Project 3- Vinyettes

I reflected on Eileen Gray when I designed the senquence of the gallery spaces using the same compression of spaces. The initial gallery spaces are small and initmate and gradually release the patrons as they proceed throughout the gallery.

Small Sculpture Room

In this room I wanted to create an intimate small space. The light enters via a small skylight creating ambiant lighting. The display reflects the crystaline theme created on the facade.

Mezzanine Level

This space I wanted to have a machine-like feel. I would use expanded mesh flooring which would allow light to penetrate to the space below. The stair help emphasise the machine-like arrangement using expanded mesh goings and metal balustrading reflecting on Klippel's artwork.


Large Sculpture Gallery Space


This space is designed to achieve maximum volume and light. It is primarily lit by a large skylight in the roof with a northern aspect but also through large windows also facing north. The changing light in this room will bring to life the large metal sculptures in this space by means of the dancing shadows and light reflected off the sculptures.


The Courtyard

The courtyard experiences optimum light as it takes advantage of the northern aspect. It is based around a Zen garden, a belief Klippel was particularly interested in, using pebbles and water whilst still continuing the crystaline arrangement seen throughout. This courtyard displays more of Klippel's sculptures as a water feature.
