The concept of this gallery project is rooted in the materiality and physical behavior of metal.

Leveraging the ductility of metal, I developed a twisted spatial prototype that is structurally and spatially distinctive. Structurally, the prototype connects a vertical wall and a horizontal floor slab. While a single twisted unit lacks stability on its own, two intertwined units form a highly stable structural system—demonstrating strength through interdependence.

Spatially, the intertwining of prototypes in both horizontal and vertical directions generates a variety of spatial conditions. These configurations produce spaces with diverse scales, proportions, and light qualities—ranging from open and illuminated to enclosed and dim. This range creates a rich spatial experience, capable of accommodating various exhibition needs. Additionally, the modular and repeatable nature of the prototype allows for future expansion and adaptability.

The site is located along the waterfront in Lower Manhattan, where the gallery's flowing, horizontal form harmonizes with the movement of the adjacent Hudson River—blurring the boundary between built space and natural flow.
