Museum of Interplay

Year: 2023

Skills: Rhino, AutoCAD, Lumion

Drawing inspiration from a narrative composed within an online library database and enriched by a curated collection of artworks assembled by students in my studio, the design of a Museum situated in downtown Gainesville, Florida, was conceived. The project aims to materialize a unique vision, encapsulating the essence of the stories and artistic expressions that influenced its inception. As per the constraints, the Museum's footprint is confined to an area spanning 40,000 to 50,000 sqft.

Culture murdered on the doorstep of a new museum in the heart of Gainesville. In the solving of the mysterious crime, truth unravels and light is shed. Mrs Stewart, a philosophy teacher from the local high school, discovers involvement of the museum staff in an art trafficing crime. Two worlds in a war, culture and civilisation, unaware of their codependency, ended in bloodshed. Tommy Wild, the featuring artist in the museum, knew of the crimes happening. Talking to the visiting Wall Street broker, who bought Human Dignity at the auction set up by the museum director, Wild tries reasoning him into understanding the situation and leaving the spaces of the museum for culture. In their argument, the two unspokenly aknowledge their codependency.

MURDER IN GAINESVILLE Culture murdered on the doorstep of a new museum in the heart of Gainesville Industry and pleasure reign, Culture’s murder, teacher’s disdain, Humour hides in every vein, Reputation bears the weight of pain. Broker fights to clear his name, Politics and finance the same, Small city state without a claim, Leader’s fame, a rock star’s game. Director’s change with little gain, Workers’ fear ‘cause he’s insane, We play roles, a fiction sustained, Nature’s law forever ingrained. Murderer’s regret, too late to feign, Ornament adorns the dead, in vain, Rebel gardener falls, mortals sustain, Wild and strange, in nature’s chain. Ornaments adorn, resources spent, Artists’ hands, culture’s lament, Rebellion weak, nature’s content, Culture murdered, but life is still meant.
