Competition project, first phase, 1991
One of eight selected schemes for the National Museum of Scotland international open competition, with Aldo ROSSI as non-signatory consulting architect, submitted in April.
Convocation to present in Edinburgh received in Paris on 3rd May 1991, which happened to be Aldo ROSSI’s sixtieth birthday. He was delighted when I rang him at home, before he headed for the office with the news. On the appointed day, however, he was presenting Il Castello (The Citadel project) in Kuala Lumpur, with Morris ADJMI.
Presentation submitted : 2 panels A1 and a design report A4.
NB : Alexander van GREVENSTEIN, commissioner and director of the Bonnefanten Museum of Maastricht, being designed at Aldo ROSSI’s as I was working on NMS, often used to discuss with me the problematic of museological space that was his own, with respect to works to be exhibited — we just need space !
