Dustyrelief / B_mu

Bangkok, Thalande 2002 Architect ; R&Sie(n) Design of an Contemporary art Museum Scenario : - Random relief calculated by particles and pixelisation for a pure grey ectoplasm under the lightning grey sky of Bangkok - Collecting the dust (particles of carbon monoxide) of the city (Breeding the dust of Duchamp...) by an aluminium envelop and electrostatics system. - Exacerbating the skyzo climate between interior (white cube and labyrinth in an Euclidian geometry) and exterior (dust relief on topologic geometry), and using this sun protection monolith interface for in/outdoor exhibition.

Dustyrelief / B_mu
Bangkok, Thalande 2002 Architect ; R&Sie(n)
There is a large percentage of space that is enveloped by the skin of the B_mu Museum that could be utilized for display/ storage as well as within the skin itself. The logical kind of artwork that could be housed in these space is work already designed to withstand the elements. Because there would be a concentration of pollution in these space the patrons would be required to wear gas masks or respirators furthering the concept of the skin exponentially. This concept places the patrons in direct contact with the critical aspect of the building in regards to it's context and thus furthering the discourse of pollution and the city of Bangkok.

As with the B_mu Museum in the city of Bangkok there is a large percentage of space that is enveloped by the shell of "Cloud Gate." There is also an incredible structural system at work that allows for this 110 ton sculpture to stand. By allowing this skin to be inhabitable patrons of Millennium Park and Cloud Gate enthusiasts can appreciate the sculpture from many perspectives, not just the exterior. By entering below and then having the cut out past the tangent of a ground level viewer, the main concept of the sculpture remains intact of blurring the boundary between the work and its context. This is also emphasized with the view up out of the cut out that only allows viewers to see the sky. This goes along with Kipoor's notion of a multidimensional gate the work explores. The amount of steel that is removed will be offset by potential weight of occupants and additional circulation needed to occupy the interior safely.
