Submission! The Model

The model is built from matboard, white card, limited foamcore, acetate sheet and glue. I have cut slightly off the axis but at a similar angle, allowing one to see what happens along such a diagonal path.
Main Entrance at the rear.
So many entries to choose from...

The sectional cut.
This attempts to show the approximate axis on which many elements are based (note also how the height of the peepshow room has been lowered to a more intimate level (2.1m) ). The window of that room has also been made an actual circular hole for some extra distinction.

Interiors
Whilst cut on a diagonal section, floors and roof are also removable where possible to give one a better navigation and investigation of the building design.

Frontal facade
This is rather literal but i think the effect is quite befitting. The fact that the small windows are low mean there is no direct, harsh light on the artworks. Possible glare through large windows are eliminated by satin curtains.

Side facade
Note how its start blends in with the King St facade, whilst it desintergrates into more human scaled windows as it reaches more private space.


A more perspectived view of Rear-main entrance and courtyard.

The angles that suggest projection from the railings have been simplified but the idea remains. The courtyard can also be used for displaying larger works.

This was created by making a frame from acetate sheet, and filling it with glue, letting it dry, then applying more glue. It looks a quite a lot like water, but i find the effect surprisingly pleasing.
