Powerhouse Museum by Moreau Kusunoki to Open in Sydney

This autumn, Sydney, Australia, will welcome the Powerhouse Museum, a creation of the Franco-Japanese architectural firm Moreau Kusunoki. Spanning 30,000 square meters, this marks the firm’s inaugural significant project outside of France. The building boasts seven exhibition plateaus encased in a white steel mesh exoskeleton, enabling column-free spaces. The design embodies the Japanese principle of 'ma.' Inside, the museum offers 30 residential studios, educational spaces, a kitchen, a vegetable garden, a greenhouse, an observatory, and a conference pavilion. A rooftop terrace provides stunning views of the Parramatta River and Sydney's CBD. Founded in 1879, the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences (MAAS) is the largest museum group in Australia. Its opening exhibition, 'Task Eternal,' showcases over 700 items, including the 1934 Cierva C.30 Autogyro.
