This week on Dezeen, Kengo Kuma's Odunpazari Modern Museum in Turkey and the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau by Addenda Architects opened their doors to the public.

Located in Odunpazari – meaning firewood market in Turkish – the town's history as a timber trading hub was the starting point for the design by Kengo Kuma & Associates.

The stacked timber-clad boxes were designed to house small, more intimate spaces for artwork and open gallery-spaces for events.
