The Gallery of Conflict - Sotheby's Auction House

The auction house is a place of exclusivity and luxury. A neoclassical building is chosen to house a Museum and Auction House by Sotheby's. However, instead of building a new experience in the old building, the intervention is designed to experience the building itself in a new way. Being no less than artwork itself, the building is reinterpreted to modernise the experience of neoclassism - which comes from the chaos created in the orderly, a sense of conflict in the duality of the material and its role in running the program itself.
