Designed by Austrian architect Coop Himmelb(l)au, the Art Museum Strongoli will stand high on top of the Motta Grande in Calabria, Italy. When complete, the building will mix the use of flexible exhibition spaces, a small “multi-hall†and a panorama restaurant.
The project is a composition of three main elements: the emblematic, cone-shaped construction with the entrance is orientated towards the city, while the cantilevering restaurant at the opposite end of the building offers a panoramic terrace facing the sea in the east. Both public attractors are linked by a two-storey exhibition volume.
