First Renders

Making changes and responding to the site. Moving on from the revolving door situation, I found it to be much too literal in terms of circulation. The more I tried to develop the design, the less it felt like a breathing space and more just a pavilion design based on aesthetics. It was chunky, not light weight, not very dynamic because while the shutters rotated the structures itself didn't, and I did work through possible solutions but none felt like the kind of breathing space I wanted.

I want a space that will encourage people to talk and experience control over their public space, contrasting public and private as a mode of encouraging discussion within this space. Which is fronting the art and design buildings, so could possibly be used as a mode of expression also or a tool for learning, alongside the galleries needs as well.

I came up with this initial concept of having wooden standard room like frames, which contrast with their environment as they feel very interior, and intimate, these frames had a rail with a silk curtain which can be altered for privacy and intimacy, encouraging people to use the space as a tool to open up in confinement.

The design you see below was realised after a few initial designs, and I came up with this concept to hide the rail for the curtain. so I designed this recessed curtain rail, hereby making sure either side of the structure is not determined as inside or outside, and the dwellers and visitors make this decision, while space building they can define their own intimate structures and layout.
