UNESCO MATERIAL ART GALLERY & CENTRE Blurring the Lines between Art and Architecture Flanked by massive solid walls, the UNESCO Material Art Gallery & Centre (MAGC) is designed with 4 solid and curved walls juxtapositioning at the visual axis of the Capitol Threatre Site. The subtraction and addition of the dierent geometry of the building resonates with the Capitol Theatre site by presenting itself as a massive sculpture-like building that serves as an art space of interaction and communication among the public, artisans and art works. The swooping
copper roof planes of the MAGC is projected towards one of the multiple axis point on site, drawing visitors in with its simple form of raw geometry that celebrates the vast quality of spaces within. The project focuses on the interaction and participation of the public with the art making process, rather than the moment of its completion. Spaces that are exible, useful, or even useless, can become motivation of creation, intergrating art works, public and the building as a whole.
