Description:

The Covid-19 pandemic has severely cut off all social contact, making us feel the necessity of social connection even more urgently. The gradual decrease in urban public spaces has exacerbated social isolation. This slow process is often overlooked, causing modern people to become numb and gradually accept the situation. Therefore, we urgently need new community public spaces to heal the trauma of community isolation caused by the pandemic and help us return to the community life we once had.

This museum project, situated at the intersection of Wellington's commercial/government and residential districts, serves as the city's threshold. By considering the quality of an attractive public space under the concept of "spatial justice", the museum blends spaces of diverse attributes to create undefined areas for increased possibilities of use. Through a blurred, boundless spatial experience, it aims to provide an inclusive public platform for socializing and gathering for the local community, advocating for more public space within limited land resources.

The spatial relationship in traditional urban architecture is progressive, transitioning from public to semi-public, to semi-private, and finally to private. By breaking this progressive relationship, the fuzzy space between public and private is scattered throughout the building, increasing its interest and the possibility of community gatherings.
