This was the initial idea and recommended by the tutor to follow through the development cycle. The premise was focusing on allowing light to pass through and filter down the structure below. Using a variety of dense materials such as concrete, this was to absorb light/heat, as the purpose was to create a contrast between light and dark, from sunrise to sunset. This primarily focused on Gascoigne's work "All Summer Long" and other various landscape artworks, taking inspiration of the length of day, and constant cycle over a period of time.
In stark contrast to the above datum of Gascoigne's, the below datum using aggressive surfacing and detailing to emphasise the keyword "Vigourous". Hall's artwork "Understorey" highlights the stark reality of life and death by virtue of materials used in her composition. I wanted to enhance this by creating a contrast between above and below. This follows through with the notion of simple harmonious lines above, whilst the below datum differentiates with a more corrupt and angular form.

Similar in concept to the previous idea, but the tutor categorised both as either concept to further investigate. Again following suit from the previous concept premise, the inspiration was to keep the lines and overall shape smooth, harmonious and allow the contrast between light and shade. For the below datum, the focus was for multiple levels or hallways from a central shaft (ie. elevator or spiral staircase), and give flexibility with additional storage and studio workspace.
