The National Gallery
Casting New Light on Old Masters
By Steve Vandyke




L
      ondon’s National Gallery is now
      better equipped to present its Old
      Masters in the best possible light—
quite literally. Through the employ-
ment of Andrew Reid & Partners and
its own Trend Building Management
System (BMS), the National Gallery’s
Technical Services department has
developed and begun implementing
a new strategy for controlling gallery
roof blinds. This new system will allow
the collections to be viewed in natural
lighting for longer periods, whilst still
protecting them from direct sunlight.
In addition to enhancing the viewer’s
appreciation of a painting, the use of
daylight to provide illumination reduces
the need for artificial lighting, thus
saving energy.
    The Trend BMS provides close con-
trol and monitoring of environmental

take around 30 months, and with a fur-
ther three months for our opening exhi-

ratepayers are funding 46% ($56M) of
this $121M project. So one of the first
things we did, as part of our commu-

                                             IAMFA 2011, here we (and hopefully all of you) come!
                                             The Auckland-based organising committee for the
                                          November 2011 conference—IAMFA’s ā€œcoming of ageā€
                                          conference, its 21st—has been meeting and planning since
                                          the end of 2009. The organising committee is comprised
                                          of: Patricia Morgan (Auckland Art Gallery), Paul Ivory
                                          (Auckland City Council), Natalie Hansby (Auckland Zoo),
                                          Paul Evans (Voyager, NZ Maritime Museum), Bridgette
                                          Robinson (Museum of Transport and Technology) and
                                          Adam Taylor (Auckland Museum).
                                             We meet monthly at each venue in rotation, which gives
                                          us all an opportunity to refamiliarise ourselves with all the    Alfresco dining in Wellington.


                                                                                                                                     PAPYRUS SUMMER–FALL 2010      43
years since I visited MOTAT—not since my adult sons were
               young, and fascinated by all things mechanical (how simple
               life was then!). What a difference and what a great venue
               for you all to visit and to be charmed by! The fact that it is
               right next door to the Auckland Zoo means you will enjoy
               a wonderful day at Western Springs, visiting both of these
               absorbing venues!
                   Meetings at the Auckland Art Gallery are far less inter-
               esting at the moment, as the majority of Gallery staff are
               housed in a Council highrise. Thankfully, however, we are
               within five minutes of the Gallery building site—and before
               too long the organising committee will be able to have a
               guided tour of what is very quickly becoming a recognisable
               art gallery. (Check out the story on progress elsewhere
               in Papyrus.)
                                                                                                 Front entrance of the Baltimore Museum of Art.
                   We are currently considering what we can present you
               with at the San Francisco conference, in order to whet your
               appetites and make a trip to Auckland next November 2011                          annual conference in San Francisco, where they will get a
               a ā€œmust-doā€ in all your diaries. I am not sure we can reach                       chance to meet up with old friends and participate in the
               Joe’s poetic heights—the bar has been set rather high—but                         all the festivities the planning committee has planned! The
               we will do our best! In the meantime: a few images of our                         next Washington, D.C.-Baltimore Chapter meeting will

Richard Day Retires

By Maurice Evans

One of the longtime members of the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore Chapter has
decided to retire. Richard Day has decided to call it quits, and retired from the
Smithsonian Institution on July 30, 2010 after working there for 37 years.
   Richard began his career in October of 1973 at the Smithsonian as a laborer.
Since then, he has held numerous positions during his illustrious career, including
building manager and facilities manager, and he retired as the Deputy Director of
the Office of Facilities Management and Reliability.
   When Richard was asked what he will miss the most about IAMFA, he said it
would be the annual conferences—although you can be assured that Richard isn’t
leaving IAMFA! When asked what he plans to do with all of his free time, Richard
said he is looking forward to sleeping in, spending more time with the family, and
working on the farm. He will be truly missed by the Smithsonian.
   We all wish Richard the best as he starts this new chapter of his life, away from        Richard at the IAMFA conference
the hustle and bustle of the world of facilities and into the world of retirement.          in 2006.


See you in San Francisco!

    The National Gallery CastingNew Light on Old Masters By Steve Vandyke L ondon’s National Gallery is now better equipped to present its Old Masters in the best possible light— quite literally. Through the employ- ment of Andrew Reid & Partners and its own Trend Building Management System (BMS), the National Gallery’s Technical Services department has developed and begun implementing a new strategy for controlling gallery roof blinds. This new system will allow the collections to be viewed in natural lighting for longer periods, whilst still protecting them from direct sunlight. In addition to enhancing the viewer’s appreciation of a painting, the use of daylight to provide illumination reduces the need for artificial lighting, thus saving energy. The Trend BMS provides close con- trol and monitoring of environmental The National Gallery as seen from Trafalgar Square. conditions throughout the National Gallery’s main building.

The Tate Modern is part of the neighbourhood. Its presence Last month we met at MOTAT: the Museum of Transport has made a major contribution to the ongoing revitalisation and Technology. I am embarrassed to confess that it is many of Southwark, and it recognises the importance of building strong links with the local community. The Transforming Tate NICK SERVIAN Modern project will be a catalyst for engaging local audiences more deeply, and broadening access to the museum. The new development will continue to bolster the growth of the borough. A public walkway through the building will make possible a direct route from the City to the heart of Southwark. There will also be two new public squares to the south and west of the building. And finally, To the east, a new planted area will be created especially for the use of the local community and staff.

    years since Ivisited MOTAT—not since my adult sons were young, and fascinated by all things mechanical (how simple life was then!). What a difference and what a great venue for you all to visit and to be charmed by! The fact that it is right next door to the Auckland Zoo means you will enjoy a wonderful day at Western Springs, visiting both of these absorbing venues! Meetings at the Auckland Art Gallery are far less inter- esting at the moment, as the majority of Gallery staff are housed in a Council highrise. Thankfully, however, we are within five minutes of the Gallery building site—and before too long the organising committee will be able to have a guided tour of what is very quickly becoming a recognisable art gallery.

    Richard Day Retires DAN DAVIES By Maurice Evans One of the longtime members of the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore Chapter has decided to retire. Richard Day has decided to call it quits, and retired from the Smithsonian Institution on July 30, 2010 after working there for 37 years. Richard began his career in October of 1973 at the Smithsonian as a laborer. Since then, he has held numerous positions during his illustrious career, including building manager and facilities manager, and he retired as the Deputy Director of the Office of Facilities Management and Reliability. When Richard was asked what he will miss the most about IAMFA, he said it would be the annual conferences—although you can be assured that Richard isn’t leaving IAMFA! When asked what he plans to do with all of his free time, Richard said he is looking forward to sleeping in, spending more time with the family, and working on the farm. He will be truly missed by the Smithsonian. We all wish Richard the best as he starts this new chapter of his life, away from Richard at the IAMFA conference the hustle and bustle of the world of facilities and into the world of retirement. in 2006.
