Llandaff: Fine Art Gallery

Studio tutors: Aled Davies, Rhian Thomas

“Architecture is more to do with making frames than painting pictures, more a matter of providing an accompaniment to life than the dance itself. Certainly it is within the capacity of architecture to frame ‘pictures’ — as the rectangle of a window frames a view, or a doorway the figure of a person”.

Simon Unwin, ‘Architecture as Making Frames’, in Analysing Architecture (London; New York: Routledge, 2014)
This studio designed a contemporary art gallery. The programme for the facility focussed on spaces that create the ideal environment for the interaction of people, art and the specifics of the place in which they are situated.

The wider theme of this project was ‘framing’… exploring the idea that architecture is primarily a matter of framing life: people, objects, views, activities, sounds, moods… and making ‘places’ for them.
