Anfeh museum

Idea projektu

The idea of the project is :THE CITY BENEATH THE TIDES THE CONCEPT IS TO USE THE CONCEPT OF THE TIDES THAT IS KNOWN IN THE SEA WORLD TO REVEAL NEW ROCKS AND LANDS DURING SPECIFIC MONTHS OF THE YEAR. THE IDEA IS TO USE THE TIDES TO REVEAL THE PLATFORMS ON THE SEA TO MAKE THEM PURELY WALKABLE WHILE DURING THE HIGH RISE SEA LEVELS IT WILL BE USED AS SEA ACTIVITY AND WATER FLOATING AREA THE IDEA WILL BE IMPLEMENTED THROUGH USING CONTOUR LINES OF THE SEA AND ITS NATURAL FORM TO THEN PUT THE FORM AS A COMPLEMENTARY AND COMPLETING ELEMENT RATHER THAN AN EXTENSION.

Popis projektu

This project consist from reception, exhibitions, auditorium, workshops, labs, library, display area, lounge, offices, cafeteria, chief office, water platform, pump room, water wheel, pond void.

Technické informace

The construction of the project is a mix between one way flat plate and shear wall system, shear wall is capable of transferring lateral forces from exterior walls, floors, and roofs to the ground foundation in a direction parallel to their planes.

Anfeh museum

This proposal presents a compelling vision for a coastal museum in Anfeh, Lebanon, inspired by the natural rhythms of the sea. The concept, titled “The City Beneath the Tides,” ingeniously utilizes the phenomenon of tidal movements to reveal and conceal architectural elements, creating dynamic spaces that transform with the changing sea levels. During low tides, submerged platforms emerge as walkable areas, while high tides repurpose these spaces for aquatic activities, offering visitors a unique and immersive experience. The design thoughtfully integrates with the site's natural contours, employing contour lines to inform the architectural form, resulting in a structure that complements rather than dominates its environment. The program includes a reception area, exhibition spaces, auditorium, workshops, laboratories, library, display areas, lounge, offices, cafeteria, and specialized features like a water platform, pump room, water wheel, and pond void. Structurally, the project combines a one-way flat plate system with shear walls, effectively managing lateral forces and ensuring stability. While the conceptual framework is innovative and contextually responsive, further development in material selection, detailing, and spatial articulation would enhance the project's feasibility and user experience. Detailed plans illustrating circulation, material choices, and construction methods would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the design's functionality. Overall, the "Anfeh Museum" is a commendable effort that harmoniously blends architectural innovation with environmental sensitivity. With additional refinement, it has the potential to serve as a landmark cultural destination that celebrates the interplay between nature and built form.
