November 2014 to December 2014
5th prize
"Located within the Volta district, the new building for the Natural History Museum of Basel and the State Archives of Basel-Stadt is a new urban landmark and represents the opportunity to convert a cultural building into a meeting place.
Three clear geometric structures identify the new building in the neighborhood and allow it to naturally integrate into its immediate urban environment: a longitudinal element exploits the maximum permitted height of 18m, redefi ning the limits of the path, creating a small public space in front of the museum; a vertical structure, with a total height of 40m, is perceived as a new monument within the city; and a wide entrance hall renews Vogesenplatz, the existing square in front of the building. International competition."
