ARCHITECTURE OF THE GUGGENHEIM
MUSEUM OF BILBAO |
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao was designed by architect Frank Gehry
to serve as an architecturall landmark recognizable worldwide. Its
audacious, sculptural lines have inspired many to praise it as a forerunner
of 21st-century architecture. Strikingly located on a riverfront industrial
lot, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao rises alongside the colossal La
Salve Bridge. which crosses the Nervion and brings a major Row of
traffic into the city. Thus, the museum forms an integral part of
Bilbao's urban structure and lies in the center of an imaginary triangle
formed by the Fine Arts Museum, the University of Deusto. and the
Arriaga Theater.
The building comprises a number of interconnected volumes: some are
sandstone orthogonal shapes that offer a solid foundation. while other
titanium-clad sections curve and Row in glimmering light. These volumes
combine with glass walls, which lend an air of transparency to the
entire building. The museum's three levels of exhibition space are
organized around a central atrium and are connected by a system of
winding bridges, glassed-in elevators, and lofty staircases. The atrium
is the true heart of the museum and one of the most acclaimed features
of Gehry's design. An impressive" metallic Rower" skylight
filters daylight into the warm. welcoming space below, which offers
visitors a relaxing environment for reRection on and preparation for
their encounter with Modem and contemporary art. |
