The Andy Warhol Temporary Museum by LIKEarchitects

Hundreds of metal paint cans were used to build this temporary museum inside shopping centre in Lisbon. A total of 1500 cans were used to create four themed rooms.

Eight rows of cans shape the exhibition walls. The lowest three rows were filled with sand to give stability to the walls.

The museum was open for three months. 32 original artworks were displayed here of Andy Warhol.

Instead of neutral white walls that typical gallery spaces have, the architects opted for everyday household objects that Warhol adored in his paintings.

wonderWALL - Lisboa 2014 | LIKEarchitects

wonderWALL is an exhibition space designed to receive the masterpiece The Pool by Jen Lewin in Colombo Shopping Mall, in Lisbon, Portugal, built with approximately 20,000 strips of white and black fabric. For brightness control, the work of Jen Lewin is not visible from the outside. Instead, the coverage presents itself as a large circular weaving screen that highlights the manual process that characterises the construction of this dome space, bringing out a unique textile texture.
