ARCH 1201 - Final Geometrical Shape for Final Design

With the final form still undecided I went to Google Sketchup in order to create an attractive form that meets all the design criterias. I finally came up with 3 triangular prisms showing the 3 elements in which my going work with in my building. Oceanscape Landscape and Desertscape.
The facade is also facing the road covering all the back area so that the customers will not be able to predict the interior of the gallery for it is a journey through nature. The sun will also be able to shine on the courtyard in the middle of the building giving life to nature.

ARCH 1201 - Working Model with change in geometry and composition

With the form in shape I need to test out the new composition and circulation so that I can continue with the design. I created a 1:200 working model to visualise the circulation of the building and the form in a real life format. With the ends having ortogonal shapes it is suggested that I replace so that all geometry within the site is designed to resemble a triangle.

ARCH 1201 - Development with change in geometry and composition

With the dull exterior and necessary exterior space in order for more sunlight I have looked into strategies to change the exterior form of the building so that it covers the front facade and opens up at the back so that it could bring in natural sunlight and I need the form to be so that it resembles nature in a way. Through different research and experimentation triangular form is best because it coveys the idea of topography and landscape.

ARCH 1201 - Sketchup Visualisation of the design

I have created a Google Sketchup model in order to visual the whole space. With detailled been added to this model it is confirmed that everything will be able to fit together. With the model it is also possible to test the lighting of the space to make sure sufficient natural light will be able to beam the gallery.
