This gallery and performance space is a partnership of architecture and artistic fields. Spaces are intended to work together, to have visual arts interwoven with performing arts. Concrete gallery walls made on site, comprise a complex stack of volumes interconnected by stairs and bridges. Natural light from a field of geometric skylights reflect and filter light into a soft glow. The performance space is a singular bell-shaped clearing, made by contoured timber ribs, embedded in a fabric of lobbies. Circulation is direct or via landings, scaled for arresting movement and inviting overview.
