TATE in Space, Student international Architecture Competition

Art Gallery in Space

A conceptual art gallery in outer space, designed as a twisting Möbius band, floating serenely against the backdrop of Earth, showcasing innovative architectural vision and creativity.

Paper Model - Part 1

The first segment of a cut-and-fold paper model, allowing the construction of the Möbius band art gallery for the competition submission, demonstrating the project's unique spatial form.

Paper Model - Part 2

The second segment of the cut-and-fold model. Glue both parts together to form a dynamic origami Möbius band, capable of being turned inside out by twisting the paper.

The image presented illustrates Manuel Alejandro Carballo Amat's concept for the 2003 Tate Modern Gallery competition, where he was awarded the position of 1st finalist. Envisioning the next Tate gallery in outer space, his design is inspired by the Möbius strip. The structure elegantly twists through the void, creating an infinite surface that challenges traditional architectural limits in a zero-gravity environment.
