Abstract
The research is about the new museum in Tarwewijk, Rotterdam South which aims to re-wire the city + art. The research is conducted through fieldwork observations and analytical research done in the Tarwewijk district. The MODUS Museum aims to adopt the industrial characteristics and forms of the ports of Rotterdam while integrating public life and the quotidian patterns to the museum. Through this approach, the mobility and the flexibility of the museum is reflected. The design draws upon a spontaneous world and relies on the ad-hoc elements which constitute the museum to allow the participant to detect the context and the sense of collaborating. Through a flexible design, the museum can be continuously transformed and reconfigured to accommodate variety of modes of productions and events.
