Draft Model and Texture


This is a draft model using one of the chosen textures. The texture is going to have to be rethought as it needs to be quite pure in colour and texture so that the 'folding' of the re-designed museum can be accentuated. If the texture is too busy then it will detract from the angles and curves which were created as the roof lines.

The Pavillion In Context

This is what the pavillion would look like on the village green.

Expressive Sketches for Re-Invented Vitra Design Museum





I used Frank Gehry's style of sketching to create these expressive sketches for my design concept. They depict the lines and curves I wish to use in my model. They are reflective of Gehry's Hotel which I did for my architectural study in the geometric shapes being contrasted with the flowing lines of the spiral staircases. From these sketches I am thinking that the model will become an outdoor public space for the university. Perhaps used by students as an area to congregate, study or even perform - an outdoor pavillion.
