The construction of the new Museum of Modern Art in Muggia, an Istrian-Venetian town in the south of Trieste, is an interesting new element within the reference area.

The idea is born as a result of the donation by the artist Ugo Carà (1908 – 2004) for the Municipality of Muggia: he gives part of his works, on condition that they find space in a new suitable building; the designers take advantage of the availability of the Master for consultations on the design, during which Carà gives accurate indications.

After a strict analysis of the context, the project develops considering the diversified and complex environment and the public and collective role of a museum, following four guidelines:

  • respect for the place
  • flexible use
  • study of exhibition paths
  • proper use of natural and artificial light
