Assignment 3 - 1:100 model

This image shows my 1:100 model within its site. I have made mistakes when calculating the heights of the surrounding buildings. As a result my building looks far smaller than it actually is. I need to be more careful when working out my initial parameters.





Assignment 3 - 1:100 model

Assignment 3: clients

CLIENTS:
The first person living within this building will be the gallery owner and art collector, he lives above the gallery. The second person living in this space will not just be one person. Depending on the gallery exhibition etc the gallery owner will commission an artist to come and live within the gallery premises and create works of art for him. This commission will last for a predetermined length of time, it could be 6 weeks, 6 months or a year.

DESIGN IDEA:
With my design I wanted to incorporate the process of making art as part of the gallery and exhibition. I did this by creating a freestanding glass pavilion within the gallery grounds. This pavilion acts as the chosen artists studio and it is there that works are created. The process of making art becomes just as important as the finished product.
