Abstract
Museums are nowadays among the most popular projects for the public, the concept of thermal comfort in museums is often treated after the realization. Even if in the design, the architect shows a particular intention to work with daylight which is considered for these projects as main, the architect often considers certain elements that have an influence on the energy balance of these projects such as orientation, building materials,....The museum route is the key to the success of any museum project, it is the space of the visitor, the space in which he is invaded by sensations. In this study, we will first evaluate the thermal comfort in the museum as a whole (building) and then through its route. the objective is to guide reflection in the design of the museum towards the route in order to reduce energy consumption. In order to carry out our study, some European museums were analysed by means of simulation, according to the thermal comfort of their designs for the most unfavourable conditions, then by thermal analysis of the museum route according to the segmentation principle using the average radiant temperature. this method allowed us to bring out correspondences between the architectural form and the route. finally, the segmentation method constitutes the basis of a new methodological approach called "thermal topology" based on the discontinuities of the temperatures in the route.

The birth of the thermal topology: The segmentation method we have proposed in this paper has nothing to do with metric dimensions of space, it depends on changes in temperature in space
Summary
The birth of architecture had always been linked to the human being and his needs. Theories on the architectural space haveJOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY URBAN AFFAIRS, 2(3), 122-136 / 2018 passed from the metric dimensional character to the ambient psychological character. Man is surrounded by several spheres of variable dimensions; these variations are due to his way of moving in space and the route between several spaces. These variations affect human man's behavior and his ways of appropriating space. The museum has a public character because it is designed and intended since the beginning of its appearance to the public, it has its private property and many characteristics in relation to its user who is its visitor. Visitors must be transported by their emotions and live a very personal adventure in a space intended for the public
