25~8 Gallery Agenda
The future society will be a society of 24x7 data access. However, this information can hardly be split into clearly defined fields. Innovations develop within interspaces, within indistinctness, within the overlapping and hybridising. Questions regarding the future will be decided within transitional fields situated between technology, media and consumers.
Morphology of form, infiltration, permutation, spontaneity, transmission and transient variables have an affect on architecture. The resulting architecture is characterised by the interactions, fusion and mutation of different entities constituting a new shape.
The concept of the design of the new gallery is based on the ideology of redefining the meaning of gallery in the 21st century. The 25~8 gallery dies not consider itself as an exclusive temple for the intellectual bourgeoisie but as a public hub providing access to the media innovations of our age.
Stimulating a direct and active use, it is not only a gallery site but also a venue in the city. The architecture hybridises the typology of a gallery with the typology of an urban public space.
