This week has been a research week for me. As the project being developed to the next stage, sometimes you might need to do some further research, or start a new research because a new concept has came across. So I have been looking up the Salvador Dali Museum, I was instructed by the tutor. Salvador Dali is a famous abstract painter, who I like a lot. The form of this museum is  very attractive, because it is a mixture of a box and an organic shape glass. Moreover, the interior is as interesting as the exterior, the spiral staircase is the main element in this museum. The whole interior plays with curve, and organic shapes. It creates a very unique spacial experience for people in terms of its interior.
