Newtown Art Gallery

The chosen site is a connection Camperdown Memorial Park and the busy King Street. The Art Gallery is a continuous passage that takes patrons on a journey between the Memorial Park and the main street, while inviting them to enjoy the displays of contemporary paintings, installations, and sculptures. The north-oriented outdoor space provides a sunny lookout towards the park and a Sculpture Park behind the gallery.

inspirations for Art Gallery

Steven Holl's expansion of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art has a linear plan with ramps and escalators which separates gallery spaces and circulation very well. The natural lighting works extremely well and I find the architectural play with double / triple height spaces very interesting.
