ARTIST IN RESIDENCE STUDIOS

Spring 2016

Instructor: Gregory Spaw

Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF) is an exhibition space in Sharjah consisting of several small buildings. An artist in residence program was to take place in a new building. The building is to be occupied by two artists with a shared gallery space. Because of the qualities of the surrounding buildings, the new building adapted the courtyard space. Two L-shaped structures sit on each other to create a public courtyard in the ground floor, a private courtyard in the top floor, and an intersecting space that overlooks both.
