These are some new skecthes that I have been developing after the tutorial feed back last week. I have been constantly refereing to my breif to make sure it alligns with my design.

New Sketces

These are some of the sketches I have been developing in Sketchup. I have really been concentrating on the idea of the blank canvas, and have tried to leave large expansences for digital possibilities.

Concept Development Sketches

I have been playing around with the idea of the gallery. I have been looking at the spatial qualities of the art gallery and expressing them in the composition of the structures.

Preliminary Sketches

I have started my to do some design sketches. My concept is to create a blank canvas that will have digital projection at night, and a box that can be opened up during the day. It will represent an art gallery type arrangement with art pieces hanging from the bridge.

References

I have found a great book about architecture and digital design. It discussed the way in which digital advancements have allowed architects to have a lot more freedom in the way they design. The book is called 'Blobitecture' and explaines the way in which the contemporary 'bloby' shape is a result of the effect of digital programing, drawing comparisons to the work of Frank Ghery.
