THE NEW MUSEO CULTURAL de SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO WILL SERVE AS A SPACE FOR VISITORS TO CONTEMPLATE PAST TRADI- TIONS AND TO LOOK ONTO THE EXISTING CITY AS A CONTRAST. THIS WILL BE DONE WITH VARIATIONS IN THE TYPES OF SPACES A VISITOR WILL PASS THROUGH WHILE ON THEIR VISIT TO THE MUSEUM. SPACES BETWEEN EXHIBITS WILL BE KNOWN AS ‘TRANSITIONS’ IN WHICH A VISITOR IS CONNECTED BACK TO THEIR CONTEXT AND BECOME AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS. WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SEASONAL VEGETATION, A VISITOR CAN ALSO EXPERIENCE THE DRAMATIC CLIMATE OF THE AREA WITH THE CHANGING SEASONS, AS WELL AS THE MICRO CHANGES WITHIN ONE DAY. EXHIBITION SPACES WILL DIRECT A VISITOR’S ATTENTION BACK INTO THE BUILDING WHERE SANTA FE ART AND CULTURE WILL BE ON DISPLAY. WHILE THE VISITOR MAY NOT BE LOOKING UPON THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF THE OUTDOORS, THEY MAY STILL EXPERIENCE IT WITHIN THESE SPACES THROUGH NATURAL DAY LIGHTING AND VENTILATION. SPACES WILL BE DEFINED BY THEIR PERMEABILITY TO THE OUTDOORS, THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO EACH OTHER AND THE CORES OF CIRCULATION WITH MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY OF MAJOR SPACES. CIRCULATION WILL RUN PARALLEL TO THE SANTA FE RIVER WITH PRO- GRAM FLANKING ON EITHER SIDE. THESE SPACES WILL BE INTERSECTED PERPENDICULAR WITH VOIDS AND VEGETATION TO BRING IN SUNLIGHT AND VIEWS.
