Zaha Hadid - Ordrupgaard Extension

Ordrupgaard Extension

Contours have been studied and abstracted, then lifted and twisted to form a shell that becomes the museum enclosure. A formal language of gently lifted contours, which are lifted again to form walls roof and other contour form outside the structures of the extension.

At once a discrete feature in the landscape and an addition to the existing garden topography. This ensemble separates the flat terrain of the approach to the building from the slope of the garden at the rear of the site.ä

Views are set up both from the outside in and vice-versa. Visitors encounter art in the garden, art upon approach to the new extension and art within the building. Art can be seen from different vantage points on the grounds; works of different scales. Interior landscapes within the building’s galleries are at once a counterpoint to the exterior as well as in direct scale or thematic connection to one another.
Rooms in this proposal are transformed into a series of flowing connected spaces displaying works from the permanent and temporary collection.

The adopted local planning strategy positions the new extension on an east-west line, effectively completing the bisection of the site with an ensemble of garden and building enclosures, from the tall mini-forest to the front and the sloping English garden at the rear.

The Mansion will return to it’s domestic context and concentrate it’s display on contextual and original furniture and original period features separate from the art displays.
Theoretically, the use of the Mansion can be considered as part of the curatorial life of the Ordrupgaard entity, the Ordrupgaard ensemble. Installations of furniture, art and sculpture could well enhance the curatorial program.
The proposed staff-use of the existing entrance building will physically split the buildings, and divide the entity.

The new building proposal is, in greater area, physically separated with a courtyard from the existing long French Gallery building. A Foyer looks west to the courtyard and the long wall of the existing Gallery. The galleries are aligned north south behind the Foyer and Shop area.
Earthworks and embankments bring the building into the ground at key points around the plan. One such embankment, a ramp, brings visitors to the Foyer.
Minimal excavation is required to accommodate the Temporary Gallery space.
A small basement is cut into the ground to house a kitchen, service area, passenger lift and visitor facilities.

An internal ramp brings visitors from the Foyer and Temporary display area to the Permanent Collection, Café and Multi-purpose area.
The visitor’s orientation through the galleries exploits the gentle sloping topography of the site. The canvas-like shell, which is supported on the network of walls, is curved in section and cut to admit indirect natural daylight into the interior.

A thick serviced wall of elevators, stairs and storage divides the Foyer from Gallery spaces. A long sloping ramp divides the Temporary and Permanent Gallery spaces and leads to the Multi-purpose Hall and Café which face out to the garden.

Rather than specific and familiar proportioned rooms, zones and enclosures are proposed. Tighter enclosures are provided for those collections which demand total artificial lighting. Others enjoy skylighting provided through slits cut into the "shell" roof.
The Lighting slits act as orientation devices to the visitors. Natural light is filtered and moderated as it passes through the building shell, the roof.

Site Plan courtesy Zaha Hadid Architects

The new entrance is accessed from a narrow courtyard running alongside the long wall of the existing French Gallery. The Foyer runs parallel “pointing” visitors in each direction to the galleries north and south in the plan.

The Café is located at the southerly tip facing the garden with the Multi-purpose area adjacent. Visitors can get to the Café from an independent ramped passage descending from the Foyer to the Café, without ever having to pass through the galleries. Terraces are designed to connect the new to the existing Mansion garden terraces ; again providing visitors with a visual connection from one to another facility.

The design of the expanded Car Park takes it’s design cue from the Gallery extension design.
Art trucks use the existing approach road, bypassing the car park access and straight to the pull-in area adjacent to and in front of the new public Foyer. Full height and width doors admit works at wheelbase height to the unloading floor.

Total extension area: 1,150 square meters
The extension is scheduled for completion in 2004
