Fig 5 : Section Elevation of the building

The National Portrait Gallery is sited in the Parliamentary Triangle.It responds to its site by connecting key vistas , levels and alignments around the precint.It has followed Griffins plan with Five Fingers of Space which is arranged perpendicular to the Land Axis and the Golden Section creating a harmonious arrangement in correspondence to the surrounding.

The design of the building is built to creating a rich experience for visitors and adding a variety of spaces to galleries and visitor facilities which are unique to Canberra.It also connects the both the visitors and passer-bys with building and landscape.The main design is inspired by Vitruvian notion of proportion of building to be corresponding to that of a person. 6.

NATIONAL P RTRAIT GALLERY 1 . SITE


The building is in the Canberra Parliamentry Triangle site.It responds to site by using the buildings geometry to connect with key vistas and alignments around the precint. The building is embedded into the landscape so as not to not tower block the Questacon building and National Library of Australia .This gives the visitors the ability to see through the building to the open transparents landscape and even surrounding trees shade the building

Fig 17 : Five Fingers Space

The building is a series of five bays , each more than 70m long , are arranged perpendicular to the land axis referring to Walter Burley Griffins early conecepts for National Capital. The building sitting in the landscape and relationship to its neighbours , its external form , the internal spaces and individual components and details are all based on the Golden Section. It joins the High Court as the Gallery as the defining Arts and Civic Campus.The 45 degrees angles of the High Court intersect with its own 90 and 180 degrees geometries informs the shared landscape deisgn. 14.

NATIONAL P RTRAIT GALLERY 2 . DESIGN


The desig is inspired by notion that the proportion of a building should correspond to that of a person.It has a harmonious relationship between the visitor , space , material , light and art. The spaces are defined by concrete walls , and each space enjoys natural light from translucent glazed clerestory windows , reducing need for artificial lighting. The detailing of crafting and materials , both natural and manufactured have made the character of building bold and intimate. The detailing of crafting and materials , both natural and manufactured have made the character of building bold and intimate. The circulation gallery ceilings are made from Spotted Gum half round rods fixed to a simple suspended steel frame.This motif is through out the building ,providing a consistent grain and proportion. There are glazed walls at either end for opportunities to observe the landscape to west or east. The spaces pace the visitor experience and provide rest and access points.

3. Sensuality
The experience provided in this structure is a memorable one with its latest technologies of light including the natural sunlighe space. ht and ventilationopening.The tall sunfulled lobby is centralized in the heart of the site and incorporates the porte oochere , circulation stairs , escalators and bridges which focus on the theatre of people moving through. Limestone lobby floors and walls create feelings of space and light; while extensive use of timber combined with plush fabrics provide a luxurious feel.The strength of the scheme resides in its urbanism in the driveway/courtyard/ foyer sequence, and in the remaking of Pitt and George Streets with new street walls and activities that are robust, elegant, almost seamless extensions of the urban scene

4. Design
There is a clear identification of the functional parts of the development ( ex . Hotel , Public , Private , Commercial n Car park).It has maximised the use of being in a prime location and being able to look from inside the building outside .Keeping the building alive is the movement and experience given to the visitors and passer bys from in , out and through the building.It has created a whole new public space and still contains its contemporary architecture in sympathy to its scale , texture and matrials of the precint.Adds an abundance of space, natural light and capacity to the existing structure and was developed in sympathy with the grain, texture, scale and materials of the Town Hall and Queen Victoria Building heritage precinct. Details of Plan and section are as shown in next page.
