Without a site, Jonathan became the entire context from which I was to design. I can only guess at the frustration he experienced. The interior space tries to provoke the visitor's sense of discovery. As color and its associations disappear, the gray world takes over revealing all that was hidden behind the color. As walls unfold the structure reveals itself as does the linkage of spaces.
Serious changes arrive when placing the digital structure into an analog context.
The cylindrical core bearing all structural loads transfers hierarchy to vertical towers attached to anchoring footings. The idea of an entrance becomes an issue as well as a beginning and an end to path. The entry into the gallery places the visitor in the most ambiguous space. It is then up to the viewer to circumnavigate the entire interior. Once acceptance of the entire space is accomplished, the visitor is free to move in any directional manner throughout, thus reflecting on skin and structure and the content of the gallery.
