The green represent heavy traffic: both pedestrian and auto. The blue lines represent edge conditions and views in the surrounding context that were adapted and used in my final design. Shaded in portion is representative of building program, the red lines emphasize the hard edges of the building, reinforcing the city block. In plan, the gallery boxes take shape and eventually evolve to break the building edge and create unique conditions that allow special lighting and view orientation In plan, the gallery boxes take shape and eventually evolve to break the building edge and create unique conditions that allow special lighting and view orientation quick sketch of building ideas White is the portion of the building I designed, while the blacked out portions were other program elements laid out in the competition program, mostly consisting of office space. 2nd floor 3rd floor 4th floor Flow of spaces between mid gallery sections. Cut of building through main gallery spaces. Concept was to create a large open space in the circulation that could also be used for larger installations. Sample gallery space at top. Concept of lighting within upper galleries. Created paths of indirect light was the goal to help protect the art while still creating natural lit spaces. Circulation and ramps in between stone cladded gallery spaces. Main entry space and plaza. View from nearby city hall, looking down on Museum. Corner of building and approach from southern docks. Library space is underneath while the galleries float above. Space between existing Noble Center and proposed museum. This space could function as a demonstration space or hold large public audiences for various museum functions. Top most gallery, and views looking out to the harbor.
