An unfinished art piece is in between − in between start and finish, complete and incomplete. While walking through this Archive, one finds themselves in a constant state of in between: in between art and nature. Four identical glass towers stand in the center of the building: two of which are displays of unfinished art, spanning three storeys high, while the other two are gardens, placed diagonally from one another. The vertical trees and towers are in perpetual dialogue.
The Archive’s main floor, a large open three-storey space, is separated into secondary spaces through a decomposition of the ground and shifts in floor heights. Open floor plates above, articulated around the glass towers and connected by bridges, allow visitors to glide through the space. Acting also as a community space, visitors may come to socialize, work or pass the time.
