Beschreibung:
The master project will focus on designing a new building for the German Port Museum along with the development of an urban concept for its surrounding area, which is intended to become a museum campus on the Elbe Peninsula between the Hansa- and Moldauhafen.
With its planned opening in 2029, the German Port Museum is dedicated to the historical, current and future significance of the interface between port, water and city, whereby in addition to the new building design, its location also offers potential for the development of a wide range of insightful contents and subject areas.
BACKGROUND
Since 2015, the Budget Committee of the German Bundestag and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg has made more than 185 million euros available for the establishment of a German Port Museum. With the use of this funding towards the retrieval and renovation of the four-master Peking, a first step towards the museum concept has already been realized.
Both, the new museum design along with the development of the museum campus around the historic Shed 52, that is already in use as a museum, are part of the overall planning for the post-industrial transformation of the Kleiner Grasbrook district. Located on the southern bank of the Norderelbe, directly opposite of the HafenCity, the plans for the newly emerging district of Grasbrook are based on a design by Herzog & de Meuron and Vogt landscape architects, which envisions a publicly accessible German Port Museum as the central cultural place of this new quarter. Based on these existing plans for the entire area, an architectural competition for the German Port Museum will take place in the near future.
PROCEEDING
The master project will identify potential content, exhibits and strategies in collaboration with the operator of the current Port Museum Hamburg. Accordingly, the course will observe the existing exhibition in Shed 52, as well as visit present comparative concepts, such as the Port Museum in Bremen and, if managable, the Het Scheepvaart Museum in Amsterdam.
As a result, the knowledge gained will be used towards conceptualizing and designing the new museum building, as an integral addition to the development of a new master plan for the museum campus.
FIELD TRIP
During the first week of November, we might take weekend long trip to Amsterdam, in order to visit the Het Scheepvaart Museum as well as investigate Amsterdam’s urban interfaces between culture, city and water.
