ALL ABOUT
ART the garden level. That transparency serves
to blur the lines between the site’s interior
and exterior spaces. The floating volumes
will provide further shade for the garden,
surfaced in custom-made blue mosaic tiles
designed in collaboration with the artist.
A spiraling steel wheelchair ramp
connects the garden to the museum
above, serving as an interface with the
artist’s permanent galleries. The ramp
gradually becomes enclosed as it reaches
the second level, with its southern wall
punctured to create rays of light in the
celestial birth pattern of the artist. The
rest of the museum enclosure will feature
north-facing slits to capture natural light.
