The V&A Porter Gallery will house the contemporary program of the V&A over the next ten years. The entrance to the space below creates a transitional lobby where a perceptual shift from the V&A proper to the Contemporary program is allowed to occur. It has been designed to offer different forms of access to the gallery through five seven-metre high rotating screens. The screens can be reconfigured to the curatorial needs of each exhibition and are clad in reflective black carbon fibre sheeting, a very lightweight skin more commonly found in aircraft manufacture.
