Criteria

Description
Visiting the art museum is an experience of individual mindfulness with movement constrained through narrow corridors. Protruding spaces that hold collections are to be experienced each with their own unique delegated destination. The isolation of each extruded collection gives each collection its standalone importance. The circulation is emphasized with snaking corridors and stairs that embody a highly-orchestrated experience by the museum visitors.
