"Light and Shadow" textures

Interconnected Parallel Projections

These are the sketchup models that I used to help me 

  draw the axonemetrics from 2 different angles. 

"Shadow as a threshold"

Shadow as a threshold investigates unknown places, where the obscure is concealed. I found this relevant to my design, as the scientists are investigating the unknown, they are overcoming the threshold and uncovering the obscure and boundary breaking. According to the text, "the shadow threshold velts both the understanding of self and of the self relationship to temperal and spacial boundaries." This is exactly what the scientists are achieving. I feel that the space they work in, acts as a threshold, allowing them to explore many realms. Furthermore, many of their scientific experiments are sensitive to light and shadow, and therefore the shadow velts understanding and sensitivity. Shadow transforms the space through the structure and material as it not only illuminates the space sculpturally, but highlights certain elements of it. 

Electroliquid Aggregation

No good aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious, wishes it may be alone, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands will not ensure peace[fulness] or can be considered normal.

Structure and Materials of Stairs

Final Editions to my Building:

This shows the supporting structure added around the building as well as the changes to the 'tunnel' connecting ground level to the below ground studio and level one (for use by Tracey Moffat only):

Edit of Sketchup models - stairs, textures, artworks, human interaction

Explanation:

Below Ground/ Moffats Studio: I have designed the building so that most of Moffats photography can be filmed on site in her studio. The large open spaces allow for building of sets as well as well as provide a studio for them to be filmed or photographed in. I have also utilized space by putting in shelving. I have allowed the building to have a lot of natural light by giving it a glass roof and allowing natural light to shine down the sides of the building. 

In Between/ the gallery: I have created an exhibition space with 2 floors as many of Fiona Hall and Tracey Moffats artworks require a large amount of room. Moffats' videos need intimate spaces where they can be screened and I have done this by dividing the rooms up into small spaces with large open doorways. Many of Halls works are displayed in large cabinets which is why the rooms are also very spacious. I have also provided a large entrance to the gallery and an amphitheater where school groups/ other groups can sit and listen to a guide. 

Above Ground/ Halls Studio: Halls studio requires a lot of space as she works with many different found objects and materials and mostly works with sculptures of all sizes. I have given her many desks to work on as well as a lot of floor space so that her studio is not cluttered and each project can have sufficient amount of space to be assembled. I have also given her an office, and a photography room where she can shoot her photographic work. Halls Stairs are quite wide to allow for the transportation of her large sculptures into the gallery. I have also given Hall a lot of natural light as she is very aware of environmental implications and can therefore consume less electricity (this is evident in much of her work as it focuses on environmental degradation).
