Inspiration

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan

The British Museum in London

Both these very famous buildings inspired my design. I was fascinated with the idea of blurring what is internal and external space. These buildings are compsed with classical ornamentation and look like the facades on a grand courtyard yet interestingly enough the space is actually internal as it is covered by large glass rooves. The large rooves reinforce the idea on open air as they allow the blue sky to dominate and filter in natural light into the building.
