The wing's primarily below-grade position produces raw distinguishes of night and also illumination, which the designers at MILLIu00d8NS attended to by launching reflective as well as refractive products. A main element of the design is actually a collection of two-story glass towers that bring reprimand the space while property the porcelains selection. These open-shelf high rises allow guests to make use of the ceramics, breaking down the traditional divide between art and also public communication. A key theoretical concentration of the redesign was actually to diffuse the rigid branch between the gallery's social exhibit rooms (Face of Home) and its own personal, functional rooms (Back of Residence).
