Refined Concept

With feedback and critique from Anu, I have refined my concept to be more free flowing. I have tried to focus on the sequential path that the viewer shall take the in space. The original concept has been altered to have more individual gallery spaces rather then open rooms while still incorporating the original idea/concept.

I like the design/style of this building. The openess which allows a high quality of light heavily relies to my building proposal for Newtown.

Ezra Stoller

I was looking at American architectural photographer Ezra Stoller and some of his works. Below are some of his works that have influenced my design. I am taking a new look at this assignment and looking at designing these rooms from a photographers point of view. This means addressing the quality of light, the quantity aswell as shadows and other factors. In my gallery I wish to control the frequency of inlets of light. However, I want to have roof openings to allow the light to come in. Exposure will also be used to control the intensity of the light. It is only after I test these features in my building will the actual room and concept be viable. Here are some of his works that have influenced my concept, as I really like the use of curves to split the rooms and capture the audiences eye.

Site Traffic Analysis

Utilising Google Maps to its full potential I analysis the traffic patterns of the site. Google Maps has a traffic option which allows you to look at live traffic flows aswell as picking a day and time. This allowed me to check peak times and the main roads.
