Dulwich Picture Gallery Pavilion

Dulwich Picture Gallery Pavilion

Gallery Launches Open-Call to Architects for 2019 Dulwich Pavilion

Our Idea was to turn something old into something new and extremely fantastic.

Architecture of the old Dulwich Picture Gallery Building. About 207 years.

“The architect Sir John Soane ultimately created a building with simplified forms that subtly alluded to the Classical style in a series of vertical brick projections, a type of pilaster, on the wings.” (THE STORY of the architecture of Dullwich Picture Gallery. Available in <https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/about/our-architecture/>. Acess on: 05 june. 2018.)

FREE SPACE, FREE MIND, FREE BODY

NO WALLS AND DOORS: Free the space.

THE PAVILION WILL BE GLASS AND COLUMNS THAT SUPPORT THE CEILING LAYERS THAT MAKE A MULTIFACETED SURFACE

The new design idea for a building that uses the old precepts of architecture, but turns the environment into a new image.

We incorporated the sense of the arches of classical architecture into our pavilion as we wanted an affective and visual memory in the design.

We used some elements of the old architecture of the place, like the arches that support the building. But now, we use the interlocking arches with flat surfaces of the glass panels.

Our aim was to transform the image of art gallery into something palpable and memorable, where new artists can feel at home. New artists have the need for new thoughts being renewed at all times, why not do so in an environment conducive to new ideas? An environment where people can be free, like today’s architecture.
