Reinterpreting the Baroque
Counter Reformation Art and Architecture Museum (CRAAM), Rome, Italy - The Counter Reformation Art and Architecture Museum (CRAAM) is a carved negative within the poche of the urban fabric. The museum is the articulation of the void, reacting to the boundaries of the site. A rhythmic articulation of the form of the building using simple bars creates a recognition of the site's thresholds. Formal overlaps are a central location for vertical circulation, thereby emphasizing multiple centers articulated by inverted cupolas.
