Welcome home
The Museum of Naval Transport captures these vessels, bringing people from the beginnings of marine transportation, the canoe, to the industry’s future, the electric water taxi. This provides a brief introduction to those visiting Le-Havre and a nudge to explore the historic city further upon arrival.
The existing windbreaks’ architectural expression lends a prominent character, and by expanding this form, the building pays respect to the public image of Le-Havre without being obsequious. The museum is a scion of the iconic windbreak, a distortion of such. The three ‘windbreaks’ are held together by capillaries spanning between them, fluidly intertwining between the ships presented within.
