3 quotes



Stephen Hawking:




"Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry."

As quoted in Stephen Hawking: A Biography (2005) by Kristine Larsen, p. 43

Charles Darwin:




"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."

Nicole Kuepper:




"Two billion people around the world have no access to reliable electricity. Imagine if
this could be provided with energy that was both cheap and green."

Landform and model final shots



This is my final model. The section on the left is for Hawking
and the section on the right is intended for Darwin.
The meeting place for the two clients is on the land in-between,
this piece of land overlooks the ocean and descending mountain.
I hope this would create a natural aura a place where they can discuss and think in
serenity.

Final Submission



Here are some Screenshots of my final Model.


I decided to create a large space at the gallery entrance
to function as a meeting point, a place to interact,
enjoy a conversation. The opening also leads
to all rooms of the gallery, through a flow of steps
throughout the rooms.




Ricky Swallow Stairs and Gallery.

Ricky Swallows Studio has a large Skylight to
allow lots of light to enter, as carving can be a strenuous
on the eyes, requiring much concentration.
I also placed a window where he can look out over the
large opening overlooking the stairs.



I added a carved, aspect to the stairs linking them
to much of Swallow's work, but still have a smooth
element as-well.


I used my Own texture on this wall. 'Corrugated


Patricia Piccinini gallery and stairs

The red stairs which I incorporated into my design
mimic the strong colours used in some of Piccinini's
artwork without being too overt. Yet they still maintain
an essence of sleekness and sophistication, such as in
her sculpture 'Car Nuggets'.




This piccinini's studio contains all the space
required to create her artworks. She also has a
washroom incase of any chemical accidents.


The main Gallery containing her works link directly
back into the large space at the entrance and also to
Swallows gallery.

Draft Models

Playing around with the roof




This was a window idea but it fell through didn't really suit the structure.





And this is one of my stair drafts for Ricky Swallow.
