Inspiration for the Hatchery

Our next project for my Revisioning Retail class is to take part in designing a space called the Hatchery.  This space will be a museum/gallery space for students from UNCG to display their work.  The building is in downtown Greensboro, and will have four main spaces.  One, the actual gallery or exhibit space.  Two, a gallery store.  Three, a constulting space to make an appointment with an artist or musician.  And Four, a work space where students can collaborate on projects.  The first step in designing this space was to find inspiration.  Below are a collection of images that I found.  I found it helpful to find images in groups.  Such as most gallery spaces that house artwork are either completly white and little detail or old century baroque and gothic.  Also some museums depending on what the exhibit is, is very modern and uses technology a lot.  I also looked at stores that were kind of plain with pops of color or details.  I didn't find one theme or idea that I liked best so I decided to come up with a collaboration of all sorts of ideas.
