The maps give information on the transformation the ground floor of an art gallery has undergone between 2015 and the present day. Overall, we can see that there has been a removal of one of the exhibitions, with new amenities in its place. Meanwhile, a few facilities have also been shifted around.  

The large exhibition room directly to the left of the entrance hall has been replaced by a temporary exhibition and children’s area. The receptionist table, meanwhile, has also been moved closer to the entrance compared to where it was in 2015, now sitting next to the temporary exhibition. Additionally, the gallery office and cafe have also been dismantled, with a vending machine and gallery shop taking their place. The stairs have been moved slightly leftward, with the space on its right being made available for a lift. Lastly, the three exhibition rooms that occupy the whole right side of the building have remained unchanged from what they were in 2015.

The maps illustrate the changes that the ground floor of an art gallery has undergone from 2015 to today.

Overall, the art gallery has been modernized to include more facilities to cater for its visitors. The only parts that have remained unchanged are the entrance hall and the three exhibition rooms on the right-hand side.

The entrance is located at the southern side of the layout. Walking past the entrance, visitors should see an entrance hall that leads to a reception desk, which lies at the very centre of the gallery. This reception desk used to be further up north, towards the far end of the gallery. To the north of the reception desk are the stairs, which now have been slightly moved to the left to make room for a new lift on the right. It is interesting to note that the three exhibition rooms to the right of the ground floor remain the same both in size and location.

On the left of the art gallery ground floor, there used to be exhibition room number 4 in 2015. However, this room has been separated into two different rooms now, with one being the children’s area and the other (being) a temporary exhibition. Adjacent to the present-day exhibition was once a gallery office, which has been torn down to free up space for a vending machine, where visitors can pick up snack or a drink. The left-hand corner coffee shop to the end of the gallery has also been converted into a smaller shop for people to buy gallery souvenirs.

Overall, the building has undergone several changes internally, with the addition of several new rooms and facilities, and access for the disabled.

In 2005, the gallery contained four exhibition rooms, a gallery office, and a cafe. Exhibition rooms 1, 2, and 3 have remained unchanged, however Exhibition room 4 has now been split into a children’s area, and a temporary exhibition room. The gallery office previously located behind Exhibition room 4 has now been removed and the space opened up to become a part of the entrance hall area.

Previously, a cafe was located to the left of the stairs, but has now been replaced with a gallery shop, however the space is much smaller now. A new vending machine facility has been placed outside the gallery shop where the gallery office used to be. The reception desk has been moved closer to the front of the entrance hall, and new disabled access facilities have been added, including a wheelchair ramp at the front of the building and a lift located next to the stairs.

The maps depict modifications to the ground floor of an unspecified art gallery from 2015 to the present day. Overall, the ground floor underwent a complete transformation with various facilities being relocated, replaced or added.

Between 2015 and the present day, the reception desk was relocated to a position where it is closer to the entrance. The hall was further expanded to the right-hand side of the ground floor, taking up the space where there once was a gallery office. There is now a lift adjacent to the former stairs, and the café on the top left corner of the ground floor was converted into a gallery shop with a vending machine located just outside.

Another major change to the area was the re-arrangement of the exhibition rooms. The exhibition room 4 on the left-hand side of the room was divided into a temporary one and an area for children, while the three exhibition rooms on the right-hand side remain unchanged. The final change made to the layout of the ground floor is the additional ramp for wheelchairs, which makes the gallery become more accessible to the disabled.

In general, the main changes have been the use of the west side for other purposes and the addition of some new facilities.

The entrance remains the same at the middle of the southern wall, and there is a new ramp for wheelchairs outside the establishment at present. The lobby has been expanded with the extra space now occupying the site of the initial gallery office. The reception area has been relocated to the central part of the art gallery, and a new elevator now exists to the right of the stairs, which have been moved a little to the west.

The café at the top left corner of the floor plan has been remodelled to become a gallery shop, and a vending machine has appeared alongside its southern wall. In the place of exhibition room 4, which has been removed, are currently a temporary exhibition space and an area for children. The east side of the art gallery remains unchanged with three separate exhibition rooms 1,2,3 aligned in a south-north direction.

The floor plans give information on the changes made to a gallery between 2005 and the present day. Overall, most of the changes are confined to the left side of the floor while the right side remains the same.

The doorsteps of the entrance witnessed an alteration, where a ramp for wheelchair users was added alongside the steps. In the middle of the room, there is now a reception desk which in 2005 had been placed further northwest of the present position, facing the left corner of the room. The current desk is also an oval one, replacing the old rectangular desk. In the upper left corner of the room, a former cafe and shop is now replaced by a gallery shop, with three vending machines installed in front. Meanwhile, an area for temporary exhibitions, as well as an interactive children’s play area, has been built in place of exhibition 4. Further, the stairs to the upper floor have been made smaller and are now fitted with a lift next to them. Finally, the three exhibition rooms on the right of the room remained unchanged.

Sample 7:

The maps reveal some changes taking place to the layout of an art gallery’s ground floor between 2005 and the present day.

In general, while the eastern part of the gallery has remained more or less intact over time, the opposite side has undergone significant transformations, with the whole area becoming more accessible for the disabled.

Originally, the gallery was designed merely for its exhibition purpose and visitors could enter the hall through the entrance in the south of the building. Inside the hall, there was a reception desk to welcome visitors, which led to a staircase in the north end. The remaining part simply consisted of functional areas with a set of 3 exhibition rooms on the eastern wing, one large exhibition space together with an office taking up the entire southwestern corner, and a café in the northwest.

At present, the location has become modernized and versatile, providing more facilities for visitors, especially with the addition of a wheelchair slope right outside the entrance to the west and a lift next to the stairs. To the west, exhibition room 4 was converted into a children’s indoor playground and one smaller room for temporary display, while a gallery shop and a vending machine were opened in place of the original gallery office and the cafe. The final alteration that happened was the relocation of the reception towards the entrance of the gallery.

The floor plans illustrate the differences in the layout of an art gallery ground floor between 2015 and the current layout. Overall, it can be seen that there have been a lot of changes to the interior design of the ground floor with the replacement of Exhibition room 4 being the most significant change.

On the left-hand side of the ground floor, there used to be Exhibition Room 4, but it has been removed to make room for the construction of a new temporary exhibition room and children’s play area in the bottom-left corner. A gallery, whose original space is now used for a vending machine, has been relocated to occupy the space of the cafe on the top-left side.

A set of stairs in the middle at the top and three exhibition rooms on the right-hand side of the plan still remain the same, with a new lift being added next to Exhibition Room 3 on the left. There was an entrance hall in the center of the floor and a receptionist in front of the stairs set. While there has been no change ro the entrance hall, the receptionist has been moved beside the temporary exhibition room on the right.
