Architecture shapes our lives. It provides shelter, creates identity, and influences our perception. It is a stage for human interaction and a scale against which individuals can reflect on the self. It invisibly records everything that happens within its walls. It retains the good and the incomprehensible in equal measure.

When architecture becomes a space for art, a multi-layered process of exchange is set in motion. Works of art that emerge from thinking about the world encounter specific ideas about functional proportions, materiality, and design. When historical architecture becomes a space for art, it is almost impossible to separate the content of the exhibited works from the history and narrative of their surroundings. The architecture takes on a meaning that goes beyond its spatial function.
