EXPERIMENT 1: THE DATUM SUBMISSION

1. The 3 images with descriptive words
2. 18 sketch sections
3.  36 custom textures
4. 7 images showing 2 draft model + 1 developed SketchUp model

First draft SketchUp model.

Second draft model with 2 sets of stairs from both bottom and top level leading to the datum. 

DEVELOPED SKETCHUP MODEL

5. Animations

This animation shows the general, 360 degree, exterior appearance of the building as well as a perspective view of a section running through the gallery.



This animation takes the viewer up the stairs and through the terrace/exhibition area as though you are a visitor at the gallery yourself.



This animation shows the plan and a perspective section through the gallery.

Update

My building with a side wall removed. I still need to apply my textures and add details such as the exhibition works and people (plan to do that at the end).

The close up view of underground level where the stairs lead up to the exterior of the building and towards the entrance for general admission/admittance into the exhibition area.

Left hand side of the building with added unfinished terrain. The cantilevered terrace at the front of the building acts as an exterior exhibition space where the guests are able to travel between the interpenetrating spaces and feel as if they are hovering above the sea.

Right hand side view of the building. The little door on ground level is the client's studio leading up to the platform where I plan to add another flight of stairs up to the exhibition terrace. 

One wall removed, left hand side of the building with terrain.

Problems as of now: 

• building much too like one shape that has been extruded? 
• the door of the underground client (Shinya Kimura) too misleading? Appears to be on ground level when it is really underground; it sits in the dip of the terrain.
