Student’s award-winning project shines in senior exhibition

Matthew Wang ’10, one of the 20 students artists participated in the exhibition of studio art majors’ culminating works, redesigned the Pageant Soloveev gallery in Philadelphia for his senior thesis.

Wang’s honors thesis project on display contains a proposed floor plan sketch, building model and digital animation for a renovated art gallery.

Wang created an attractive and modern building design, with floor-to-ceiling windows on three of the gallery’s four floors, as well as a spiral staircase connecting the third floor’s covered balcony to a rooftop deck. A giant “607” and “Pageant Soloveev” for the gallery’s address and name, respectively, draws the eye to the front wall of the building.

Wang used Google’s Sketchup modeling program for digital animation in order to give an impressive floor-by-floor composition of how the building would actually look in addition to where all the rooms would be.
