As my first time visiting this gallery, I have to say, I loved the building structure.

The third and fourth floors are devoted to Tadao Ando’s work, with the third floor focusing on the architect’s work on the island of Naoshima and its Benesse Art Site– represented with models of several art hotel structures, museum buildings, and a funicular that scales the side of the extensively re-forested island.

The fourth floor shows models of Ando’s three major American museums, the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and of the Clark Art Institute, in Massachusetts, along with hand-drawn sketches on the wall.

“Devoted to exploring the notion of citizenship today and the potential role of architecture and design in creating spaces for it, Dimensions of Citizenship comprises seven unique installations, each created by a transdisciplinary team of architects and designers.” (wrightwood659.org)
