Ideas From Clients Exp 2
"Perhaps my factories will put an end to war sooner than your congresses: on the day that two army corps can mutually annihilate each other in a second, all civilised nations will surely recoil with horror and disband their troops."

"My motive in seeking out new sites to explore, in diving even deeper, in staying below even longer, in filming, in fighting, was, certainly, the satisfaction of my curiosity about the sea. But it was also an emotional, almost sexual need . . . I was biologically drawn to the sea, but I knew very well that I would never succeed in possessing it totally."

"Obviously, when you make a breakthrough, it is very exciting. But I get very excited regularly about small results in the lab, which would mean nothing to lots of people."

Development of Stair Design
The stairs which lead to the upper studio space. (Rumination) The tread and the rise are constructed of concrete to maintain material fluidity within the model.
The staircase which leads to the lower studio space. (Tantalize) The spiral staircase evokes a tantalizing sense, utilizing a custom texture (Luster) and a glass balustrade.
An examination of the developed stairs utilized in the final model.
Final Sketchup Model
An image with an exterior wall hidden to highlight the relationship of the gallery and the studio above it.
The completed model for artists Fiona Hall and Rosalie Gascoigne. Hall's studio space was below ground and the word used as a basis for the design was "tantalize". This studio incorporates the use of a custom texture (intense) to emphasize how obsessive a tantalizing thought can become. Rosalie Gascoigne's studio above the gallery space features the use of glass windows to underline the "rumination" involved in the design process. The offset windows and wall structures provide limitless opportunity for the mind to explore. The gallery features the simplistic use of materials. Concrete slab constitutes the majority of the building both whilst glass has been used to counter its heaviness. The initial notebook section sketches for this particular model were posted on this blog earlier.

Further Sketchup Development
Further development images including custom texture applications and the inclusion of artists works.
