Design:
-
The design starts with the idea of reinterpreting a conventional picture frame'as a module- decreasing the members /resources to serve the same function but becoming something more in the process- creating a narrative for the exhibition design.
-
The 'picture frames' also perform as panels/planes defining and dividing the spaces and functions- an expression on dissolving the clear distinction between the inside and outside, with a transparent enclosure, allowing light and the tree to be part of the space
-
the distinctive red band plays with the idea and notion of division.
-
Floating red band- functions as the display system as well as the partitioning panels to provide eclosure for the lecture space while creating a circumambulatory path.
-
the construction system of the red band follows the same principle of the gallery frames.
