Exhibition Space
in the Crystal at the
Royal Ontario Museum
While working for the Harriri Pontarini Architects my project, for the exhibition space within the Roloff Beny Gallery, was selected for realization.
Royal Ontario Museum concluded that my proposal of creating semi enclosed spaces within the largest space of the Crystal designed by Daniel Libeskind was the best design out of all other proposals.
My concept was to create, with the help of angled, sloping walls of different heights, a variety of smaller but flexible display spaces. My design harmonized well with the rest of Libeskind’s structure and created new possibilities for exhibitions. The construction was completed in 2009. The structures I designed were first used to house the Vanity Fair Portraits exhibition that opened September 26th.
