January 27




Pretty much my first design for this gallery. The design derived from MC Escher's constant study of two objects working together to become one in the positive and negative space. More specifically, his lithograph "Drawing Hands". We have a 1/16" = 1' scale model due tomorrow. This is the basic form. It is 3 stories of gallery space with a large lobby that can be used as a ballroom. The roof doubles as a sculpture garden (a part of the program). Right now the exterior screen involves a pattern of steel bracing and double glazing creating an air space that helps lower heat gain in the constant pursuit of climate control in an art gallery. I plan on making many changes after our crit tomorrow.
