Design of Portrait Island Portrait Island is designed as a singular and monumental inclined plane - that is cut and formed - to create a series of unique exhibition environments. The design of Portrait Island is informed by the idea of inverting the relationship between a monument and its surrounding landscape. Here the landscape becomes the monument. This inverting allows the art works of Portrait Island to read an as experiential landscape that responds – by contrast or assimilation – to the gradient of the slope. The design of Portrait Island reflects a varied approach to spatial ecologies with the resultant exhibition spaces ranging from traditional exhibition types of black or white walled spaces, to a series open ended environmental features: plateaus, niches, ruins and sunken spaces.
