Afghanistan New National Museum

Cavour, Afghanistan

Program：Museum

Site Area：16,000㎡

Total Floor Area：44,000㎡

The proposition of the New National Museum of Afghanistan is to give autonomy to the tangible and intangible context of this country through architecture. In other words, it aims to expand anddevelop according to changes in Afghanistan, while texturing past and present events, as well as passing through ancient conservation and historical relics.

It is an ancient relic before history, coexisting with the past, the future, and the surrounding landscape of prehistoric times. These four elements define its existence, intertwined with each other and bring out the essence to express Afghanistan as a whole and become a new cultural base. The museum is planned in a part of the entire site covered with high walls around for security.

The strong architectural form was required to withstand attacks from outside the fence. A box-shaped exhibition room is interspersed with the entire structure closed to the outside. Travelling around the various scattered exhibition rooms, each level changes with the ring that penetrates the interior. Each space is open to the courtyard waterfront of the ring and communicates with the exterior. The ring is made up of a gradation pattern of a size that reproduces the Afghan motif, respecting history. People move around the exhibition space with a glimpse of the waterside in the open courtyard.
