Located in a very rich part of Tripoli where street cafes are full, public gardens are lavish, and pedestrian pathways are bursting with everyday life, it is the perfect setting to tell a piece of Libya’s history. Therefore, the design strategy of Consolidated Consultants/Jafar Tukan Architects consists of embracing this rich surrounding for this history museum. More images and architects’ description after the break.
By letting two main pathways continue through our site, we are sure to anchor the building with its surroundings. Not only do these two pathways define the building’s geometry, but they also offer a unique opportunity to engrave the names of those who fought for Libya in the streets of their capital forever. This space becomes the first museum gallery. A semi-pubic program is also envisioned at this level; a café and a souvenir’s shop receive the exhibition visitors as well as other clientele.
