IT MAY BE SAID JAMES BOND REPRESENTS ACONTINUUM OF POP CULTURE STARTING IN THEPAST AND FLOW ING THROUGH THE FUTURE. THEBELOVED, HATED, FEARED, AND ADORED HERO PROVIDES STORIES OF PERSONAL STRENGTH,UNWAIVERING CHARACTER, AND UNQUESTIONABLEINTEGRITY.

AN EXHIBITION HALL DEDICATED TO SUCH A MANSHOULD EXHIBIT THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS ASMENTIONED ABOVE. THE MAIN BUILDING FORMIS ONE FLOWING HALL REPRESENTING THE CONTINUUM.STRENGTH AND STEADFASTNESS ARE REPRESENTED BY STRUCTURE.

JAMES BOND ALSO LEADS A SECONDARY LIFE. HE IS ACALCULATING KILLER BUT HE ALSO HAS AN ELUSIVE PERSONAL BACKGROUND. THIS DUALITY IS EXPRESSEDVIA THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, A MAIN GLAZING WALL COVERED BY A METAL PERFORATED SCREEN. THE ENVELOPECONSTRUCTION ALLUDES TO BOND’S TOUGH OUTERPERSONA PROTECTING HIS TRANSPARENT INNER SELF.
