ART GALLERY
Location: 18 W Center St, Fayetteville, AR 72701
Description: This architectural challenge tasks students with the adaptive reuse and structural unification of two conjoining buildings to house a premier private art collection. By integrating tactile exhibits, immersive digital layers, and a ground-floor transparency that engages with the local Farmer’s Market and city life, students must design a sanctuary for high art that remains intentionally accessible and interactive for visitors of all ages. Concept: This gallery design centers on the principles of adaptive reuse, transforming a historic structure into a contemporary cultural destination by weaving together traditional gallery layouts with bold, sculptural interventions. The architectural narrative is defined by major curves that slice through the longitudinal section, creating fluid vertical connections and dynamic pockets for visitors to gather amongst artwork. By prioritizing the integration of natural light through specialized roof monitors and large-scale openings, the design elevates the historic shell, blending the familiarity of an established gallery sequence with a modern, sculpted spatial experience
