Project 3 - Concept Development

This was a 1:200 massing/concept development model I made. I was able to perform light experiments for both night time and daytime conditions. From this model I also further developed the vista down the main hall and decided to improve the simple staircase I had in early designs.

The following are concepts from the very early stages of the project to more developed stages. I investigated footpath pedestrian viewing angles, eventually deciding on suspended artworks at the front of the gallery which were slightly angled towards the street. The one main concept continues throughout with investigation into the possibilities of light shafts and roof elements.

I designed this concept for the gallery's sole staircase after deciding the plain and boring staircase I had previously conceived was not good enough.

This was one of the first concepts I had for the mullion system supporting the glass facade and roof. Previously, I had specified a planar wire and spider suspension system.

This was a rough attempt at finding a good room for the final poche plan and section at 1:50.

These were some concepts for sculptures to be depicted in my final plans at 1:100.
