Project 3 - Art Gallery, Shop/House
Research:
From the list of art galleries that Xing presented during his lecture last week, please select at least two of them and show in plan the relation between the circulation and the display, and in section the relation between the circulation, the display and the natural versus the artificial light. (This part should have been already started in class during the lecture.) Any other gallery visited or researched?
Site Analysis:
Present your site through a photographic and graphic documentation + a small site/study model at the appropriate scale (1:500). We expect enough information to appreciate your chosen site i.e. not a thousands of photographs but a few selected images + free-hand drawings. A site analysis is a graphic explanation of observations and conclusions about your site. Analytical drawings should show in plan, section and front elevation your site (without the existing building) in relation to the context.
• Any particular element, opening, proportion, height, canopy, texture, material from the two adjacent buildings and from the buildings opposite to your site worth considering?
• Orientation? North Point?
The site model (1:500) should help you to define the volume available for your project.
The site analysis should develop into a site strategy relating the programme to the characteristics of the site.
Programme:
Search and select the kind of artists who are to be exhibited in your gallery (at least two). This choice is important for your design development. Please refer to the project 3 brief p.2 for the client programme.
Project:
Using the site study model at the scale 1:500, play with the space and the volume available + your choice of artists to present at least two alternative study models for your project at the scale 1:500. It must be evident in the models:
1. the relation between the circulation, the display and the
2. natural light
3. the location (without many details at the moment) of the private space for the dealer
4. the location of the courtyard.
