Microtopography

A diagram relayng, through differential media, the design process undertaken for a competition project by Mark Dorrian and Adrian Hawker of Metis, assisted by Aikaterini Antonopoulou and Richard Collins. It conveys the complexity and multiplicity of the thinking-through-material-things in which the project is enmeshed. The competition called for the design of a commercial space to act as a connector between two adjacent museums in Jyväskylä, Finland - the Alvaar Aalto Museum and the Central Museum of Finland. The proposal takes the form of an interior landscape that negotiates the zone between the offset floor levels of the two museums.
