Main Gallery Space


The main gallery space is a double height room that contains a ramp and stairs that leads to the other galleries. The space is intended to be used mainly for performance, scultpure and installations, as the wall space isnt adequate for hung images. The important feature of the space is that it links to almost all the circulation paths, meaning that the space itself can be reentered at different elevations and from different directions as one moves throught the gallery sequence.

The space is naturally lit by a combination of sunlight boundcing off the southern wall, which is angled down to reflect more light and to accomodate the thickness of the grass on top of the wall, and by bounced light entering the four skylights.
