Tamayo Museum by Rojkind Arquitectos and BIG in Mexico City
Danish architects BIG, together with Michel Rojkind Arquitectos, have won the competition for the New Tamayo Museum which is to be build right outside of Mexico City.
The cross-shaped museum will occupy a hillside above the city and incorporate a large viewing platform on the roof.
This is a very direct, strong and symbolic project, where the shape works effectively for both internal spaces and external. The cantilevered form enhances the best views above the interior art spaces, while shading the more social type spaces below. Exterior and interior spaces overlap to provide the best environment possible for each function, and optimal climatic performance.

[...] Los volúmenes que sobresalen se resuelven con grandes cerchas metálicas, como bien se puede apreciar en la foto de la maqueta, donde además se observa la transparencia de la celosía que cubre toda la fachada. Visto en CubeMe. [...]

This is a fantastic project.
Rojkind and BIG together are like T.N.T. !!.
The cross-shaped design, the big terrace with it’s great views and the amazing external cover of the entire museum are great.
And by the way, the Images are amazing too, any idea who made them??
