For the general public, when arriving, they are first introduced to a large open space; (the top of the translucent roof.) a public meeting space where they can meet their friends, or to appreciate Piccinini's studio.
Then they'll descend down a set of large steps, in which the exhibition space is slowly reveal to them. At the bottom, the whole space opens up to them and they are greeted by the artist's work. I decided not to enclose the whole space with the translucent roof, to pursue the idea of openness of public places.
This image shows Piccinini's inspired walls, integrating the idea of "blobbyness" of most Piccinini's work into the space. Also, note the contrast of textures, from curves and free flowing shapes of Piccinini to sharp and jagged fragments of Goodwin, highlighting the fusion of both artist's styles in the gallery
Extension of the structural beams of Goodwin's space up into the exhibition space, showing the connection between the 2 spaces. The space is only half covered by a translucent roof, to blur the line between above and underground.
