The design for the "Marubi" Museum aims to promote a rich dialogue between tradition and modernity, between the past and present. The legacy of the tradition is underlined by restoring the historical building designed by the Albanian architect born in Shkoder., Kolë Idromeno, while preserving its spatial and structural qualities without any volume transformation or new interior partitions. A modern image associated to the new museographic program is achieved by installing five “functional boxes”, which are prefabricated and detached from the original building, working as pieces of furniture or sculptural elements. Tradition and modernity establish a dialogue in every corner of the building. At the exterior of the museum, a showcase element works as a landmark that indicates the museum entrance; in the interior of the building, the original windows and spatial qualities of the building dialogue with the exhibition boxes; and in the courtyard, the old building coexists with a new modern volume.
