Manouvre, Double-take
I'm quiet pleased with the form of this model. The sizing of the rooms is easier as they are rectangular. However, the materials need consideration. I'm not sure that the simple rendering and glass combination would be best for the exterior. Inside should be kept simple and plain white, as to show off the artworks.

I think this has good potential! The forms are interesting and are begining to work as rooms. However, the sizing is all wrong - its huge! It seemed an obvious choice to put Goodwin upstairs, while Piccinini was below ground. He is linked to nature and the outdoors, while she is mysterious and intruging.
The ideas behind Goodwin's studio:
- glass lets him link with the outdoors. To me this practice seems to be strongly linked to outdoors, as he is an architect and often exhibts into insullations outside.
- the deck will let him work outside which will engage him with nature even more.
- however all glass in the long run might not be practical as he will have no privacy. It also makes his creation very public while Piccinini's is very hidden.
- how is the deck being supported?
The ideas behind Piccinini's studio:
- accomodate for sculpture practices with big area, and for computer design with the small computer lab. This is the orange ball
Remaining considerations:
- what materials should the balls be made of?
- how do I create the floor planes so they fit with the curved walls?
Stairs:
Manouvre, Double-take
There is no way this would work to transport the artworks! So two options:
1. Re do the stairs to be wider, so Goodwin can carry the artwork down the stairs into the gallery.
2. Make the floor of the deck on a pulley system, so it can be lowered to the ground when the artwork needs to be exhibted. The artwork could be carried into the studio via the main gallery enterance.

The same is the case with these stairs, Piccinini's artworks are too big for the stairs. Here the more practical solution would be to make the stairs wider. A pulley system would be hard as it would need to go straight into the gallery (instead of lowering to the ground).
I like the stairs in the gallery: how they lead up to meet Goodwin's studio, how the glass will let light into Piccinini's studio, and how the glass will create a connnection to the underground studio. I like the idea of having a gallery split over wide steps - they could be used to categorise artworks by theme, also there seems to be more interaction with the audience and space, and artworks and space this way (rather than just a flat space).
