Designed by, RMC (Raafat Miller Consulting) Architects & Engineers, their proposal for the National Museum of Afghanistan aims to best represent the heritage and the people of the country through a practical, innovative and enduring physical plan. This building would provide a clear and simple organization for the visitor to follow a natural progress through the site. They accomplish this by using a spatial concept where the visitor of the museum is led through a sequence of visual and physical experiences to draw them to the next encounter. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The horizontal site is developed by combining the axes between the site entry and parking area, the new and existing museum, and the visual site line to the national Institute for Archeology where by creating a strong visual connection between the different building and site amenities. The vertical site is developed to reflect the beautiful naturally occurring topography of Afghanistan.
