 Kuwait National Museum

On a square site, the museum comprises four buildings, rectangular in plan and irregular in their massing. They are set around a central garden and linked to each other through bridged galleries. One of the four blocks contains all administrative functions, offices, and an auditorium. The permanent exhibits are displayed in other three blocks on two levels. Access between these levels is via a layout of ramps, a composition of double height space which connects the exhibition floors to create possibilities of extensive and multiple views over the large, exposed objects. The roofs of these buildings are formed by profiled concrete sections. An aluminium space frame covers the inner garden and part of the buildings to create a micro-climate.
