after winning a competition in 2001, the ‘confluence museum’ in lyon by international practice coop himmelb(l)au is under construction with an
expected completion in 2014. the unique site location at the confluence of the rhône and saône rivers echoes the dichotomy through the architectural
convergence of hard and soft spaces titled the ‘cloud’ and the ‘crystal’. the project will provide a dynamic venue for the public interchange of information
and the acquisition of knowledge through digital and analogical means. the museum is a platform for ‘the research of consciousness, the discovery of
creative questioning’. ‘its clear, readable forms stand for the world in which we move each day. the cloud, by contrast, holds the knowledge of the future.
what is known and what is to be explored are understood in the musée des confluences as a spatial experimental design to stimulate public curiosity.’
