At
the entry sequence, there was an oculus on the hemispherical ceiling which
allows the daylight to come through. It reminded me of the pantheon in Rome
which also has an oculus on its ceiling. The daylight in Frye Art Museum are
important, so people there really put efforts on this part. When I wondering
around in the museum, the daylights came from different angles in different
ways. The lights themselves were actually art and they made my visiting
experience more enjoyable and meaningful. In term of the interior form, the
overall layout is quite common. It was made up with a lot of straight lines.
However, there were narrow indentations located low on walls. In my opinions, I
think the purpose of indentations was to add a value of reality. A whole flat,
smooth and white wall may easily make eyes get tired. The use of daylight might
also have the same purpose from my perspective. The important aspects of human
interactions with that built space could be people wondering around and
standing in front of the artworks to further observe them or to take photos of
them. People may also share insights and thoughts with each other of a piece of
artwork. In generally, the museum was kind of small but the feelings when I
stayed there were enormous.
