this building comprehensively presents the national gallery of victoria’s collection of australian art. a total of 7,250m2 of gallery space showcases the unique collection of aboriginal and torres strait islands work on the ground floor, as well as housing the NGV’s historic and modern australian collections on level 1.
contemporary art and galleries for special exhibitions will be concentrated on level 2.
whilst the main collections are curatorially organised in a regulated chronological sequence, the building’s design suggests the means for visitors to inscribe their own experiences of the collection through a shifting matrix of gallery view lines and cross connections.
the matrix allows the iconographic paintings of the collection to provide one level of spatial navigation through the collection while the lateral views of cross connections provide new perspectives into and across the building and the history of australian art.
the simple dual filament composition of the galleries is expressed through the building in the plans and volumes, as well as through the facade and roof.
it allows a direct following of chronology through the building’s inherent figure eight. as this figure always flows back to the centre, it is from here that different routes can be traced.
circulation by lift, escalator and stairs is also focussed at each level on the central residual spaces formed by the x-bar’s embedding within the NGV filaments.
here vertical movement becomes part of the building’s internal drama, as well as continuous outlook to other aspects of the site and the city.
the intra-filament spaces; enclosed, calmer and darker in the north half of the building, and opening onto the landscape and river through a continuously folded glass wall linking all the bridging levels in the south, are an important spatial reference, assisting in providing location within the building.
these spaces are both of rest and refreshment, with internal and external views and multimedia facilities to allow greater enquiry into the collections.
