The figurative void serves both as an entrance point of the museum and as an intersection between the different functions of the Arquipélago itself: a museum, a black box, and a workshop for artists. The Azorean Spectrum Range utilizes textiles to manipulate the context of the space with subtle elements such as shadows, colour, and textures. The work infuses the central courtyard with an intimate flair that invites the public to sit and observe. The long structure gradually transforms from one colour to another, changing in appearance as visitors move across the space, creating a new perception of the square’s scale.
