The Butterfly Arts Centre uses transformative and kinetic architecture to adapt to all exhibit pressures in addition to transforming the surrounding site.

The centre adjusts its form, volume, and light values to accomidate diverse exhibit demands. Most art galleries have a very static form and use partitions to transform the space. This project intends to transform the building entirely for each exhibit type and need.

The exterior walls become interior partitions, blurring the boundry between inside and out. This a lows artists to interact with the communtiy if needed. The end walls compress the space, adapting the exhibits square foot age. The roof height is adjust able, responding to specific height requirements. The clerestories can be exposed or covered, altering light values. Further the four exhibits are completely distinct due to the fluid roof form, creating roof height variety. The exhibits are all mounted on tracks, allowing them to glide across the site.
