EXP 3: Moving Elements

VERTICAL LOUVRES

Since the frontal facade of the building is fully glazed,

I decided to place a set of adjustable louvres near the 

entrance to:

1. Block out glare from the sun entering the gallery

2. Create a perforated barrier and allow the building to either seem introverted or welcoming. This is related to my theory of blurring the lines between private and public.

ROTATING GALLERY BOUNDARY

The rotating boundary around the centralised gallery connotes to the idea of discontinuity mentioned in my theory and also the attempt of creating a 'Labyrinthe' like space within the building. The general shape of the Gallery and its boundary is inspired by the Greek Minotaur Labyrinth of Crete.

EXP 3: Draft Lumion Environments

The First Lumion model is a translation of Zaha Hadid's 

Riverside Museum Floorplan to a section.

The Second Lumion environment is an early massing

model of the building. It is a development of the section

derived from Zaha Hadid's floorplan (as can be seen above),

as it retains a warped central form with two protruding arms

that were transformed into bridges connecting the main building

to BlockHouse and SquareHouse.

Zaha Hadid's Riverside Museum Floorplan was the

EXP 3: 18 Sketch Perspectives

I attempted to relate the 18 perspectives to my theory by basing each one off a key word in my concept. The amalgamation of sketches in the two point perspective drawings enforces the idea of merging, splitting, and complicated spatial arrangements which are central to my theory.

                    

EXP 3: Theory

Theory:

"The splitting and discontinuity of opaque structures blurs the line between social and private areas. This entices a sense of surrealism as perforated barriers begin to create labyrinthine spaces."
