Using the same ideas as the first exercise we were tasked with scaling those ideas up to the size of an art gallery. Through a kit of parts consisting of different wall heights as well as different roof panels, I designed movement through indoor and outdoor space, as well as a roof path that brings users through the entire complex in an infinite loop. This creates not only an art gallery but a destination and an experience as well. 

As a user approaches the structure they are presented with a set of walls that seems to cut up the landscape in front of them. The visitor then makes their way through the gallery, surveying the art as they enter from enclosure to enclosure. The structure winds its way through the open field, changing from enclosure to outdoors, bringing the visitor along. The connecting walls push the user from space to space, ushering them in the right direction. At the end of the path the user is presented with a choice; leave towards to south, or turn the corner to be presented with a set of stairs. These stairs lead to the roof structure which adorns the walls as a separate entity. The user then is presented with another path, leading across the top of the gallery, framing views, and surrounding the user with foliage and shrubbery. The visitor makes their way through the rooftop path and is again presented with a set of stairs, bringing them back down to where they began. 

This infinite loop is a product of the placement of separate galleries. The galleries are separated in an effort to highlight the different ‘seasons’ of the specific artist in mind.

The entire structure plays off the idea of the grid system,
program, and form playing with one another and continually
remaining in constant communication.
