Maserati Museum in Modena by Future Systems

On the website WorldArchitectureNews.com, photos of the model, visualization, and sketch of the new museum of the car manufacturer Maserati have appeared, which is being built in Modena, Italy, by the architectural office of Jan Kaplický. The museum wraps around the house of Enzo Ferrari and is predominantly buried into the ground. The entrance to the relatively small museum is through a curved and slanted glass wall that draws you into the exhibition space. The glass façade is also divided by horizontal strips, reminiscent of the front grille of Maserati cars. Roof skylights resembling fish gills are oriented to the north and flood the interior with diffused daylight. The walls and floors transition smoothly into each other and are made of fine white terrazzo. The striking and embracing space offers a perfect environment where the achievements and finesse of the Maserati collections can shine. Link>
