Textures used in design

Translucent - this texture is used to represent transparent glazing, it gives an 'endless' feeling thought out the building, which is also represented in Goodwins work.


Fibrous - this texture was chosen as it gives a feeling as if you were underground, the feeling that you may be 'departed', buried under ground like as if 'fibrous' roots were surrounding you. it has a unpleasant impact on one, just like in swallows sculpture.


Varnished - just like 'varnished' timber, this texture looks like the grain and knots found in timber flooring. Timber was chosen to represent the material that is used in the artists workshop.

Developed SketchUp Model

View from inside the top gallery, 'endless' views and lines.

I've also done this with the stairs going up to the top gallery, these stairs are much thicker, to blend in with the thicker curved lines of the building. This view can be related back to the draft design image, showing how its been developed.

When designing the lower gallery space, i wanted it to be a sculpture below ground. The word 'departed' gives the idea of something deceased, dead, buried underground. So that's what ive done. I wanted lite stairs which wouldn't take any focus off the lines of the building, but to just blend in place.


The building has a sculture like form just like both artists work, the 'wings' on the building act like wings on a dead, 'departed' bird sticking out of the ground, this allows the peice of architecture be one with its surrounds.

The curved lines of the building give an 'endless appearance', running in and out of the ground, it captures onlookers attention while they stare not knowing where the building starts or ends just like in Goodwins art. The building can also be inspirational to the artist himself, while working in his work space.

This was the draft design that my model was developed from.
