Concept

Creating a gallery for graffiti art should consider the nature of the art that is going to be exhibited. Being a street art, graffiti belong to the urban context and should not be extracted from it. The art gallery should bring the atmosphere of the street inside and blend with it. Semi transparent and thin walls are to be used in order to create the link between inside and outside, letting the light and the noise to penetrate the building. The plan should be simple and intuitive, but in the same time it should control the movement, just as a street does; there should be directionality and certain pattern just as in urban planning. The gallery is providing not only exhibition space, but also a workshop to stimulate local artists.
