The museum is located on the ground floor of the new building of the Porto Pharmacy Association. This contemporary multifunctional building provides a unique modern context for the exhibition. The exhibition design cleverly retains the structural grid texture of the original floor slab, and through the construction of a set of geometric reference systems, it forms a dialogue with the pure and bright white environment, thus strengthening the aesthetic pursuit of “minimalism” in the space.
In terms of architectural treatment, the design team adopted a subtraction strategy, and through finely controlled spatial interfaces and precise geometric proportions, created a highly tense exhibition area within the existing concrete frame. The use of white as the base tone not only highlights the exhibits themselves, but also creates a pure atmosphere that is almost like a laboratory, which is consistent with the precision and professionalism of medical science.
This restrained design language ultimately achieves a dual effect: on the one hand, it establishes visual rhythm through the geometric order of the building itself, and on the other hand, it provides a neutral and inclusive display background for different types of medical exhibits. When natural light shines in through the glass curtain wall, the grid projection and the display cabinets interact subtly, making the entire museum space a living exhibit, continuously interpreting the symbiotic relationship between architecture and exhibition.
