New media require new possibilities of their presentation. The existing gallery spaces are purified and re-organized into parallel sections. In the courtyard building, their horizontal arrangement shifts into a vertical addition formed by the “containers“. Through the glass ceiling and fissures in the overlapping of the containers, natural light makes its way inside. Sliding ceiling panels of glass and steel grids define the bottoms of the containers. Their structure filters the light from above into subtler tones and interferences, while their re-arrangement can allow the gallery space to be divided according to the needs of various exhibitions.
