MUAR is a visual website concept for the Shchusev Museum of Architecture, created as part of a BBE course project.
Together with the team, we explored how a museum’s architectural space can be translated into a digital interface. Instead of treating navigation as a purely functional UI element, we turned it into the main metaphor of the project: a navigation system that works as a museum map — guiding users through content as if they were moving through physical galleries.
The visual language was intentionally restrained and architectural. We built the entire interface around strict constraints — a minimal set of tools used with maximum discipline: one typography size, a 12-column grid, a clean, almost “silent” layout and geometry-driven composition.
This minimalism isn’t decorative — it mirrors the museum’s spatial thinking and allows structure to speak for itself. From the first screen, navigation becomes the focal point, and as users move across sections it evolves: in some moments it behaves like a route map, in others — like a technical drawing legend, extending the same geometric logic that holds the full interface together.
