I should state first and foremost that I do find it interesting. That precursor stated, how can “the one and only material used is made of layered wood profiles stuck together.”? It is not the structure of the project, which would be acceptable since there is existing building. There is some of the existing white “stuff” showing, I will assume drywalling around the columns. Two visible materials already. The flooring and and the stairs will require one or two others, as well as a hand rail I assume.
I understand the idea of overwhelming singularity to a design, and specifically in a place where it is meant to fade into the background, but we must be realistic too. Jed makes a proper statement about withholding evaluation, and even more so in regards to waiting to see the lighting strategies. Nice concept diagram/model though.

this is good by detail. love the wiggle chair-like material ! but i most love the method of the folds, very mature. you cannot fold natural wood like this… youre gonna have a lot of splice but here, David used ‘plasticity’ properties of concrete and injected it in wood. very good.

i love to comment ! it’s like we just free away our working stress, we are related with design, with a lot of pressure on and always questioning our oun stuff, here we can just critisize other’s work without any consequences, and nearly anonymouslly…
it’s just like a daily routine for me

Love it!!, precise, simple, contemporary. used the space with a really nice and trendy shape, without being megalomaniac, just one question, if is an art gallery what about the lighting proposal and art display areas?

the computer renders are lovely and understated though.

a lovely simple idea…. but like all of those lovely simple ideas it won’t be good or bad until it’s finished and operating so i don’t really know if we can judge it yet. the quality of this will be in the execution and i don’t think the model is doing it any favours. or, rather, yes it would help a client to visualise the scheme but, crucially (in terms of this website) it doesn’t communicate the quality of the end product for those of us who have seen a lot of models. i do like the project though. would be excited to see the end result.
