Project3: development

My concept

My idea is to use the different height of the floor to represent the rapidly change of the feeling. So when people go through each section, they can't predict what kind of space is going to be. For example, they might be in a very dark and low ceiling area, and suddenly they are in very light room.

To represent the unstable emotional of the artist by the light, I make very long zigzag skylight through the space on level 1 which some part of the sky light is bigger and some part is smaller. The size of skylight depends on the size of the room and different usage. For example, the room where displaying the painting, the skylight is smaller so there is not too much light go into the room so it not destroy the painting.

2nd idea: Massing of the whole building


2nd idea: Facade (solid and void)

2nd idea: section-showing the lighting

2nd idea: 1st floor

On the 1st level, there is the gallery for painting on the front part. The living area is on the back which can access from downstairs. There is the workshop at the end which is in the living area.

2nd idea: ground plan

On the ground floor is the section for sculpture which showing different kind of sculpture (very large sculpture, small sculpture). At the end of the gallery, there is an office which is connected to the back door, the living area and storage. These are the stair in the living area that is connected to the living area on the upstairs. That means the private area downstairs connected to the private area upstairs so the visitor cannot access that area by accidentally

1st idea

Section

My first idea is to seperate the living area and gallery space but having gallery on the ground level. The living area is on the second level. At the end of the gallery, there is the stair case in the backyard lead up to the living area. The backyard is separated from the gallery by having office in the middle which is semi private. Therefore the art dealer have to go through the gallery to the office then to the backyard so he can take a stair to living area.
