London light
Article Abstract:
The new Sackler Galleries at London's Royal Academy of Arts was redesigned by Sir Norman Foster. The exhibition area has been converted into a light, accessible space with barrel-vaulted ceilings and electronically-controlled louvres to manage the lighting. The gap between the original Burlington House and the main galleries which made the Sackler Galleries inaccessible has been remedied with an oval glass elevator and a glass staircase.
