‘Metaxy’ – a term originating from ancient Greek philosophy – refers to the space between two spheres: the divine and the human, the inner and outer worlds, thought and action. In practice, Metaxy emphasises the spaces in between, openness and transitions, and seeks meaning in borderline situations.

This space is to be planned as part of a museum extension project. The building spans two Viennese museum courtyards, the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) and the Museums Quartier, both spatially and thematically. This connection requires an independent architectural language that respects the historical context and develops new spaces in the connection or the ‘in-between’. 

On a meta-level, ‘Metaxy’ in this design also connects the pre-modern with the modern, the interior and exterior spaces, the old and the digital, the exhibition context and urban life. 
The design should tell how these spheres are connected through materiality, lighting, proportions, narrative axes, musealisation and contemporaneity.
