Early drawings

Early drawings attempting to reach '5 boxes'

Unable to download Lumion from a VPN direct to my home computer, I rendered my drawings as best I could using Sandboxing tools from Sketchup and the Artisan toolset.

IN completing my first draft model and then going to the lecture "strongly recommended" by Russell, I decided my model was completely inadequate and set about realising a new, stronger design which would better cater to both clients.

This involved the use of minimal views of the exterior world so as to not dilute the viewing experience of customers, as well as providing adequate lighting for the workshop and workspaces.

THE customer enters via a small doorway, traversing a darker passageway before it expands out into the large foyer area, naturally lit from above. The viewer then circumnavigates the depressed Hazan work area, and enters the display space on the far side of the room following paths lit by long lines of sunlight that penetrate into the building.

I have chosen to use compacted earth for the walls of the 'star', creating a contrast between the mechanical and machined nature of the product and its display space.

(I've later realised there are no section cuts used in my animations, but I think that would dull the experience and wonder of these clips I've chosen)

36 MATERIALS

    (SORRY, WROTE "ABOVE" TWICE)

Looking at a cuboid design for my stairs, referencing the Giants Causeway in Ireland for the irregular stepped design. I also looked at truss stairs based off a slanted design I posted earlier.
