Architecture has the possibility to stimulate and refresh people’s mind. Architecture also has a natural to bring people together. The purpose of the design is to encourage people moving through the space, and also slow people down and think. The difference of the gallery creates a hierarchy. The experience is not just moving from one gallery to another gallery, it is a whole experience with different scale and shape of spaces.
The art work in the gallery also need to work with the fluidity of the space. These different shape and scale of galleries float in different levels, and people need to move through different levels. Different floor heights have the opportunity to use compression and release to enhance the experience.
