Temporary Museum in the Netherlands by Anne Holtrop

The project temporary museum (lake) by architect Anne Holtrop stood in the nature reserve Heemskerk near Amsterdam for just six weeks. The pavilion, which resembles a lake with its flowing shape, was part of the exhibition schone schijn open until the arrival of this year's autumn.
Anne Holtrop made a name for himself last year in Almere with a similar project called Trail House, which was also a temporary installation aiming to connect architecture with the surrounding landscape through an amorphous structure.
At the beginning of the project, the drawings were made with a thin line, inspired by the French Dadaist Hans Arp. According to Holtrop, “Arp sought a universal language with his drawings, which resulted in images that did not show anything specific, ordinary, or had any direct meaning.” With this instinctively drawn form, he was able to create a flowing space, resulting in seemingly random and almost impassable corridors with bulbous ends. The resulting form of the pavilion acts like a large puzzle piece thrown into the landscape. The walls of the pavilion are covered with poplar wood veneer. A large part of the pavilion was closed off, with only four windows and one narrow entrance set into the facade. The pavilion housed works by Renie Spoerer, Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky, Driessens & Verstappen, and Sjoerd Buisman. Each artist was assigned one wing of the pavilion and one window. The windows of the pavilion responded in shape to the exhibited works, while also connecting them to the surrounding landscape. “The design achieved that the amorphous outdoor landscape could continue inside as well. It is a small object, but the curved interior spaces will never allow for seeing the interior as a whole.”
Another project by Anne Holtrop with a fleeting lifespan will likely appear next summer in one of the Dutch meadows.
