Morphological Analysis of the Kheireddine Palace converted into the Museum of Tunis City

Rym Bouhamed

Abstract

This article examines the spatial configuration of the Tunis City Museum through the use of both spatial syntax theory and Wayfinding method. In fact, field observations confirmed that the spatial morphology of the museum presents a smooth and coherent path, allowing users to navigate easily throughout the entire space. Despite similar findings about the museum morphology through concrete collected data, we presume that it is insufficient to draw definitive conclusions. Indeed, it would be more significant to consider other criteria to determine whether the space can be deemed successful and whether it has met the challenge of preserving our architectural heritage. Nevertheless, the ICOM Charter emphasizes the importance of conservation in a museum context. Currently, the museum functions as an art gallery. Thus, this conversion can be seen as a partial success, while offering a high level of spatial quality for a fluent cultural visit.
