Grand Rapids Art Museum, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, 2004 designed by wHY Architecture
The inner sanctum beyond is the 3-level gallery tower where top floor galleries are lit with lantern skylights, serving as light givers to the galleries as well as illuminating “beacons” in the urban night sky. -- ArchDaily

Primary School Extension, Senago Milan, Italy, 2006 designed by GSMM Architetti
The block where the gym is housed, on the contrary, has a more abstract shape: its windowless sides and large skylight highlight its atypical nature and emphasize the distinction between built and natural environments. -- ArchDaily

Burren House, Dublin, Co. Dublin, Ireland, 2009 designed by Níall McLaughlin Architects
The beauty of this form of sectional organisation is that it juxtaposes two opposite principles. The stone enclosure is built up from the ground with load bearing walls; the glazed truss is a frame. The stone enclosure is cloistered and inward looking, belonging among the garden walls. The glazed pavilion is open out to views to the horizon on all sides. -- ArchDaily

Angel Gonzalez Library, Madrid, Spain, 2010 designed by Carlos de Riaño Lozano
The main book section occupies the other subdivisions, facing the northwest, northeast and southeast. This room was carefully designed. It receives sunlight all around the outer perimeter, which seems to contradict the traditional light from the north assigned to libraries. We have taken advantage of the large variety of sunlight-controlling glass as a filter with two aims: to avoid the direct impact of sunlight and to act as a translucent screen from the environment. -- ArchDaily

Spiral Gallery Ⅱ, Jiading New Town, Shanghai, China, 2011 designed by Atelier Deshaus
Using a spiral is to give the different ways of “open” and “close” between the ground floor and upper floor: the ground floor is back towards the courtyard and slightly lower than the ground, while the upper floor faces outward to the open landscape. -- ArchDaily

Cite De L'Ocean et du Surf, Biarritz, France, 2011 designed by Steven Holl Architects
The building form derives from the spatial concept "under the sky"/"under the sea". A concave "under the sky" shape creates a central gathering plaza, open to sky and sea, with the horizon in the distance. The convex structural ceiling forms the "under the sea" exhibition spaces. This concept generates a unique profile and form for the building, and through its insertion and efficient site utilization, the project integrates seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. -- architect's web site

The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2012 designed by Tod Williams + Billie Tsien
The Collection Gallery has been designed with simplified detail to provide better luminosity for the artwork. Such details as lightening the finish on the wood, simple floor patterns and re-shaping the ceiling to distribute artificial light helped brighten and clarify the viewing within the galleries. The second floor galleries have a clerestory that draws top-light into the spaces and is diffused through louvers. -- ArchDaily

I wanted to create light, stable indoor climate and came up with a plan of three sheds of house type arranged on a 1.8 m high, grey foundation platform. -- ArchDaily

The Whale Primary School, Italy, 2013 designed by Studio di Architettura Andrea Milani
The only volume to a higher floor is a multi-purpose hall and the only “foreign” element to the square, but it goes in this way to define a function released by ‘use purely scholastic going to be defined as a public place. -- ArchDaily
