PROPOSAL 2


PARTI'S->
This Parti describes the exterior of the building on King Street, where the red loud speaker (seen below) is placed in a raised glass box that is protruding from the building. This element will grab people's attention and will urge them to question perhaps what this building is, and what the purpose of the loud speaker/"voice" is in the front. It sets the tone for the artworks they will see inside. As people's attention on the street is captured, they would look up to other glass openings in the building- where people would be walking around. Interesting relationships between the street and the building are formed with a emphasis on communication and a "voice" in society.

This is the Parti for the back facade of the building, as people are experiencing the art. The art goers are enriched with knowledge as they are inside the building, their thoughts are contained. Their questions about society are becoming clear. They are consumed in their own world, hopefully inspired to make a difference as they leave the building.

Interior of museum reception, gift shop/ library, office, bathroom and kitchen. You can see the opening where you would be transported into the double level gallery space.
Court yard looking on to apartment and artists studio and artists storage space (all glass- continuing the idea of communication and the voice in this building). Green walls on either side- with trees and other plans too.

Looking from the apartment onto museum back facade. Glass wall so we can (in the courtyard and in the apartment) see in to artworks- continuing communication again. In this image we can see the ramps that is the means of circulation throughout the building.
