project 3 - the plans and sections



since the site is very long, it allowed me to create some sort of 'journey' to the end of the gallery, instead of going around in circles and so on. what i wanted to achieve was a gallery that was in its own technological world and that technology has become our world that we live in. the artist's purpose in his artworks supports this as well.

in the middle there is a glazed corridor which features 'tv' like images on the glass panels itself. this reflects Nam June Paik's use of televisions as his medium for his works as he wants to reflect and challenge the notion of technology's role upon traditional living.

the gallery uses a combination of natural light from the glass glazing and artificial light from the 'tvs' and other technological elements. this shows the interelationship between natural energy and man made energy.

the floor above contains the office for the owner and directly linked to the apartment itself. the apartment is seperated from the gallery. the apartment recieves lighting from the facade glazing as well as artificial lighting.
