BIOMORPHIC ARCHITECTURE: PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION, VENICE / Jonathan Wilson 2nd year













BIOMORPHIC ARCHITECTURE: PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION, VENICE / Jonathan Wilson

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, situated on the Grand Canal, provides Venice with a cultural landmark and a significant collection of modern artworks. This project aims to extend the building, allowing for a larger collection of more contemporary artworks and installations. Preserving the existing neoclassical facade, the new building morphs from the existing, forming two new gallery floors and an events spaces. The Biomorphic Architecture allows the formation of fluid internal space and architectural elements. The new building, having “grown” from the existing site provides Venice with a contemporary continuation of Peggy Guggenheim’s legacy – the celebration of modern and contemporary Art.
