Design choose for the gallery were taken from the existing 5 museums on the island. Architect David Shipler field conceived the 20 year long project including famously giving the galleries neighbor the noise museum or new museum a new lease of life. From the jane seeman central hub visitors will have underground connections to museums on the island. We will be able to go right into the noise museum. In the future you also be able to go left into the park so. This will become part of a route. Which allows you. To come. Into this level go through the program and come back out even on the other novels there is a sort of you know. Interchange. Connection. The building sprawling outdoor terrace and indoor Entrance Hall off of visitors a place to linger. The foyer is flooded with light thanks to floor to ceiling windows. The gallery also boasts a 300. 00 seat auditorium and a lavish museum shop outfitted entirely in french walmart. The 1st show in the galleries temporary exhibition space will commemorate the buildings namesake jewish berlin patron and art collector james seaman. The new gateway to berlins cultural acropolis is a core component of a master plan for the island devised by david chipperfield. And approved by the city in 1909 the main purpose of the gallery is servicing and connecting of beyond this it also gives the island a central focus the james seaman gallery a dazzling you attraction on the unesco World Heritage site museum island. Lets take up the point of view nasco World Heritage site i mean obviously you would restrictions were in the area where you could build but was there also restrictions because of unesco did they have to approve your plans they didnt have to technically approve but they certainly could have made it more difficult if they werent happy with that. I think the question was was yes it was restrictive sight physically restrictive in terms of being bounded by the by the cannot physically difficult because of that the water table but the ground conditions there are absolutely awful we were building you need i mean reminders will be building in the river when we were for a few years but also as you say the historical restrictions that the importance of the surrounding buildings i mean we were coming on to a very. Predetermined stage. Of the signal graffiti that credible signal graffiti of the 19th century. Museums was clear the something we had to think about very very seriously and therefore the fitting into this preexisting architecture is clearly one of the biggest costs and also i mean also another. It seems like difficult to us has to fulfill many titles i mean its not just a Visitors Center it is has to be many things. I think thats one of the that was one of the exciting and difficult things of the project was to understand what it was is not another museum its a collection of different. Concerns and requirements that the museum on the needs primarily its an orientation in the Assembly Place for the larger visitor groups but its also a connector if it connects you into the sort of museum tour and thats very much directed to expanding visitor. Groups and along with the facilities of bathrooms cloakrooms coffee shop and things like that. But as well as that i think the project the building. Is a bridge to the city in a big permanent collections work terribly well for tourists but they dont always appeal to the citizen. If you see enough to teach you not necessary going to go back next sunday as well are to the person or to however much you love them. So the jameson gallery has is used to ordinances dealing with one as the master of the other is the city and so the the building contains changing exhibition space for the 1st time museum on the recovery the purpose built in that of course appeals to broaden his because thats a very teaching exhibition and just as importantly the auditorium which is a place where there will be lectures and events and films i want to ask you about i mean your other great. Book your famous full sun in this city is the noise museum as well which was groundbreaking what i mean the press this went on for. So much controversy about it and i just wondered that there it was weve got pictures of it i think im mixing the old with the new as you did you prove them all wrong it was a triumph you won the e. U. Prize for contemporary architecture as well did you have a doubt chill vision of that. With ever any doubts you know mind. I dont know what we certainly want to read. As a team you know this was. A complex project i think the concept was clear what we wanted to try and do. I would admit that we didnt quite know how to do it but i think one of the things that was really instrumental in that project was the the tactic of collaboration. You couldnt do a project like rabbit with so many complicated decision. So many fine decisions. Without having a very. Sort of combined effort between the planners the architects the clients the museums the i mean this i would say for me the triumph was was in that corporation and the bond the real and the the way of working we developed and i think that was really critical and i would say well it is proven its proved worth while to for the jamesy mungana as well im sure weve run out of time but thank you so much for coming in we wish you all the best with the gallery and please keep coming back to doing new projects david shift thank you very much.
