Today we have a new point of view on the wall as the major element of architecture. Many test and experiment have been made through a extended concept and the expression of material or the function of space, modeling concept have been interpreted as well.
The wall is very important part of Spatial Change and characterize in Architectural Space Organization. The main functional roles of a wall are the provision of shelter to humans from external forces and the structuralrole of support Loaded. Among these, structural problems are crucial in creating a 3 dimensional space, and that space is created by the wall. Also, as the vision of people is greatly influenced by the vertical quality of the wall, the wall is not a factor to be treated lightly in a place with high levels of human activity.
Art museums, trying to reflect the characteristics of modern art, are pursuing more diversity in Architectural Form. Art museums that chose to express themselves through Architectural Form are expanding beyond the works of art using the wall. Thus, Not only through the outer wall but also through changes in structure, art museums are pursuing changes in vision and circulation.
Regardless, the walls in an art museum are extremely important. The most commonly used Exhibition Presentation Methods is through the use of wall and the importance that walls play in the scenes will still be major despite future changes in space. However, there is a lack of organized material on the wall’s means or wall’s Hierarchy of art museum. This paper aims to analyze and organize the characteristics of wall composition in exhibition space. Thus, I analyzed the selected foreign art museums (10 art museums that mainly displayed Paintings) and the following was the result.
The characteristics of a wall can be split largely into two categories: ‘Wall’s personality for Peculiarity of vision’ and ‘Wall’s personality forPeculiarity of circulation.’ More specifically, they can be divided into pleomorphism, territoriality, visibility, openness, directionality, connectivity, and continuity.
Among those, pleomorphism is influenced by the art museums overall design and theme. This is because the walls that are the display background of paintings are most commonly wall. Art museums strive to change the shape through changes in color and diagonal lines to induce interest.
A wall’s territoriality is a factor influenced by volume, and large territoriality means that at a glance the volume of the walls is large. The fact that there are a lot of walls indicates that there is a large area to display artwork but also that the actual area of the museum is reduced. This influences openness, with a large number of walls tending to create closing. A closing space raises concentration on the display but makes difficult awareness of the space, decreasing the audience.
Visibility and connectivity are characteristics of the relationship with not only the gallery but other neighboring rooms. Visibility represents the easiness of recognizing the direction through openings. Depending on the level of awareness, induce of circulation and creating interest is possible. On the other hand, connectivity, through irregular or rhythmic space experience, plays a major influence on the tired-rate of exhibition by creating interestor anticipation about the displays to follow. The varying space experience prevents the audience from being bored, as they might have from rooms consisting of the same shape and size.
Directionality indicates the direction implied by the formation of the walls or the impression given and is influenced greatly by the gallery’s display cabinets, the slenderness ratio of the walls, and the location of the openings.
The level of directionality depends on the location of the opening. When the opening is opposite of the direction of the visitor’s circulation, the room is deep and directionality is low. On the other hand, if it falls in line with that direction, directionality is high.
Lastly, the continuity of walls influences the continuity of the display. This is because it composition continuously the flow and route of the view. However, a lengthy wall does not always ensure large continuity. As the standard space is created by not just one wall but all surrounding walls, materially it may be a single wall but is perceived only as a segment.
This study was concentrated on The Peculiarity of Display Wall Composition in Exhibition Space. As the study was on only one of the Architectural Space Composition’s three factors, excluding the floor and ceiling, it is limited when examining the overall characteristics. Also, the analysis was based on the standard gallery; art museums composed of a combination of Unit Space will be more complex. Following research should be on whether these characteristics are maintained throughout the entire art museum; if they are changed, research should be done on what factors are the reason. However, defining the correlation between indexes that used to be the standard of analysis, I propose that research on the hierarchy of walls should be proceeding.
