Abstract

Design work from the 1988 spring semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Viking Ship Museum. Cliff Welch. A museum in Chicago to house a replica of a Viking ship sits between the edge of Lake Michigan and a tree-covered park. The project responds with a straight edge at the lake, and reacts with a lyrically rhythmic twisting form that echoes the branching and undulations of the trees in the park. The park extends into the museum, separating it into two sections: the entry to the museum and gift shop, and the gallery that houses the ship. This movement through the trees becomes part of the spatial sequences of the museum.
