Art Gallery for BW Architect
The project has a floor area of 60 square meters and the client wants to transform it into a community art gallery. The space is a strip of space 13 meters long, 4.2 meters wide, and 5.4 meters high.

On the long axis, it is divided into three halls in front, middle, and back, and partial space is divided into two floors. Each space penetrates and flows into each other, forming multiple ambiguous Spaces. Through the height, the change of enclosing gives the sense of the rhythm of space.

Operation Flow
The original intention of the design was to provide a quiet space in the noisy city, so I wanted the feeling of the space to be inward when designing. More is to make changes in the interior space itself, and there is less connection with the outdoors.
Research
The idea of the design came mainly from two artists, one is the artist Yves Klein, and the other is the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Klein blue is a deep and pure color, applied to the design of the museum to give space a kind of vitality, Tadao Ando's design philosophy is deeply impressed to me, can extract the relationship between many people and nature, people and society, from this starting point of thinking, so that the meaning of design to another level.
Inspiration
"Architecture should remain silent and let light and wind express" – Japanese architect Tadao Ando. From the perspective of architectural philosophy, the elements of nature are used to integrate architecture and nature. The museum is designed as an introverted space with no cluttered streets in sight, but the skylights in the front and back halls give the space a sacred temperament.
