Client, Narrative + Artist

Client

A young, bohemian woman. Start of a new business. Already lived in Newtown (hence, wants to incorporate her culture into the building). Believes society should be open and welcome into her gallery, but should not stand out from the facades of other buildings on King St. Prefers paintings over sculptures. She believes the artwork is more of important than the building.

Narrative

MANIPULATES TEXTURES manufacturing VIBRANT ILLUSTRATIONS for an

EASYGOING & BOHEMIAN society."

Reflection

Pros
1. POCHE: Much more neater and precise in comparison to Project 1. Poches hopefully focus on the depth of the building, allowing visual communication to be successful.
2. PHOTOS OF MODEL: Although the model being slightly to the awkward scale, the photos make the model visually pleasing.
3. NARRATIVE SENTENCE: The narrative sentence, goes from the painting to the sentence to the typology to the design, making my design much more successful. It also communicates all of the relationships that were previously stated.


Cons
1. MODEL: Looks a bit unusual. For the next project, start the model earlier to be more precise and neat.
2. PRESENTATION: To make the presentation neater, use photoshop to allow each sheet to look consistent
3. PERSPECTIVES: There are no perspectives, to get a better understanding of the idea, there is a need to show perspectives to allow the viewer to feel that he/she is in the building.
4. BLOG: Hardly much text, need to show progression during every week

Concept: This building relates mainly to the typology, which is an unconstructed bridge. This unconstructed bridge, can be seen as a metaphor for a journey. A fully constructed bridge, will allow two ways for the woman to enter, which will show that a journey has two ways or a journey is continuous. However, this is not the case for this situation, an unconstructed bridge, will allow the woman to only enter from one side and once she fulfills her 'journey' she needs to go back to her urbanised world but is now revived and nourished psychologically.

The corridor, is seen to be more private, allowing the widow to have more time to herself and is able to heal her traumatized life. The L-Beams, emphasise the journey and the corridor. The shadows and light that come from the L-Beams further emphasises the healing process. Each room, shows a progression a journey to allow the widow to heal from her 'traumas of reality'. The first room, is open as seen on the plan allowing the 'widower' to enter this space and having an aim to heal her mind and to bring peace from such a busy lifestyle she's been having due to the Industrial Revolution. The next room is a much larger and enclosed. This room can be seen as the 'thinking space'. In this room, the widow begins a train of thought allowing her to think about her isolated life from such a busy urbanised civilization. The light that enters the room is mainly from one side, as seen in the section, there is a wall that hides this window, allowing light to disperse out softly and subtlety. The third room is a long and narrow room, and is known as the ' analysing space'. This space represents the widow's time to relax and to analyse what she has thought in her thinking space. In order, to calm the widower there is an opening on the ground, allowing the running of water to be heard and also allow the reflection of light from water to shimmer on the walls of this room (which can be seen in the cross-section poche). The last room is an open space, representing the widow's conclusion of healing her mind. There is an opening on the structure as seen through the section, showing that although she has healed her mind she still needs to belong in this urbanised world, and hence, combines both psychological thoughts together.

Concept

ANALYZE: The Woman is leaning closer to the urbanized life; symbolizing her loneliness & distraught life she is living. The need to have a peaceful and calm life can be seen, when analysing the painting.

A SERENE RETREAT FOR A DISTRAUGHT WIDOW READY TO HEAL HER TRAUMAS OF REALITY

IDEA: Concept of a journey.
ie. a journey to heal from reality.
A bridge symbolises a two way journey (two ways of circulation), however an unconstructed bridge symbolises a start to a finish allowing one way of circulation. Relaxation, thinking time and healing are the most important ideas that should be seen in this building.

PARTI: A corridor concept is established in my building. A corridor for circulation will allow the building to be more private giving a sense of healing time and thinking time. A corridor will also focus on the idea of a journey.

LIGHT: Natural light over artificial light will allow the building to be less urbanised and more serene. Using the site; allowing an opening on the floor will allow a reflection of light to come - due to water reflecting light.
