Final model

This is my final sketch up model

It is developed quite a lot from the previous one

The main idea of the upper part is focus on the outside shape,,

which use many triangles linked to each other to achieve the idea of stretch

n on the other hand,,

the below ground part is focus on the internal structure

i said it's quite a jump coz i modified the windows which dont hv frame before

and there is no wall thinkness neither  

Also,, the space of this model is greatly increased as there not enough space before on the gallery level

the color n the shape is kind of changed totally

This is one of those cool perspectives

stretching, flipping of triangles wif patterned glassed windows

The section drawing

words of them are stretch and crude

This is the entrance of my model

The use of column and road attracts people to get in

There are still some other functions for those columns that will be mentioned later

The stair is a both practical and visual component

it looks good from outside and people can actually uses it too

Circulation of the model

This is the circulation section of my model

At the entrance they can either get to upstair or explore in the gallery first

when they finished the gallery on the ground level,,

they can either use the spiral staircase to the base

or they can get upstair by the extra stair case, so the don't have to get upstair back to the entrance again

The is the actual view of the ground level

This is the circulation of the upper studio

Louise's office is located on the left

After finish the gallery,,

There is a open area for relaxing

i think it's needed as Louise's artwork is so heavy n stressful

people can use the stair at the entrance to get down

A view of Louise's studio with extension of gallery

If they choose to go down stairs

They will first get to the social room for taking rest,,

and then to Ai wei wei's studio

The use of columns

There are columns through out the whole model

Apart from showing entrance,,

those columns hold the studio below ground,,

which requires support to for the pressure

it looks more building like after adding those columns as well

The final use of the columns is hanging artwork or big television

Textures

4 textures are applied to my model

 opaque

opaque is applied to every windows of my model to provide privacy inside

And the internal side of glass is transparent

so the landscape outside can be seen for internal viewer

oxidised

oxidised is applied to the external n internal walls of Ai Wei Wei's studio

particle

particles is used on the ground surface of the gallery n the studio

It is used to distinguish the "gallery area" and moving area shown below as well

strong

All of the major walls are added "strong" as a texture to increased its strength by intense n heavy straight lines

Lighting

My model grabs natural sun light gradually in the desert

The location of windows makes light available in every area of the building

And some of them are used to highlight important places

for example,, the big window located on the right side of the image below highlight the photos of Ai Wei Wei n Louise, which meant to be the introduction of two artists

And the two windows on the left side of this model spot on the office of Louise Bourgeois

This is my first building hahahaha~~
