EXP3.WK13 - FINAL MODEL

The drawings that i have done include floor plans of ground and second floors and one sectional rendered drawing.

MODEL 1. Facade/Entry - visible through windows however not fully, giving hints of what's displayed inside
2. Circulation - maximising space usage by employing circulation as display space
3. The size of the painting is big in the ground level with a small amount of light getting through, the size becoming smaller in the upper levels, where a large amount of light comes in.
4. Display area - near the entrace, there is open area where large drawings can be hung.

These are images of my final model, showing external as well as internal aspects of the art gallery.

1. The very first photo shows the back of the building, where the courtyard is (for displaying sculpture works).

2. The second image shows how the building fits within the surrounding buildings. It is a bit higher than neighbouring buildings, just to gain natural lighting.

3. This photo captures the ground floor, where the ramp is used for circulation as well as displaying artworks (maximising space usage).

4. Top view, a very exposed and open area, with a large amount of natural lighting.

5. The second floor plan, where it is considered to be the connecting point between the gallery owner's space and the displaying artworks areas.

EXP3.WK13 - FINAL SITE MODEL

SITE 1. the building has a large number of openings and windows (quite open area), the lighting is a critical point. Needed a site where natural lighting is entirely available.
2. Busy part of Newtown area. However, neighbouring stores are hotel, takeaway shops (retail),
it doesn't belong to the group, therefore my site stands out (isolated - theme for this project)

ARTWORKS 1. artworks which are related to the theme of isolation
2. Since the building itself gives a sense of light-weighted, the artworks inside the space, is going to be something solid, dark, heavy-weighted.

These are images of my final site model and drawings.

The first two show the site model, at a scale of 1:100.

The last two show the site drawing, at the same scale.

EXP3.WK12 - SKETCHUP DEVELOPMENT

These are the captures of my final design for project three in sketch-up version. Each of the captured images shows whole, side, front and top view, respectively.

EXP3.WK11 - MODEL DEVELOPMENT

These are images of my first attemp for designing art gallery.

It is composed of a number of small buildings, including

display areas, entrance, galler owner house, stockroom, etc.

The circulation from the entrance to the display area is used as courtyard,

for displaying sculpture works.

Both display areas have an opening in their roofing, just to allow skylight.

I have separated the gallery owner's living and working spaces

from the display areas

because of gallery owner is introverted and inhibited person

EXP3.WK10 - IDEA DEVELOPMENT

I have started planning and designing for my project three.

My theme for this project would be realisation,

where the art gallery owner realisesa about his dream and passion for artworks

and explores them in his gallery.

EXP3.WK10 - PAINTING SELECTION

Amanda Marburg - involving photography and model-making, building unique, handmade modela, a form of modelling clay. Marburg makes use of cropping, distortion of scale and localised lighting. (3rd, 4th and 5th images)

John Coburn - distinctive style of abstraction. (1st and 2nd images)

EXP3.WK9 - SITE SELECTION

The site that i have selected for my project three is

393-395 King Street, Newtown.

It is a combination of two small buildings (~10 m),

just opposite to Newtown Performing Arts High School.
