Gallery
Architectural design and curation of gallery spaces, museums, and exhibition venues.
Galleries serve as cultural institutions that shape how communities experience art and design. This topic explores the architectural strategies behind creating spaces that house collections, facilitate exhibitions, and engage the public.
The community examines gallery design across scales and contexts, from adaptive reuse projects converting historic buildings into exhibition spaces to purpose-built structures like petal-form pavilions and social production centers. Work ranges from major institutions like Bharat Bhavan to smaller annexes and public-facing art venues that integrate into urban environments.
