Abstract
The active museum of art: During this Graduation project I search for a new way of positioning an art museum in the 21st century in Rotterdam south Tarwewijk. An Art Museum changes the local environment of its surrounding area. It can have a positive influence by developing neighbourhood assets but it also can lead to gentrification and displacement. To increase these neighbourhood assets this graduation research search for an active museum that integrates art in the daily lives of people and local neighbourhood by focusing on theme of participation and interaction. Creating an inclusive public space for a dynamic collaboration between the art, artists the audience and the environment. Where the design concept results in building a connection between Rotterdam south and the rest of Rotterdam. Reflecting the city structure and history. Merging art disciplines, building as performance (active building), openness, transparency, porosity, strong centre point for encounter and free choice of routing.
