The proposed building reflects and responds to the cultural and counter cultural events that are happening in context of the given site ‘EAV Parque Lage, in Rio de Janeiro’. Where the proposed museum is trying to retrieve the social qualities of the rural areas for the urban population. The aim of this gallery and learning space is to popularise a field that is highly underrated in today’s Urban generation; The field of Bobbin Lace making in rural Brazil. Users are invited, to go around and explore the different ways through which lace making can be learned.
The permanent exhibition is a space that is about the immersive experience for the visitor rather than an individual type of lace.
One of the surprise elements that the building upholds is its integrated coffee wall, the margins of coffee and smell of coffee recreates an atmosphere of being inside a ‘silo’.
Furthermore, the user can enjoy different types of learning spaces including a library, informal learning areas, group workshop spaces and individual learning spaces.
