Abstract
The article develops a way of working from the Herreros Studio in the Munch Museum project, based on strategies that promote the exhibition space as a place of events. They use the diagram to organize the program and connect spaces, working with flexibility that allows for heterogeneity and programmatic change where other agents of the community intervene in the definition of the museum and which it completed with the users. A methodology consisted of developing a story that begins from the competition and the references based on the connectivity of the diagram for the definition of identities. This open narrative explores the museum ́s concept through diagrammatic situations both in the architectural, social, and political plane, and its capacity to foresee the spatial appropriation of users is the clue to proposing an expanded version of the museum: The museum is the city.
