Art Pavilion M is Studio Ossidiana’s floating circular museum in Almere

Studio Ossidiana launches Art Pavilion M in Almere, the Netherlands, a composition of three perfect rings and home to a museum of land art and multimedia

Art Pavilion M is a serene composition of circles, peacefully floating amid the green expanses of Almere – a ‘new town’ in the Netherlands built in the 1980s on reclaimed land that was once the Zuider sea. It is this history of earth and water, combined with nods to local landmarks and natural formations, that the museum’s creator, Rotterdam-based Studio Ossidiana, references through its design, now open to the public.

The commission came through an invited competition for a museum of land art and multimedia in October 2020, organised by the city of Almere. Drawing on the site’s context was important for the design development – while adding layers of storytelling, imagination and the studio’s signature take on geometries and patterns enriched the final product.

Say Covini and Bellotti: ‘We thought of the museum of land art and multimedia, as a place that could give the possibilities to display, interact and perform on water, to work as a port for art, but also literally as a port, where boats or other floating installations may dock, or inhabit its enclosed pond; a place that will remain public even when the museum is closed, becoming a place to be circumnavigated by canoes, or where [people can] fish and swim in the summer and ice skate in winter.
