Experiment 1: Development of SketchUp Model


These images display the progress of development with the initial concept. The idea was to take a more 3-dimensional aspect of my sketched concepts as my first attempt with SketchUp seemed a little one-dimensional. They illustrate the spatial relationship between structure and its users. The gallery was to be incorporated within the main structure, separated simply by an additional level.

Focusing on the above ground elevation, this concept is modelled on the attributes of "Gascoigne - Monotonous". The premise was to focus on simple, free flowing forms as witnessed by the overall roof silhouette. To allow as much natural light possible, the roof cladding used a transparent material to give a sense of airiness within the internal spatial environment. In much of Gascoigne's work I focused, she looked at the visual depiction of Australian landscape. As such it was important to have a window with a view facing outside for Gascoigne to peer out whilst in her studio seeking inspiration.
