Week Five: Day Three

Development

  


(Authors own, 2014)

I used wooden sticks and created the same model in this new material. I like how the wood adds a more calming and fixed effect to the structure as a whole. This model, especially due to the background makes it look like the xray of the interior/foundation of a shelter of some sort.

Idea 2 Final Model

This is my final model for the second idea. The entire model follows a very geometric pattern, only leaving the wooden sticks inside to have some organic reference to them (so that the eating area contrasts in with the main temple). I used acetate to expose the inner constructions of the building referring back to my project proposal.

After working out the design for my add on area, I merged both designs together to create the final floor plan for the temple. I took this design to my clients to get feedback on what to improve, take out:
- Kitchen is too small in comparison to the office.
- Division in the office (shop to buy religious supplies for the devotees and a small office for admin resources).
- Bring add on eating area more forward.
