Shortlisted Competition scheme
The scheme is both a proposal for a building and a framework to negotiate the process of design refinement. The design is predicated in the limits of the building envelope and the potential to curate a relationship between the interior of the building and the surrounding town; between the exhibit and the viewer; the historic collection and contemporary art practice and between the adult and the child. Elevations, plans and sections articulate the controlled penetration of art into the street and the street into the place of art. Value judgements of territory, modesty and exhibition dictate levels of opacity, transparency and translucency.
