PROJECT II - ART GALLERY

I used secondary research to conduct my investigation on art galleries.

NAME : Guggeinheim Museum

ARCHITECT : F.L. Wright

SOURCE :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum

 Frank L. Wright’s Museum,was built in 1943 and known for its organic form and organisation of space.

Stacked white cylinder of reinfored concrete with a central atrium with a glass dome - proposed “one great space on a continuous floor,”

 Along the sides of this atrium is a continuous ramp uncoiling upwards six stories for more than one-quarter of a mile, allowing for one floor to flow into another – a processional circulation of viewing art as you go up!

What i really liked about this gallery is the constant interaction between the various floor at all times. Unlike the usual museum spaces with their closed rooms and boxes, this gallery connects all the spaces together into a big coil with ever changing perspectives of the art.

NAME : Kunsthaus Graz

ARCHITECT : Peter Cook

Located in Austria, this is an example of blob architecture and execution of a long standing concept by Archigram leader Peter Cook. The building’s gallery spaces act as “a black box of hidden tricks to be left in the hands of various curators.”- freed from obligation to fit its form to any particular function.

Known for the current trend of responsive architecture,this building or blob as they call it, paves the way for many more in the future, as technology progresses.

The BIX screen is so fascinating with its interactive acrylic glass panels. An unusual in the period of the usual!
