Assignment 3 - Final Idea

The final concept was decided to be based on the idea that photographs capture "moments" in our lives. They preserve a piece of our lives. So each element of the building is tailored to fit this idea of a lifeline, with highlighted moments in time.

The front facade has a series of metal bars criss-crossing over the face of the building, with various glass windows created by the metal bars. These windows represent the "moments" in time captured by the camera. This facade is imitated on the back face of the building as well.

This interior of the building shows the main gallery room with the stairs leading up to the workshop, store room and living area. This room has a really big window on the northern side allowing lots of natural light in. The other rooms have less natural light, and in some cases none.

This shot is from the back area of the building. This shot shows the main window allowing light into the main gallery. It also shows the skylights allowing light into the minor galleries and the rear facade.

This picture shows the interior spaces of the first level. It shows the stairs that lead up to the workshop, store room and living area.
