Project Development Plans

As I continue to develop my project, I found there were 5 main issues with which I would predominately concern myself with after speaking with Berlin (tutor).

These were:
1. Second floor views: Use more effectively.
2. Develop the relationship between entering and hitting the 'sitting hill'
3. Develop terrace/view usage.
4. External ramp placement to reach terraces 'publicly'
5. Gym placement: move from original underground position.

The following posts will outline by exploration of these issues.

Final Model Images for Project 3

As I researched into museum designs, I remembered visiting the Picasso museum in Barcelona and the sense of mystery I attached to it due to its use of natural materials, dark and open rooms and the physical experience of moving around all the different spaces. This added to the experience of viewing the paintings because it was as if you had entered a separate world.

So I applied this idea by designing a gallery which used its architecture, partitions and illuminating devices to allure the beholder inside and create a surprising world separate from the urban landscape of King Street by exploring differently scaled dynamic spaces and evocatively rich, raw materials to enhance the viewing of paintings.
