NBK Museum

The NBK museum, a 20m high ceiling ground floor pavilion, pivots a long subterranean 45m deep space. A curvaceous spiraling stair hinges the long and the tall spaces of the museum in one seamless experience, starting from the oculus atop. The entry “sun-dial” hall is shaped by the sun rays tracing its oculus’ rim on the different surfaces, with markers noting precision in craftsmanship and timelessness within a supposed time capsule.

The museum is part of the new headquarters designed by Architect Norman Foster. Its tethered facade above has its structural remnants below ground, with an echoing series of columns splitting the space visually in two. Pairing this pattern with the available exhibit display, the journey within the museum is curated along and across, balancing between material displays and audio-visual presentations. The ceiling’s geometry and the floor’s pattern recreate the guidelines underlying the tower’s to become one with it, without compromising the experience and associated materiality along.
