I agree and disagree with Joe:
It’s dull, true, but it appears to be open and free flowing, and still is able to put you in intimate environment. The gallery is the frame. Its the artwork’s job to import the energy.

Lets remind ‘leandro locsin’ about the disability descrimination act shall we; public buildings have to have a wheelchair complient WC on the ground floor, which have outward swinging doors… tut tut…

Joe, agree. Just nice planning doesn’t really make a design design. This context reminds me of the gallery storefront in NY by Steven Holl and Vito Acconci. That’s what I call design.

great planning! except for the toilet door swing.

it lacks enriched texture and color considering there’s a lot of exceptional wallcover designers in London.

you can have white wall but an expressed wall texture or 3D patterns. there’s matte surface, glossy surface, satin, blob, fluid, scored…… etc etc

galleries doesnt have to have a corbusian default white “wall as canvass” approach.

uber gasgas na kaya yan, iba naman kaya… malawak ang imahinasyon
