“Each city receives its form from the desert it opposes; and so the camel driver and the sailor see Despina, a border city between two deserts.”
Invisible Cities
The design intends to create a multi-meaning form, raising different interpretation between the local people and the outsiders. For the local people, it’s an excitation to their routinely life, arousing a yearning for the outside world. For the outsider, by resembling the local landscape and applying local space pattern and constructing materials, the museum agitated a curiosity of the local culture. In the function aspect, the museum attempts to create public spaces as the stage and the bazaar. For one thing, the stage acts as an open-air opera house, according with the natives’ keen on dancing and singing, for another, it may also be used as a religious space, where people gather round and pray. The bazaar is designed for both the local monthly market day and for the trading of tourism souvenirs .
