The Musee D'Orsay and the Kimbell Art Gallery both create that tunnel like affect from the use of an arched ceiling in a long and narrow space. I enjoy the soft light both of these have created whether it be due to natural light or artificial light.
Although the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) is not on the list of recommended precedents, it has been redesigned by Frank Gehry and has gained a lot of international attention. It creates that rounded sculptural walkway and incorporates beautiful soft light that plays with shadows from the wooden ribbing. I also hope to incorporate a large piece gallery that can inhabit both large pieces of art in a beautiful empty open area as well as would be large enough to have large sculpture interact with the walls and ceiling of the space.
The Musee du Jeau de Paume is that really long narrow shape that matches the shape of Site One. It is so simple yet powerful. I appreciate the repetitiveness of the archways along the side of the building. I would like to translate into the repetitiveness of perphaps many more than the original three buildings I was imagining and the archways inhabit different precincts and pathways through the area.
