Completion date: March 2008

Function:

Inhotim Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located in a village near the capital of Minas Gerais state. The museum is composed of pavilions spread out across a 35 hectare landscaped park. The Galeria Adriana Varejão pavilion was commissioned to house a sculpture and polyptych by Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão. Visitors move through the building following a spiral path that leads them between two levels of the park. The building was conceived as a spiral path that connects two different levels of the park. The path contracts and expands as you pass through the building to accommodate various types of exhibition spaces, which culminate within the concrete block partially inserted in the hillside.
