When considering spaces of archiving, a museum of fine art held within an adaptive reuse building provides the perfect blend. Situated in the heart of Ottawa, this interactive art museum will offer a world of exploration, history and emotion for the users. By taking an existing building from the Ottawa area and using it to both showcase Ottawa’s history and artists’ work. This building will encapsulate character and architectural history while the interior provides a space for guests to admire the artwork. The design of this museum project will aim to challenge the status quo of plain-white-box exhibition spaces while providing Ottawa with a productive, sustainable, and historical addition to the city.
