Street Art Museum - Bristol

This project was a design for a museum and gallery in Bristol celebrating street art. The main challenges were creating a large scale building that responded to its urban context and displaying the street art indoors without it feeling contrieved. I designed two main halls that responded to the differing geometries of the river and the surrounding buildings (4). I zoned the areas of public interest i.e. cafe, workshop and external exhibition areas to create a public riverside walkway around the building (3). The user circulates through two galleries that are deliberately contrasting (2). The first employs an open circulation around large masonry planes. These planes display art, act structurally and pierce the floor and roof creating voids and roof lights (5). The second gallery is linear, circulating down a long ramp around a single masonry plane (6).
