Frye Art Museum

When the Frye Art Museum was being explained my favorite concept that was mentioned was that they wanted everyone to experience the building the same way and that they believe every one leaves a mark of themselves on the building in a positive way. The Frye Art Museum wanted their building to be an experience for each and every one of their visitors. When you first enter the building you go in through doors that were designed as gates, as you processed inside the entrance’s top is designed like a dome or a sphere in a half, the inside of the whole art museum uses day light to move people throughout the whole inside area. A portion of the museum is based on the golden sections. The floor in the museum is an orange color that is based off the same types of floors you would find in a butcher shop representing meat rendering. The main idea and major focus of the Frye Art Museum is daylight, day light is very critical to this building. The building is all about using daylight in many varieties of the day and to be able to navigate through the space. The Frye Art Museum shows ways that a building can be very intellectual and symbolic.
