX "consciously synthesizes" Mayan and contemporary architecture for Yucatán museum
멕시코 유카탄 뮤지엄은 고대 마야문명의 흔적으로 찾아간다. 그들의 찬란한 문명 한가운데, 재해석한 건축을 간결하며 정리된 언어로 표현한다. 무엇보다 장중한 무게감이 시공간을 무색하게 만든다.
Mexican architecture firm Estudio MMX has unveiled the Progreso Museum of Geology, which is made of multiple structures clad in a finish called chukum that dates back to the Mayans.
Mexico City-based Estudio MMX created the museum based on a gridded pattern for the beach-side site in Progreso – a town near Mérida that sits on a slip of land on the coast of the Yucatán Penisula in Mexico.
"The design of the volumes and their arrangement in the public space generate paths accompanied by light, shadow and vegetation that give the square a new character rich in experiences that evoke ideas of Mayan architecture along with the colonial heritage of the urban layout," said Estudio MMX.
"The museum consciously synthesizes local Mayan knowledge with contemporary architectural approaches, thus generating a new identifiable and appropriable public space for the people of Progreso."
