Another such concept is derived from Charles Garnier's "Opera". He believed that the entire experience of the Opera is not limited to the show itself. It begins from the moment you begin to dress for the occasion. Consequently, the experience continues as you arrive to the Opera building, before even entering. For this to work, he designed the building, so that it is appropriate for the occasion (highly ornamental, lavish, etc).
I wanted to re-create a similar experience with my art gallery, in the sense that one's experience of art begins before entering the gallery. I wanted the gallery to be an art piece in itself, with an overall exterior suggesting the interior function.
