Task analysis of the visual and no-visual activities is performed with drawings, space dimensions, materials, and activities and/or visual tasks. (Please note that no interior renderings and 3D models were provided at the time when this memo was written) 2.1 Exterior Façade Exterior façade plays a prominent role in composing a building’s identity. Conceived as a stimulating and immersive space to experience art, and a cultural anchor for its evolving neighborhood, the museum of study needs to make its presence in its busy downtown location. A detail study of the neighborhood and further investigation of the architecture will be conducted in order to develop a lighting solution that help to establish the building’s own nighttime identity and at the same time echoes the neighborhood energy.
