Material and its Properties

The exhibition spaces are contained within this angular volume. It is clad in panels of engineered timber that help to insulate the collections and maintain the consistent climate they require. The exposed grain of the outer veneer layer introduces a natural surface that softens the otherwise geometric and futuristic form.
