Designed by A-001 Taller de Arquitectura and BNKR Arquitectura, their proposal for the new National Museum of Afghanistan turns to the Afghan people for their version of history. Through an eloquent architectural plan and a daring museographic concept, the integration of a new building into the site in Kabul offers a whole new reading of the Afghan History through its ethnic and archaeological treasures, intertwined with multiple multi-sensory strategies. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Afghanistan is a land where crossroads meet, where differences live face to face, where multiple cultures have established their home after being nomads for a long period of history. Many cultures have absorbed Afghanistan, many others have influences it. It is a country that longs for a National project capable of integrating all the different identities that conform it and will refuse any imposed discourse that tries to mask it with a flat perspective. Even its orography eloquently states that Afghanistan is a land of reliefs, with many levels that must be understood.
