Abstract

The relationship between monument and modernity was always an uphill challenge, since the connection between those two elements has always been complicated. Therefore, this historical thesis will examine a very famous study-case '' The Fundatie museum''. In order to discover how the relationship between existing and new is tackled, and to investigate if this solution can succeed or not and to which extend can be valuable having this combination through a medieval city centre in Zwolle. To understand this relationship and examine the final result, the historical and political background will be studied. Because economic shifts had simultaneously affected the prosperity in the architectural and building sector but also the social and cultural value, which will lead to changes in the necessity for space, type, form and function.
