Axonometrics Combined - The Meeting Space

"Shadow as Repitition"

I found this slide most relevant to components of my UT environment. This concept, "shadow as repetition", evoked a feeling that my design in a sense is a series of repeated forms, shapes and members, arranged in different patterns and styles in order to achieve desired spaces. The selected photos from the slide show related to my design the most. This revelation that shadows are bound by solid forms, yet act quite independently in their own right is interesting. Whilst the solids that cast the shadows appear to be repetitive, i believe the shadows they cast are quite distinct, unique to themselves, and hold an ability to transform the overall structure. without the presence of shadows and manipulative lights, i don't believe this unique quality would be achievable. Because of this, a series of repeated forms with adequate lighting and shadows can create something quite distinct. The nature of this modelling software, building predominantly in quadrilaterals, lends itself to the notion of "shadow as repetition" quite well, and in a distinct manner, much like the shadows thesis as a whole.

"Hope the sea, the great unifier, is nature's only man. Now is nature's veil, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all hiding truth's nakedness in the same boat."

"Cloning offers a lot of benefits. I'd just like to see some of them put into practice. I hope that we manage to get there, and improve the quality of life for a lot more people. We are not going to cure diseases, but we may be able to treat them or hold them off or control and manage them."

Animated Sections

Animation done with little camera movement, to highlight the different gallery spaces, from the open space of Hall's, to the enclosed space of Moffat's, and the large cinema and shared painting display area. Excessive camera movement or plane adjustment tends to rob the animated section of detail and clarity.




Section showing the structure of the stair and how it connects to the upper studio space, and animating the concept of bringing the artwork down the stair in an open environment on show for the audience.



Animated section of downstairs environment, done to highlight the changing nature of the stair and the walls which support it, and slicing through the sprouting spherical features.

Artist's Studio - Vacant, Sprouting

Datum Gallery and Studio Space
Users:Tracey Moffat (above ground)
Fiona Hall (below ground)





































































Tracey Moffat's Studio


















Large, open workspace with blank walls for image and video projection. Large window spaces for natural light on one edge, to allow morning light, but block low afternoon sun.






















































Small exterior balcony for work composed outdoors. Lower features of gallery extend upwards, providing structural support for Moffat's studio space.
































Stair leading from gallery space to Moffat's studio. Constructed in a glass box like structure, with little obtrusive elements, so audience can gain full view of Moffat bringing work to the gallery. Balustrade is very open, and stair tread very light, connected discreetly with steel fastenings to outer structure thus sustaining the light and visually engaging dynamic.





















Fiona Hall's Studio

































The downstairs studio space for Fiona Hall contains a series of spherical features that appear to be growing out from the wall. this is a direct representation of her work, Paradisius Teretris, which contains discarded tin cans that have natural looking plants sculpted from metal growing from them. The juxtaposition in this space of the industrial beams suspending an arched roof, and natural spherical forms plays on this concept of natural and man made.















































The stair contains a curved balustrade, and opens out into an amphitheatre in the gallery space, to announce Hall's work to the audience. The structural support for the stair (shown in the first picture of the studio), plays further on the idea of the naturally sprouting wall, which supports the man made stair.





Gallery Space
















Gallery space looking upwards, with Fiona Hall's designated space located on the left, with a lighter facade, and Tracey Moffat's space located on the right, with a darker space for photo and video viewings.
















Mixed gallery space for painting displays, to be used by either artist.
































Display cabinet of Hall's work, Paradisius Teretris.
















Moffat's studio space, displaying her series of photo's, titled Fourth.































Exterior paved areas providing further outdoor space for social gatherings during exhibitions.
















Outdoor cinema space, using stair as seating, where films by the artists can be shown, projected on a white background, and semi covered to protect audience from weather.
