Abstract
This paper embarks on a detailed exploration of the integration of glass as a pivotal architectural element within museum structures, with a specific focus on the renowned Kroller Muller Museum as a prominent case study. The Kroller Muller Museum stands as a beacon of a transformative shift in museum architecture, boldly veering away from conventional reinforced concrete edifices to embrace a contemporary architectural approach predominantly anchored in glass. The deliberate use of glass in its design symbolizes an alignment with the tenets of modernity, reflecting the museum’s evolution in harmony with societal progress and contemporary architectural trends. In line with the philosophy of renowned architect Le Corbusier, who emphasized the necessity of architectural adaptation to cater to evolving societal needs, this study argues that maintaining synchrony with the contemporary era is vital not just for museums but also for the broader realm of architecture and urban planning. Drawing from these principles, this research critically scrutinizes whether the prevalent shift towards transparency, particularly in the form of glass integration, truly aligns with the specific and nuanced requirements of museums within their contextual milieu. By thoroughly analyzing this aspect, the research is to offer beneficial perspectives on the efficiency and suitability of incorporating glass elements in modern museum architecture.
