Assignment 3: Floor plans and Sections

Section plan

This here is my floor plan. Basically the movement of the people is from left to right. They enter from king street and into the shop. The first once they enter are twogallery spaces that are both inclined. there is a ramp for them to move to this area. After the two gallerys is the open coutyard in which more sculptures can be placed. There is also a flight of stiars for people to the second floor in which they then arrive on a viewing platform to look at the scupltures that where seen below.

Then the movement is back down the same flight of stairs and then into another corridor in which there will be another two openings. One leads to the office whilst the other a living room display area. This area is mean to be set up in a similar fashion to how people will set up their living room. In this space is a showroom type space therefore it would have been in a way for people to walk in and understand the atmosphere. This area will also have a skylight in which to allow for direct sun lighting and no requirements for artificial lights.

There is then another courtyard but enclosed, this could be space for work in-progress sculptures. Then it is followed by the workshop which also has a big garage door in which it would allow for loading and unloading of materials and tools or finished jobs. There is still plenty of space in the backyard in which the space could be used for as an outdoor workshop as Ulric is sculptor of nature.

Upstairs is the followed by going either left or right in which it leads to kitchen and storeroom respectively. The kitchen has no lighting but will receive some from the viewing area as it is all clear. Though it is completely omitted of light this also is a dividing of public and private space.

Assignment 3: Case Study

The Lourve Extention


I wish to take this idea into my deigning of my gallery space. I wish to be able to make a spiral staircase in which it can used to move from different levels but also at the same time it acts a viewing area. It would also allow for the viewing of artwork in a different perspective.

Assignment 3: Site Choice

For the this third assignment I wish to choose the long site on King Street (Site 1). The reason for the choice of this was because I wanted to work with a narrower frontage as Site 3 was at least two times wider and Site 2 was a corner block.

In relation to my artist being Ulric Steiner I decided that the longer site would work especially since there is more of a back entrance to the building which could be an easier way of transporting marble and his sculpturing materials and tools.

There is also the park in the back which does give it a slight more natural feel from the busy nature of King Street in Newtown. It could also work as a way to in which he doe most of his works in the open as well as being able to show his exhibits to people there as well and how his work can blend in a garden area.

Assignment 3: Artist

Ulrich Stiener - www.ulric-steiner.com.au

He is a sculptor that mainly works with stainless steel and metal. His work varies from small sculptures to large public exhibition ones. Though most of his work is inspired from when he was brought up in Switzerland and also how he is Glaston which is in the western parts of NSW. Therefore a lot of his work shows works of nature such as: reptiles, birds, aquatic, incests and also mammals.

He also has works that are of the abstract nature and this does consist of wall hangings but also large scale public works. There are also furniture such as dining table which has tree trunk shaped legs for it which thus keeps some form of nature to it.

Assignment 2: Designing the Space

The space that I will design is going to be a public bath house area set on top off a hillside. There will be entrances to the bath house through a corridor at the back and will allow for entrance or for passing through. The two entrances will be to the changing rooms split into male and female. Both these rooms will then be linked to the centre courtyard where there can be access to either changing rooms as well as the main entrance to the open bathing area. The bathing area also has a balcony that will over look the site and will relate back to how people can be seem but there is no one to see them. Also relates to how you can stand there and look out to an open vast area and thus having freedom. Though in the middle of the courtyard, there will be a statue/structure that will impair vision from all three areas thus relating to how you people are unable to see you, but you can also not see them.

In terms of lighting and how light will work around the space is that the courtyard will be open and will have sufficient lighting in it. Though for the changing rooms, the walls will be slightly lower and also slanted to allow for natural lighting to come in. There is also a slit on the wall in the bathhouse, that is high up which means people can't see out of it, and it being small as well. The main purpose of it is to allow for lighting when the sun is directly facing the building.

Assignment 2: Narrative

The woman staring out of the window represents the implication that she wants to be free from being trapped and this is juxtaposed by the sense that she is not wearing anything showing her desire for freedom. As the image is called eleven am,the setting of the picture is during the middle of the day. This them further enacted upon her being naked in the living room, and has a sense of being able to be seen but not being noticed, showing that she wants to be seen but is unable to be seen hence ambiguity.
