Gallery for Contemporary Art 2
The gallery contains
two internal gallery spaces, a textiles/fashion workshop, photography studio
for the use of the workshop patrons, and two external sculpture spaces, one
hard landscaped and one soft.
The building is split
into four segments each defined by the existing plots on the site. The building
also makes use of existing building fabric to define spaces. Maintaining the
majority of the red brick building in the rear potion of the site and two flanking
walls from the existing front portion of the site. Removing everything in
between.
The first space the
visitors encounter is an external concrete, stepped area. This space serves to
invite passers-by, by opening up the buildings to the street and creating an
entrance courtyard. The space is also to serve as an external projection area
at night, with projections played onto the fin wall on the lower ground level.
This would also act to encourage visitors to investigate the galleries current
programme.
The visitors enter
through upper-ground level, there are a number of elements in this reception
space that immediately allow the visitor an spatial understanding of the
building and conceptual thought behind the design. As the visitor enters they
pass through a sheet of light created by the skylight above, this denotes the
second site line. On the left there is exiting wall, on the right, new
board-marked concrete. As the visitor passes through to the main gallery space
another site line is crossed, denoted again by windows, a break in the solidity
of the structure. This theme carries on through the building and indeed to the
sculpture garden at the rear where the site line take the form of a seating
area.
