At Zeum we have a room we call the cone, which is a high (3 stories) round
space.  Around the outside of the cone there is a "corkscrew" walkway which
has balconies that overlook the central space at various heights.  It is
both an impressive space and a challenging one to design exhibits for.

I am wondering - what other spaces like this are out there?  How did you
approach the design process?  What did you end up doing?

Right now we are exhibiting Metafield Maze by Bill Keays:

In the past we have had Jam O world:

The space is simultaneously so promising and difficult that we have never
used it to its fullest extent.
