Abstract
In Bogotá, the capitol of Colombia, the museum of modern art Mambo needs an extension. This graduation project is a proposal for that extension, which has a focus on the relationship and interaction between the building and the public domain. The result is a building complex that has many different levels of publicness, an open building that is part of the urban fabric. It is a reaction on the harsh demarcation between the public and the private realm in this city. The answer is a more diffuse border at the threshold between building and street, wondering what the (semi) private realm can facilitate for the people in the public realm, in a city where almost all ground is private.
