Daniel Libeskind's work particularly interests me, as they clearly demonstrate the amount of thought he places into the form, light, and structure of his buildings. The way Libeskind positions his buildings on the site is interesting, as he leaves large amounts of open public/semi private space for the users. Similarly in my design, I want people to enter this sort of space, where there will be areas for them to gather, pause and get in the right mood before entering the gallery.
Libeskind's buildings strike the viewer upon encounter. For this project, I also intend to create a form that fascinates people as they pass; making the person curious and want to enter the space. This idea of connection (physical and visual) will be present, where people are drawn and brought together to form a sense of community. (Newtown is known to be a suburb of tolerance, where individuality is highly accepted and catered for.)
Lighting plays a large role in Libeskind's designs. He experiments with various ways of letting light through his buildings in order to create beautiful forms and spaces. My gallery will incorporate this idea, where the visitor is given a new experience when they enter each room.
