Focus Week 5 - Metwork Architects





Metropolitan Workshop is a largely based organisation that takes part in competions globally and have currently won a number of projects

Metropolitan Workshop has won a closed competition for the new Museum of Conflict in Tripoli, Libya. The museum will house permanent and special exhibitions on Libya’s unique history, telling the story of campaigns and conflicts that have shaped the country from colonial power to independent state.

The building’s main design concept is inspired by tented structures used by the Bedouin. The 15,000 sqm museum will be enclosed by a light weight, camouflaging veil, giving the building a dynamic, environmentally responsive and functional form.
