when life gives you lemons, grab some tequila and salt.... my new model!!!

I decided to keep the aesthetic of the structure consistent throughout the three elements of the gallery. I used colour, fittings and texture to create the individual aesthetics and feelings.


The gallery is purposefully plain so to emphasise the art. The room is very bright and open. There are two showcase areas for each artist.


Above is the frustrating area. When entering the space the staircase, as previously discussed is difficult to ascend. There is also another staircase mounted on the roof going no where. The hallway directly after is obstructed by poles. There is then a maze to the left and a store room up the spiral staircase. The floor in the store room is purposefully uneven. The patron must also go through a zig zag of purposefully placed walls to access the large studio. Furthermore, the textures on the wall and the bright colours are chosen to overwhelm and emphasise the frustrating feeling the space creates.


This image captures a section through the two studios and storage spaces. The colour plate chose for the dynamic studio is purposefully neutral to focus attention on the creative process.

The above picture captures a communal meeting area for the two artists, off the entrance to the dynamic studio. This space includes a sitting area and meeting room on the lower level.

I am glad that I decided to abandon my second model and embark on a third as I believe that I have developed the concept a lot further in this model and created a space that is both functional and expressive.
