Abstract

In the South of Rotterdam there is a disconnection between the artworld and the way of life in the neighbourhood. The design of a new museum will try to attempt to reduce the gap between different segments of society in the area. Therefor a museum for Street art will be introduced. Focussing on re-wiring the museum to the neighbourhood and make art accessible again for all kind of audiences. To achieve this, the traditional museum image will change by breaking down the walls of the inaccessible museum and instead give room to the accessible and low culture form of Street Art.
