The 4 words that represent the main characteristics of the client are:
MALE - The design is simple and so is the client. The walls and floors are square and the structure of the building is robust and of a large scale. Though when being reviewed during the presentation process I was advised that the floors and walls should be thicker so to match the similar, if not the same, structural system of the roof.
TALL - seen in the scale of the building in terms of heights. For example each level is 3000mm from floor to ceiling and in the larger space the maximum height of the roof is obtained at 14000mm. The doors and other openings are also at a minimum of 2400mm. The reasoning behind all this is to amaze and overwhelm the viewer making them feel small or dwarf-like in comparison to the large scale of the building and artworks.
EMOTIONAL - this is visible in the section of the roof stucture. The is a representation of the mood swings the client would encounter showing peaks and troughs that he would overcome during the creation of art. Another adjustment that the reviewer and tutor recommended was to bring the roof down in the middle to break down the three main exhibition spaces and therefore create a sense of enclosure in the second level.
SIMPLE - This can be seen in the overall design and even in the circulation system of the stairs.
On the final drawing of the plan I chose to question the definition of a plan by drawing it as a sectional perspective taken from above. This also helped define the interior spaces and show what each line represents.
The final section is probably the most important drawing for this design as it shows the structure of the building as well as its final shape.
