an art foundation dedicated to Donald Judd in downtown madrid.
circulation interaction
a circulation-driven scheme that separates the quiet exhibition spaces from the workshops and studios.
the site in downtown madrid is part of a rich urban fabric, the corners of the massing parcel are carved away to protect site lines and maintain existing connections. the massing has a sloped exterior walkway that pulls visitors down and into the museum, and launches them up into either of the two pathways.

inspired by the tension in the works of Donald Judd, slots are carved into the building maintaining a visual connection across the slots, to connect those in the studios working to the art pieces being exhibited. the monolithic appearance during the day is achieved through a mesh facade, with windows behind that illuminate the circulation pathways at nighttime.
