__________________________

I wandered about this building on my first few site visits before actually going into the gallery.  Its siting and detailing makes it feel very infrastructural and indeed very much of a sort of place to be wandered with its ample elevated walkways.  The massing appears somewhat haphazard, but this also lends the complex a more sculptural quality.
