The first part is like a gallery, receiving natural light, with a panoramic view towards north and a solid wall on which to place artworks; the exhibition space at the opposite end has the same proportions as the gallery, but rotated by 90°. Hence the measurement of the plan of the first space becomes the height of the second, and the height of the first is transformed into the horizontal width of the ‘vertical’ gallery, without openings and lit by artificial means. In the middle, as a sculptural joint, the space of the twist connects the two exhibition spaces that face each other, in keeping with the design philosophy of the Twist.
