After a delayed opening originally scheduled for March 27th, the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (maat) has begun its new chapter with a museum-wide architectural intervention designed by New York-based studio SO - IL.
Titled Beeline, the project is an ephemeral work that transforms the Amanda Levete-designed building into a series of spatial encounters that take guests through elevated pathways, stage areas, and workshop zones. "This not only transforms the way visitors enter and experience maat, but also challenges the implied hierarchies of spaces in a traditional museum and provide flexibility for an ever-evolving organization," said SO - IL co-founder Florian Idenburg in a statement.
The design studio also designed an exhibition for the museum called Currents - Temporary Architectures, in which the practice displays 12 projects it has created over the past decade, exploring both temporary and built works. The exhibit includes 1:1 mock-ups, ephemera, models, and books, among other works by the group.
