☉ SPACEWAYS OF SUN RA — WIREFRAMES

Full homepage layout: Nav, hero starfield with Saturn rings and headline, 3×2 section cards (Discography, Timeline, Videos, Musicians, Poetry, Films), quote block, footer.

4-column album grid with Era + Label filter bar. Shows cards for Jazz in Silhouette, The Magic City, Space Is the Place, Lanquidity and more. Includes hover state notes and phase build callouts.

Vertical event timeline with era-colored line segments. Shows one expanded event (El Saturn Records, 1956) with image, description and related links. Filter pills, era color legend, keyboard nav hint.

Two states in one file: (A) 3-column video grid with era filters; (B) modal overlay with YouTube video player, progress bar, metadata panel, related videos strip and prev/next arrows.

Two states: (A) portrait-card grid with instrument + era filters, pinned core members row (Sun Ra, Gilmore, Allen, Tyson); (B) right-side detail panel open showing bio, era activity stripe, related album chips, and related video thumbnails.

Two states: (A) default page with Mirador 4 viewer open on first catalog item — institution-grouped sidebar (UChicago, Hamilton, Smithsonian), windowed viewer with thumbnail strip, metadata panel, and multi-window compare mode hint; (B) deep-link arrival via ?manifestId= with arrival banner and ArchivesLink chip callout.

Redesign Option A for long manifest lists. Keeps the sidebar but adds: a real-time search input, collapsible institution groups (accordion), compact 32px rows (vs 52px current) with right-aligned type badges, and a list/grid view toggle. Shows search-active state and all-collapsed state as design notes vignettes.

Redesign Option B. Replaces the sidebar entirely with a collapsible full-width browse drawer: institution columns show all manifests as compact rows, opens/closes via a toggle bar. When closed, Mirador gets the full 1440px viewport. Two states: (A) drawer open — 3-column institution grid; (B) drawer closed — context bar + full viewer.

Virtual shelf layout by category. Portrait-ratio BookCard.astro covers with title, author, year, and digital access badges. Grouped sections: biographies, urban studies, Ra's writings, visual & art. Hover border highlight shown.

Magazine cover grid with 3:4 portrait ratio MagazineCard.astro. Saturn gold "Cover Story" badge for cover features. Grouped by: dedicated issues, UK music press, jazz press, specialty/alternative. Component spec annotation included.

PoemBrowser.jsx React island with two-axis theme × era filter bar. Card grid with poem title, source, excerpt, and theme chips. State B shows the right-side detail panel (excerpt, source, related recording, IIIF manuscript link).

State B shows the Screening Room cinema UI below the grid — cinema-frame with curated program selector, program notes panel, and text-dim-while-playing annotation.
