Above - sectional model, the section is taken in that way in order to provide us with better perspectives and establishes where exactly the light can be provided to the spaces within the art gallery. This also shows the main space in the center being the cube, this is a pivotal space within the art gallery as it connects different spaces together.
This room depicts how light enters the gallery at the main hallway which can also provide the public with a path towards the cube and enough lighting combined with artificial lighting to view the art and sculptures. There is also visibility of king street so that the gallery can still remain in the context of newtown.
This is a group model the team created together, it is a handy tool in seeing how the art gallery fits in with part of the site. It was created at 1:200 and I made a replica 1:200 model of my art gallery. From this we can see that I was trying to maintain privacy however still keeping that attracting characteristic once in front of site 3.
This image shows the two different elements of the section and how they can interlock to form a whole, it also shows how walls play a key role in creating spaces as well as impeding the light sources and making some more darker private spaces.
This front section shows how the cube sits in the gallery and how the entire gallery works around the display cube and how from almost any point in the gallery the display cube is visible to any client.
This section shows a more private space of the gallery where the apartment and kitchen is located. It would be unpleasant to locate an apartment at the front of the gallery, this was the reason behind placing them towards the back end of the gallery.
This is a front view of the sectional model, the glass is relatively smudged however we can still get an idea of how the glass starts to work well with the concrete finish. This also supports the idea of attracting the clients once they discover the gallery through the glass elements and therefore want to go in and have a look.
This is my complete model, which does not use the entire site because I wanted it to stand alone from the other surrounding buildings making it a piece of artwork on its own. It also allows for other things such as access down the left and right hand sides as well as a rear entry for stock delivery and other places to park cars etc.
MAIN IDEAS:
GALLERY STUDY: Limerick City Art Gallery
Artist Study: Gregory Euclide, Comtemporary forms of art ( Nature + Building)
Fascade Level 1: parallel to street, more appealing to clients.
Striped window wall- Surrounding building + not yet placed garden represents form of artwork.
Entrance - small, allows for gradual discovery of art gallery
Display area- 4 corners-4 separate items, automatic doors allows for easy access in or out.
Office/Shop: buy art, formal small place, placement at front for reception like service and exiting when buying something.
Storeroom: situated a far back as possible connect with real lane access, driveway for delivery of stock and artwork.
Circulation of lower level- allows for visitor to look at art while moving, direct path with very small variation in direction changes.
Stairway: connection between levels, situated far end to not disrupt art viewing.
Exit: owner exit through the back to car or lane.
Apartment/Kitchen- partially separated yet close to the workspace of the artist.
Bridges-allows for overlooking of art in cube display, allows for paintings to be shown along walls of bridge, is a connection between interior art spaces and workspaces and courtyard.
Facade level 2- transparency, allows for light to enter, parallel to keep it related to the site.
Courtyard- allows for view of street frontage, most life on this side of the site, life in newtown, light also gets in to the gallery.
Circulation Level 2: promotes movement, 2 separate routes, join back together at the courtyard, movement is also a journey through the gallery allowing the visitor to view as much as they can.
Roof- Shows that for each time of the day light can pass through either side, shape is due to the light being projected down into the artwork on the second level also touch the glass, this glass also can light up in different ways in different times of the day. Finally, it is higher than the surrounding buildings.
