In the library was transferred to a new Auckland Public Library building, and the gallery gained sole occupancy of the original structure. This was granted for the newly developed building which opened to the public on the 3rd of September Architects for the new space sought to complement the existing heritage galleries while integrating fresh design, to create a building to serve not only as an exhibition space but also as a social venue, and to establish fluid dialogue with the adjacent park and surrounding urban area.
The culturally significant building was restored and seamlessly incorporated into the new gallery complex. Its design draws inspiration from the organic forms of the surrounding landscape as well as the architectural order and character of the heritage buildings.
The ceilings of the canopies are assembled from carefully selected kauri, profiled into precise geometric patterns and supported on slender and tapering shafts. The unique character of the heritage building has thus been strengthened through the clear geometric relation to and contrast with these new works.
The new building extension doubles the public exhibition areas, provides extensive basement storage and support areas, and offers a complete redesign of adjacent areas of Albert Park. Cultured Conversations with Juliana Engberg Audio.
