DRAFT#1 SKETCH UP MODEL:
ABOVE: Curious
The emotion of curiosity is visually displayed in this section with the spiral stairs integrated with windows that attracts the person on the stairs to look out from. It poses as a physical manipulation of the spectator (i.e. artist, Goodwin) to be inspired by the Unknown (beyond the window).
materials - transparent glass for ABOVE section, patterned tiles for stairs.
BELOW: Foreigner
This is the attempt to demonstrate the idea of detachment, having separate studio and work rooms spaced out under the ground plane - having Piccinni to feel "foreign" to her surroundings, uncertain of where the other rooms are situated.
materials - patterned tiles for floor
DRAFT#2 SKETCH UP MODEL:
ABOVE: Illuminating
The "illuminating" feature is presented by use of bright yellow and metal - as a reflective source from the sunlight. The shape of the section as pointed star segments contributes to this perspective.
materials: patterned metal
BELOW: Interlocked
The hexagonal shapes connects the whole studio space with bricks used predominating to imply the "strength" of the nature of objects being "interlocked".
materials: striped cladding, bricks
FINAL DEVELOPED SKETCH UP MODEL:
ABOVE: Curious
Developed from DRAFT#1 - modification with studio rooms. The space on the ABOVE section has been extended with curving of the walkways to "manipulate" the artist's mind. The use of wood being distorted in irregular shapes forms the roof and contributes to the "curious" atmosphere, as well as providing a connection to the gallery, also in wood.
materials: cladding, wood, tiles
Gallery - THE DATUM
a walkway has also been constructed to refer to Goodwin's section on the ABOVE plane, i.e. to direct spectators/visitors on only ONE route. The extensive use of wood is to to create a sense of unity between the two sections.
materials: wood
BELOW: Foreigner
The BELOW section has been extended to great lengths to highlight the "foreign" sensation, having tiles lining the surface of walkways and a distorted structure at the centre of the section - this feature is surrounded by a patterned translucent wall - acting as the "barrier" for the artist to see clearly.
