I was wondering if anyone can point me to some specific examples of built works that have a modern exterior or shell with a traditional/historic interior design. Is there anything out there like Villa Savoye on the outside with like Rococo salons and/or Gothic kitchens and/or Turkish baths on the inside? Maybe Barcelona Pavilion on the outside with Greek temple interior? No hurry. Was just suddenly inspired to ask.
are u also morphologist ? cause he/she asked the exact same type of question. at first it thought it was coming from some first year arch student but its really coming from someone with over thousand comments. why are you hiding with two different user names?
Yea this is definitely not me. So weird! But I was doing some more research after I got some great responses for my question, and I found this really awesome space where the underside of a bridge is now being used as a modern grocery store. There are vaulted ceilings and everything. Here's the website:
The questions are diametrically opposite. This one is arguably more interesting since it actually requires an conscious backtracking on the part of the designer, as opposed to retrofitting an old house with modern interiors which by now is a pretty standard approach.
the closest I can think of would be when people move into brutalist flats and fill them with doilies and flowers – a significant act of architectural resistance?
The ruins are not part of the building as they are a sideshow of adaptive reuse. I don't see how you can credit an architect for something almost 1600 and 2600 years afters the fact.
On top of that, preserving the ruins was part of the competition rules-- no architect can be credited for something they were told to do. This was no one's genius other than ICOMOS.
So, your point is kind of moot.
Also, for a greek museum displaying Greek artifacts to Tschumi's bullshit tectonic/programmatic diagram/narrative/donkey anus... it sure is filled full of nothing but roman copies of greek originals.
Orochi, your posts take the cake of vulgarity and do something extremely naughty to it. Not the subject matter of course, just phrases like 'donkey anus' and 'monkey blowjob.'

somewhat akin to the Getty...
REX, Munch Museum, 2009
The compartmentalized approach leads to any number of mix-up possibilities.
otherwise...
Level 1: lobby, bar. restaurant, spa, fitness, banquet rooms.

Examples of modern exterior with traditional interior
Hi!
I was wondering if anyone can point me to some specific examples of built works that have a modern exterior or shell with a traditional/historic interior design. Is there anything out there like Villa Savoye on the outside with like Rococo salons and/or Gothic kitchens and/or Turkish baths on the inside? Maybe Barcelona Pavilion on the outside with Greek temple interior? No hurry. Was just suddenly inspired to ask.
are u also morphologist ? cause he/she asked the exact same type of question. at first it thought it was coming from some first year arch student but its really coming from someone with over thousand comments. why are you hiding with two different user names?
here are examples of additions built with in ruins
mill city museum, minneapolis,minneasota
the hedmark museum in hamar norway
the tea house at montemor-o velho, portugal
restaurante la centrale, beirut lebanon
Castelvecchio Museum
that should cover both your questions!
No hiding. Different person. Serious question, of course inspired by the other thread.
I find it interesting to see what architectures are sub-consciously non-taken for granted. Unthinking an Architecture?

"modern exterior with traditional interior"
"traditional exterior with modern interior"
Reading comprehension among the youth nowadays...

i would throw the getty center into that mix.
Tschumi's Acropolis Museum has a pretty 'traditional' interior...
"traditional" puh-leez.
I mean it is a nice project but given the theme, location and subject of the museum, Tschumi's Acropolis Museum SUCKS.
There is nothing traditional about that interior other than the objects in it.
the closest I can think of would be when people move into brutalist flats and fill them with doilies and flowers – a significant act of architectural resistance?
are the ruins not "traditional"?
