The existing plateau, covering approximately 878 m², was a neglected public space primarily serving as access to the Museum. Its poor condition negatively impacted the Museum's functionality, lacking proper lighting and drainage. To revitalize the plateau, a plan was proposed to enhance its primary role while adding new functions, transforming it into a vibrant urban area. The design divided the plateau into two sections: one as a public space with urban furniture and the other serving as an exhibition area for the Museum, fostering a better connection with visitors. Key upgrades included replacing materials with bush-hammered concrete that aligns with the Museum's facade, improving lighting through concealed LED strips beneath benches, and adding functional lighting for accessibility. The project aimed to create a visually cohesive and functional space that enhances the visitor experience while maintaining its role as a passageway to the Museum. Additionally, it involved improving drainage and revitalizing greenery, ultimately making the plateau an inviting urban environment.
