For this project, we were tasked to create a building that would house 12 pieces of art by Martin Puryear. The site was located near the Menial Collection and Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas. My design revolved around the 9- square grid. Using the precedent such as the "Neue Staatsgalerie" and the "Red Trilogy" by James Stirling, I focused on designing similar features to the natural lighting and gallery spaces to my building. The grid concept helped me greatly when deciding how the floor plan would come together with the art pieces. For this project, I focused my design greatly on the aspect that it would be situated within a neighborhood. I aimed to not make it stand out but to look more like a modernized house instead of a concrete block. We were tasked to focus greatly on the aspect of natural light and to reduce the amount of artificial light as much as possible.
