By enhancing the program and understanding the topography, a <span style="font-weight: bold;">b</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">alance between form, function and visual impact</span> for this important space was created. Once the functional part was improved, we could give attention to details that make the space not only a <span style="font-weight: bold;">culture enclosure</span>, but also a building that understands its surroundings to distinguish itself and transform from a simple form to a <span style="font-weight: bold;">powerful symbol,</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> controversial</span>, but ideal to lodge this new space."<br /></blockquote>Michel Rojkind, <a href="http://www.rojkindarquitectos.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rojkind Arquitectos</span></a><br /><br /><br /><blockquote>"When you ask contemporary artists what kind of space they would prefer to exhibit their work in – they almost always describe old industrial warehouses or loft spaces. It is the kind of space where they have their studios, but most importantly the rough structures, with <span style="font-weight: bold;">large spans and generous ceiling heights provides them with the maximum freedom of expression</span>. On the other hand the museum director or the mayor might want an icon that to attract visitors."<br /></blockquote>Bjarke Ingels, <a href="http://www.big.dk/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">BIG</span></a> Partner-in-Charge<br /><br /><a href="http://www.big.dk/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">BIG</span></a> and <a href="http://www.rojkindarquitectos.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rojkind Arquitectos</span></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">New Tamayo Museum</span><br />Mexico
