Missed you at studio today - last tute before submission.
Make sure you note submission time and dates. All elements called for in the marking schedule for exp. 1 (see link in exp. 1 brief) must be posted on blog. Missing elements will mean blog is marked as a non-submission.
In the meantime, post some images up of how your design has progressed to get some feedback via this comments function.
Additionally, some general comments for everyone in the group to think about over the next few weeks:
Support: Walls have a thickness need to be min. 300mm thick to play a structural role. If your building looks like it's made of paper or cardboard, you'll need to correct this.
Light: How do you get light into the different spaces?? Have a look at the examples of gallery spaces on our group blog and look at how light is admitted to the space and where it comes from - an opening in the roof, high up in the wall, down through a multiple-height space.
Scale: Consider the size of a human in your model in comparison to the size of the spaces. As a rule, a studio space should have a ceiling height of about 4-5 metres max. There may be some areas in the studio where the ceiling height could be smaller, to a minimum of 2.4 metres.
The gallery space can have a higher ceiling height, between 4 and 6 metres. This will establish some sense of hierarchy between the each of your studio spaces and the gallery space.
