To the south, the older part of the museum exists as large corridors that open and flow through a variety of exhibition spaces.
Should connect the new one and the old one together and link the space together, that is what need to do when re-build a building.

No all museums has library but better to consider when designing.
The ultimate exhibition space may be a large enclosed square in the middle of a field, such as The Menil Collection in Houston.

The cafe itself presents a visual language of contemporary design completely devoid of fuss, but with the fun of orange Jasper Morrison Air chairs.
Put other facility in the building can set up a multiple function and reduce the place for inconvenient, like visitors need to be outside for a cup of coffee or relax after visiting the exhibitions.

From the foyer, the floors are connected by a raw and open staircase that provides cohesion while allowing an abundance of light to flood the foyers and spread inwards to the exhibition spaces.
Abundance light use everywhere, appropriate light will model the outline of the product deeper and extrude the characteristic of them. Should be considered when create a museum or a gallery, even a shop.

Last night in Sydney, the architects of the new MCA fronted up to their critics in an open conversation about the contentious new public building. Did the event deliver an architectural KO, or did the critics – and the audience – pull their punches? David Neustein steps into the ring.
A short summery of the article and clearly let readers know about what the main idea will say, can have one in other project and let the point that we focus on easier to understand.
Passover Seders.
It is a Jewish ritual feast that means the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Well, I think, if the building wasn’t flawed and problematic, why would we be having this debate? Wouldn’t Marshall be delivering a triumphant lecture instead?
Similar to the conversation that we had done in Project 2, to analyzed the main problem of a design and give out a new idea.

Bazalgette’s solution was to construct a series of sewers that would run parallel to the Thames, both north and south of the river, collecting the sewage and ensuring the drinking water that was drawn from the river was clean.
As what I marked before, the cycling culture needs a suitable surrounding to support, and here the river cleaning has been mentioned, so that is how the city plan came step by step.

Glimcher
They support huge malls. http://www.wpglimcher.com/
Self-checkout debuted in 1992, just a few years before the World Wide Web made online shopping widely accessible to everyone. Amazon and eBay, both launched in 1995, taught us to be even more self-sufficient shoppers—at this point, the two Internet giants offer everything you’d find at Wal-Mart and more.
Online shopping has become popular around the world, and Chinese also have Taobao in this area. To sell and advertise product online can be a way to earn more benefit at present. Designers can also consider use different kinds of media, like videos, to make more people learn about their products.
“You lose a lot when you don’t see an array of goods—your ability to compare quality and price, and see exactly what the store has to offer. When you’re shopping online, you’re just relying on anonymous online reviews, and sometimes, other people have bad opinions. I want to be able to buy things that represent me and not what represents someone else and what they want. I think that will be the saddest part if there are no more department stores.”
To compare different works in the same theme help consumers to get better product, and it also means to walk around the shopping mall will help designers to know what is going on in the market, and as what Wood says in the article, to learn about the feelings from the customers.

Victor Gruen
Here is an article that talk about him, and in the article, Trufelman (2015) also argues that the reason for people who wanted to go for a shopping mall instead of going to a shop had a reason of the financial repression at the late 30s, no one had money at that time but no one wanted to go to the shop, and the designers like Gruen had noticed this effect and started to create huge malls. http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-gruen-effect/
In addition to the escalators and new forms of lighting, new department stores featured another marvel of modern technology: central air. The heating, air-conditioning, and bright lights eliminated the need for windows, so in the 1950s and ’60s, stores without windows were built inside new shopping malls.
People still using bright light and strong air conditioning to attract consumers come in their malls and walk around. Products may look better under the light and that always cheer up people to buy them. Also in the days that have high temperature, people will choose to stay in a shopping mall and enjoy free cooling system rather than stay at home.
Raymond Loewy
He is an American who was born in France, and he is an industrial designer, and he created Boeing 307 in 1930s. Here has his official website.

His most famous painting had been destroyed by fired before it publish but then he completed another copy. His paintings have a lot of details and both have impact by classicism.
Here is one of his works called General Ambrose Burnside at Antietam (1863).
The frame “is a tour de force, absolutely the most creative and involved surround for a painting that I have ever seen,” Mr. Wilner, the frame expert, said.
Frame can also become a part of the picture, it seems we need to consider frames when we are doing graphic design.
Washington Crossing the Delaware
The picture is famous because of its design of the American flag and refined structure. However, the light in the picture which come from the left is also interesting, in real history this war happened at night in 1776, and the chiaroscuro of the dusk let the atmosphere feel like a epic. That shows the importance of light use.
The design of the fluttering American flag, for example, was not yet in use
Flags can have different meanings and feelings in different events. Also in Louvre's art gallery, the French flag towards left in the picture of La Liberté guidant le peuple gives a strong feeling of fighting will.
“You can add one inaccuracy to another, but Leutze understood the air of desperation, the small scale of the event and the very large meaning,” Professor Fischer said. “He got all of that right.”
Details in the pictures can show up further more meaning when everything being organized together. Like in this picture they use special highlight in eyes to make the character's expression more clear.
