The two floor plans illustrate the current layout of an art gallery and the proposed changes for its redevelopment. Overall, the gallery is expected to undergo a major transformation with the inclusion of new facilities, the removal of temporary areas, and the expansion of exhibition spaces.
In the existing arrangement, the central part of the gallery is occupied by a permanent exhibition space. To the right of this lies a temporary exhibition area, followed by a lobby and an office near the main entrance. The left-hand section of the building is currently unused and not part of the gallery.
The proposed redevelopment introduces several significant modifications. The permanent exhibition space will remain at the centre, but the temporary exhibition area will be replaced by an education zone and a store/plant room, while the lobby is reduced in size and the office is removed entirely. On the opposite side, the previously unused area will be incorporated into the gallery, providing both a special exhibition space and an exhibition store.
In summary, the redevelopment plan creates a more functional and diverse layout. By integrating the unused section and reallocating existing spaces, the gallery will gain educational facilities, storage, and dedicated exhibition areas, while discontinuing the temporary exhibition space.
