This brief part aims to introduce the reader to the main concepts in order to understand the successive posts.
In this project I really wanted to connect to the site and the community.
Firstly I wanted the gallery to communicate with commuting citizens and I went about this by opening up a large courtyard at the front of the site, onto King street.
The courtyard has trees and is flanked by an arcade with steps which people can sit on. There are trees also and a competition mural (explained later) which ca be viewed fom the footpath.
The arcade leads to the main entrance and continues through the building when open to the public. It leads to the Large sculpture yard and out onto the narrow road which intersects Eliza St and more importantly opens up this street which was previously used as a parking area.
The main building is structured around a central cube gallery space which I was inspired by the Lyon Housemuseum, though it does not relate to the precedent in any ohter way.
The appartment is placed at the back of the site which is private and recieves north facing sun.
