PEACE MUSEUM DESIGN IDEAS BY ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS

We are delighted to share museum projects by Queen’s University students that cast a light on what a peace museum in Belfast might look like. In December 2022, master’s students in the MSc Advanced Architectural Design programme completed designing a peace museum on Bruce Street with a focus on people’s stories. The three-month project was led by Dr Gul Kacmaz Erk, architect Pat Wheeler and researcher Ece Sila Bora. The museum is composed of a people’s gallery, digital gallery, kids’ gallery, auditorium, foyer/temporary exhibition, workshop space, reading room/archive, office space, shop/cafe, artist’s residency as well as an outdoor room. These projects will be exhibited at Queen’s Film Theatre on 17-30 May 2023 and Queen’s Architecture (15 Chlorine Gardens) on 1-8 June 2023.
