What a delight to photograph the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate last month. The gallery is located on the seafront, previously a car park, where a guesthouse frequented by Turner once stood. David Chipperfield Architects designed the gallery to maximise both the dramatic setting between sea and land and the extraordinary light conditions unique to this area that inspired Turner well over a century ago. It is composed of six identical crystalline volumes with monopitched roofs providing north light to the gallery spaces and revealing daily and seasonal light changes. Turner Contemporary offers spectacular views to the sea, connecting visitors to the broader landscape whilst encouraging a sense of participation in the community.
