Final Concept: Exterior

The overall shape and form of the structure imparts a sense of continuity, in regards to relative proportion and balance between above and below sections as seen by the side view. 

(Left to right)
Three quarter perspective: 
Main entrance to the building, the whole structure is supported by a concrete beam running from front to rear. The overall shape is inspired by the constant cycle of the sun rising and setting in the Australian outback as seen in Gascoigne's All Summer Long art piece.

Front:
This illustrates the overall dimension of the building relative to people. It also highlights that each side of the building is different following the theme of light and shade, imparting a symbolism of life and death (by use of different shaded materials) of Hall's central theme.

Top:
The topography is very much in unison of the overall theme projected, witnessed by the free flowing lines. This view shows the differences between mass from left to right, and plays with the contrast of hard materials such as concrete and glass, to soft materials such as the exposed timber decking.

Lower quarter perspective:
This allows opportunity to see into Hall's studio. Parkland is situated specifically to allow people to sit and meet, and gives the artist to peer above at their interactions.

Side:
The main entrance tapers at the right side to create a flow in effect for pedestrian traffic. This is seen as the side where a road would be parallel to, and thus providing a welcoming entrance to the outside world.
