English translation:open space
Explanation:
To my mind, this is what is meant here. Like the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern, this is an open space that can be adapted to all kinds of modern art installation.

clearance facilities


Explanation:
Parece esquisito a utilização dessa palavra aqui. A minha sugestão, devido ao significado de despojamento é de que tenha facilidades de despejo, ou seja, que se possam retirar ou colocar objectos de lá com facilidade.
