Design Studio 3- Art Gallery Final Model

Final Model- Gallery Space

The facade fits into the surrounding buildings on the street. The horizontal lines and the evenly punctuated windows are used in a more modern style. The skylights on the roof are defined by the central scultural glass element that trancends from roof level through to the ground floor. This brings natural light into the gallery.

Multiple levels link to each other through theses glass walls. The geometrical elements intertwine creating intricate passageways for the visitor to journey through.


The play between light and dark is strong in the design. The underground rooms are cold and poorly lit whereas the upper levels are well lit from windows and the glass courtyard.

Solid elements contrast to the glass centre. These are the thick column that extends from the ground level to the roof , the billboard as you enter and the dividing structure between these elements.

Art Works for Gallery Space

Mike Parr

Cuban 1, 1991. Set of 12 Prints.

The intertweaving of spaces over the canvases inspires me. I would like to incorperate this idea of movement within geometrical bounds into my design.

Primitive Gifts 2, 1991 Set of 12 prints.

The contrast of black and white in this artwork is important. I will also use this in my work.

Julie Rrap

I want to create a space specifically for video art. the space will emphasise the confronting nature of these artworks.

I will also incorperate spaces for various art mediums including sculpture, photographs and paintings.
