Final Design Concept and Presentation:

The building I have designed speaks to the public and expresses itself as a piece of abstracted art and therefore before entering the gallery, the public already become aware of the style of art being displayed and sold.

The gallery space is to constantly change and adapt to the upbeat energy of Newtown. The art gallery will continually present exciting, dramatic and provocative works of art to the people of Newtown.

Abstract art seems to be the most relevant style of art to market within Newtown in regards to the personalities, fashion and energy present within the suburb.
                            
                                         Floor Plan and Roof Plan Scale 1:100:

The architecture becomes a work of art within itself displaying abstracted elements and forms. Famous Kandinsky artworks were used to form the plan, grid and roof system of the art gallery. The different forms and shapes grab our attention and pull an emotional response from the viewers which keep them drawn in  from King Street. Gallery contains a Minimal design yet holds high functionality and flexibility as a commercial gallery.

Although the architecture is slightly abstracted to form a connection and relevance to the artworks, the final design has become quite simple and minimal allowing the artwork to do all of the talking to the viewers with the possibility of increasing sales.

The gallery contains large adaptable and open spaces which may house sculptures, models and paintings of all scales. The circulation path formed within the gallery contains easy transition throughout the spaces with little obstacles.

The building contains a constant ceiling height with slight level changes between each of the gallery spaces becoming gestures which create interest throughout the gallery.

Perspective Vignettes of Art Gallery Interior and Exterior:

Large scale façade faces King Street and demands public’s attention with its uninterrupted mass. Façade acts as a form of enticement and provokes individuals to enter the gallery with an unintentional urge to reach the art being displayed within the façade.

Gallery contains a Minimal design yet holds high functionality and flexibility as a commercial gallery. Roofing system allows different levels of natural and artificial lighting to filter throughout the gallery.
