peace museum

bronzeville, il | 20,000sf | exhibition space

The museum bases itself on the processionary. It manifests through the ambitions of a singular ramp that links all the exhibits together in a desired order; the ramp becoming a storytelling device.  Thresholds along the ramp become like cinematic frames, presenting images to move past, through time.  The architecture pulsates along this journey, where floating planes constantly open and close the space as visitors shift by.  The facade gives index to the inspired movements on the interior, culminating at the front doors where glass volumes emphatically push past the end wall.
