Sketch up Model 3






"Dynamic" Upper Level
The upper level also known as the studio space exemplifies it's dynamic nature in all areas, i.e. the roof, the floors the pylons, the oscillating wave like structures, everything is in separate places, nothing is alike.


The Exhibition Layer (the merging of both the lower and upper levels). Here the dynamic form of the stairs and aquarium are exemplified, the stairs hanging by a wire support system, the idea was to really create a form of dynamic entry as a person would walk up these stairs whilst the stairs themselves moved.
This idea of using wires was further captured in the hexagonal cell like struc
tures hanging from the ceiling showing elements of both cells and the dynamic.


Lower Floor ( Cells ) Here I made use of the aquarium on exhibition level which was dynamic and it evolves to a cell like aquarium beneath the floor, making it a symbolic medium to show the transition.

The idea was for the person to walk down these stairs and go through these hexagonal cell-like arches feeling slightly trapped and confined, yet not suffocated as the colours of these arches kept changing, from one organic colour to the next

This was the texture used for the upper Exhibition layer, used to highlight the curvature and the dynamic elements on the rooftops


(technological)
This was used in the Exhibition layer
(wavy)
This texture was used in the lower ground level to accentuate the organic elements of 'Cells'
