ASSIGNMENT - 4 The Final Model with Stairs







The above part is Piccinini's studio. The wall of his studio is used "leaf-like" texture which is formed by curved line completely. This pattern could match his artworks which are usually organic. In addition, the upper part is formed by different irregular rectangles. It is interesting that thier roofs are formed a streamlined shape. Due to the complex pattern of the wall, I chose to use the simple pattern to fill the stair to express the wareness that there is stair.

The middle part is for exhibition of two artists, glass is used as the main material. For the colour of glass, the light one is not be used because the whole place where is like the glasshouse is neccessay to block some sunlight. In addition, with the time changing, the shadow from the triangular glass wall could become a natural pattern and be full of variations in the exhibition place.

The below part is Swallow's studio. The interior and exterior of the wall is also use the "line" pattern. These lines could give an extention feeling in the interior. Moreover, the shape of the below part is "extend" form, which is similar to Swallow's artwork that there is deeper meaning for each artworks.
