SITE PLAN STRUCTURAL BAY UPPER LEVEL LOWER LEVEL MAIN EXHIBITION HALL NORTHEAST VIEW EXHIBITION RECEPTION SOUTHWEST VIEW INTERGRITY. STRENGTH. CONTINUUM. JAMES BOND HAS INSPIRED MOVIE GO-ERS FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. A COMBINATION OF GADGETS EXOTIC LOCALES, MYSTERIOUS BEAUTIES, AND DANGEROUS VILLIANS HAVE CAPTIVATED AUDIENCES SINCE 1962. IT MAY BE SAID JAMES BOND REPRESENTS A CONTINUUM OF POP CULTURE STARTING IN THE PAST AND FLOW ING THROUGH THE FUTURE. THE BELOVED, HATED, FEARED, AND ADORED HERO PROVIDES STORIES OF PERSONAL STRENGTH, UNWAIVERING CHARACTER, AND UNQUESTIONABLE INTEGRITY. AN EXHIBITION HALL DEDICATED TO SUCH A MAN SHOULD EXHIBIT THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE MAIN BUILDING FORM IS ONE FLOWING HALL REPRESENTING THE CONTINUUM. STRENGTH AND STEADFASTNESS ARE REPRESENTED BY STRUCTURE. JAMES BOND ALSO LEADS A SECONDARY LIFE. HE IS A CALCULATING KILLER BUT HE ALSO HAS AN ELUSIVE PERSONAL BACKGROUND. THIS DUALITY IS EXPRESSED VIA THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, A MAIN GLAZING WALL COVERED BY A METAL PERFORATED SCREEN. THE ENVELOPE CONSTRUCTION ALLUDES TO BOND’S TOUGH OUTER PERSONA PROTECTING HIS TRANSPARENT INNER SELF.
