Art Gallery For Urban Artists

Premier University, Chittagong.

Project idea

The art gallery design is inspired by the interconnected nature of a spider web, symbolizing the deep relationship between humans and art.

Project description

Just as a web binds different elements together, this gallery fosters a strong emotional and intellectual connection between visitors and the artwork. The aim is to create an engaging space where people feel drawn into the artistic experience, much like how a spider web captures and holds.
