LIVERPOOL MUSEUM & ARCHITECTURE OF LIVERPOOL

Whilst visiting the Tate Gallery and I decided to take a walk over to The Museum of Liverpool to see what inspiration I could find.

What struck me first was the design of the building, particularly the grand circular staircase which is central to the building.

"The Museum of Liverpool was the largest newly-built national museum in the UK for more than 100 years. Beneath its stone cladding is a complex steel frame which allows large column-free spaces. This is perfect for creating flexible displays within the galleries." (Liverpool Museums, 2020)

• Curved, white, clean, smooth shapes.

• Could I incorporate these shapes into my designs?

Following my visit to The Museum of Liverpool, I took a walk around the business district. Since the mid- 2000's many new building and redevelopment projects have taken place which has created a strong contrast between old and new. This is something I am interested in incorporating in my work.
