Custom lighting and details add a touch of intricacy to the otherwise modest palette. In our experience, Design360 have an approach that I believe people will find very rare and refreshing these days. Bronze elements act as accents on the heavy façade to catch light and draw attention to the entry of each gallery. Smooth surfaces reflect the changing skies, while the molded modular units pick up on the play of shadows throughout the day. Starting at the bottom with the Café, Multi-purpose Gallery, and an Outdoor Amphitheater, the path guides visitors through five distinct galleries, culminating at the rooftop where you get 360-degree viewing of the activities below.Ĭomposed primarily of various textured concretes, with and without aggregate, the façade and materiality of the building is heavy in nature, like a solid rock sitting firmly in the shifting environment. This project is no different in that regard, a spiraling path leads you through all the spaces, urging you onwards by the desire to see more. Gallery spaces are about the enjoyment of art.

Within the thick mass of the building volume is a series of interlocking spaces that visitors can meander freely within, slowly ascending, enjoying a choreographed journey with directed views both inward and outward. The exhibition galleries above benefit from the public space integration, but it also makes the project much more than just a place for display, it is also a place for sharing. The central void space can be reconfigured and used in many ways, a water feature when filled with water, but also a functional performance and gathering place when the water is drained. The scheme maximizes its outer footprint but carves out a pure conical geometry at the center with a stepped amphitheater at the base. So the design scheme is as much about the internal courtyard, a communal space for the residents, as it is about the exhibition being displayed in the center.ĭrawing inspiration from the seasonal ocean waters nearby-azure and calm in the summers, splintered ice though winter-the building design attempts to encapsulate the natural wonder of water at its core. Despite the straightforward brief of an art center, Aranya, as a community has a strong emphasis on the spiritual nature of their lifestyle ideology, an oneness with the environment. Theres also a second performance space in the form of an outdoor amphitheatre.
