Image Graphic Design of Tittot Glass Art Museum by Obra Architects. The Tittot Glass Art Museum is a narration in space of the story of Tittot and the universal significance of glass art. The construction of the museum is an important moment defining Tittot in the collective imagination as a crucial presence in the international glass art community.

The project finds its narrative substance in the very ethos of Glass Art, coalescing as another recognizable attribute of Tittot, Taipei and Taiwan while capturing the deep and enduring potential of the institution’s cultural significance. Glass and Architecture share a capacity to capture light in space.

In glass such capacity is experienced with the exacting purity of an arrested liquid, wrapping itself in diaphanous diffraction and translucent reflections that suggest multidimensional mysteries of space. In the Tittot Museum, sunlight entering through circular openings on the roof of the building push light wells deep into the structure reaching every exhibition space.

Contained within etched cylindrical glass lanterns, these shafts of light define the interior spaces of exhibition and when intersected by an exterior wall reveal fractures where the force of the light pushing to enter, seems to bend the glass into the building. Like air bubbles trapped in a cast of glass, the lanterns sparkle with captured light through the spaces of the galleries implanting guiding markers in the journeys through the exhibits.

Upon entering the museum, the tall space of the Lobby mediates between city and Art, acting as a prologue to collections and exhibits. Surrounded by the museum Gift Shop, the Restaurant and Café, the Banquet Space / Fashion Gallery and by the Auditorium and Demonstration Areas, this suite of spaces will function as a building within a building, providing the capability of staying open late into the night while the galleries are closed.

In Taipei, famed for its late night vitality, such arrangement promises to forge a strong link between the life of the museum and the life of the city.
