The design crystallizes a relationship between the creation of, learning of, and display of art. The difficult site and the demanding program with the creation of a signature building made this project conceptually and technically challenging. Filling in the courtyard and extending over the existing building provided an economical solution to the building addition. The glowing entrance animated the campus and formed a destination point – the signature sought by the client. Galleries are rendered as raw, high-bay, flexible spaces with the user (curator) determining the final layout. The filled in courtyard is recreated as a rooftop garden, replacing a rarely used in-between space with a private, serene oasis.
