The Alborg Art Gallery by Alvar Aalto in Alborg Denmark.
It has a nice play of light and unique distribution of natural light amongst the sculptural art and much more diffused somewhat dull light illuminating the painting display spaces.
I then looked at the National Finnish Contemporary Museum of Art in Helsinki or also kwon as Kiasma by Steven Holl Architects. This building utilises various different techniques to diffuse and disperse light to lower floor through the unique "intertwined" geometry of the building. The museum focuses on circulation through phenomenology and perception. See images.
I also examine the Melbourne art gallery which I had previously visited on a recent trip to Melbourne. It appeared to have a central "core"at which the masses would circulate around acting as a artistic centerpiece.
After examining some precedent studies I have identified certain areas at which i should be focussed on to create a unique gallery environment and workspace. The key components I believe an art gallery design needs to focus on is lighting i.e how do I get natural light diffused into the gallery space. Also utilising the circulation in a way to maximise viewing space as well as providing a unique experience for the viewer.
Also the use of voids and double height galleries could give a unique effect to displaying the art.
This was a roof design of a painting gallery in Spain, i found it whilst looking through GA document journals. It uses a diffuser on both walls and also incorporates artificial light form the same region so whether you are in the gallery at night or the day you receive the same amount of illumination.
