The building serves as a home for LACMA’s art collection both physically and digitally. It explores the concept of how digital art galleries and traditional galleries can coexist and intertwine within a fluid space of a museum. While at the same time, it serves as a display platform for digital archiving and image reprocessing of the art collection of LACMA.
We believe that museum experience is often linear, despite gallery spaces could be designed with different floor plans and sizes, as a visitor, we spend most of our time looking at artwork that is directly in front of our eyes. The galleries are particularly designed to emphasize on the sequential and linear experience of museum visiting. Different groups of artwork were displayed in front of us in sequences. Later on combining this concept with the spacial and formal design of our project, we wish to create a building which allows the experience of visitors to be peculiarly designed and carefully thought out beforehand.
