Some Initial Ideas

Here are some initial ideas that i've come up with, as (tutor) Anna suggested that we dont start designing yet, but make very clear the ideas we wish to convey regarding the ideas, and how rooms will relate with regards to this. That was how we were to build our narrative first.


Some initial ideas conveying the theme. I thought i'd really push the idea of lighting and thought of possible ways i could manipulate light as a photographer like Jullieit does, to make advantageous for her gallery.
Jullieit's work is a strong part of her life, carrying a camera with her at all times; at the same time however, her online status segregates her works from her lifestyle; and her professional works are kept strictly separated from her leisure shots. This relationship makes for a very interesting interaction as far as rooms are concerned.

To reflect this, the three primary spaces of Living space, Studio/workshop and Gallery will be interlocked although with very solid boundaries as far as transition is concerned.


I also thought about this from an elevational point of view. Perhaps her private life becomes more and more segregated as one moves further from the ground (most accessable) floor? this would be indicative re. the wherabouts of the gallery and living area etc..


With regards to that, i came up with less a 'circulation diagram' but rather a connectivity and accessability diagram of the required rooms, which do not show the whereabouts of rooms, but the links between them which would best reflect the said connection.

Here are some basic ideas of interlocking masses to give me a rough idea of mass placement
