Museo Igor Mitoraj
Pietrasanta

A museum where architecture becomes an act of continuity. Transforming the former municipal market into a cultural landmark, the project embraces the idea of building on the existing, allowing memory and transformation to coexist within the same space.

Museo Igor Mitoraj
Pietrasanta

Designed to house the largest permanent collection of Igor Mitoraj’s works, the museum is conceived as a sequence of spaces where architecture does not frame art, but enters into dialogue with it through light, matter and proportion.

Museo Igor Mitoraj
Pietrasanta

More than a museum, a new civic destination. The project reinterprets an existing public space as a place where culture becomes a catalyst for new urban and social connections, strengthening Pietrasanta’s identity as a city of art.

Museo Igor Mitoraj
Pietrasanta, Italy

The existing structure as the measure of the new museum. The modular reinforced-concrete roof defines the rhythm of plan, section and façade, while the glazed envelope reveals the three naves as a single, open and flexible exhibition space.

Museo Igor Mitoraj
Pietrasanta, Italy

This project is a paradigm of the building on the built. Once the later additions are removed, the modular concrete structure of the previous building emerges as the framework of the new project, to be restored, reinforced and prepared for a new public use.
