The left bottom space is a lab designed for Nicole Kuepper, based on her quote of saying ‘two billion people around the world have no access to reliable electricity’, in a environment natural and simple like this, only solar energy can be used, therefore gives her the opportunity to experience working in a such condition that is relevant to her experiment.
The space on middle bottom where it extent out from the labs and set in between of two different landforms, is where Nicole Kuepper and Charles Darwin might meet and exchange ideas.
This is an image from Russell’s lecture on slide 50. I chose this image because it shows an imaginative free form structural by just using simple shapes and prisms. The way that every single shape bond and link with each other is very interesting, then overall it formed this particular shape shadow. This image lead me ideas for my design that I can explore more techniques of intersecting and combing of the 9 prisms into a more free form structural while think about interesting spaces and human scale.
An external overall view of the building, part of the roof with custom texture applied. This is my second scheme based on Goodwin and Swallow; I have the word ‘struggle’ for above ground artist Goodwin, this is how I came up with the complicated and interesting structural roof design. The building also have a large area of glass, this is for natural sun lights from roof, and street view into the gallery space on ground floor.
Looking at ground floor gallery space and above floor studio space. Custom textures are applied on back wall which continual through both floor and on stair treads.
Down to the underground studio space, custom textures are applied on one main wall of the studio. Blue colored mainly glass structured staircase are designed for Swallow, the studio space also have natural sunlight ventilations from ground floor.
