Google Sketch Up - Concept 2 - Final Copy

Overall Composition
Cross- Section
Top: Creation, Bottom: Grotesque  -  Materials: The workshop above the datum is now predominantly made of Tasmanian Oak. I chose this material to emphasis the connectivity the artist has with nature, and thus, adhering to the word 'creation'. Below the Datum is majorly Brown Australian Sandstone and large walls of glass. I used this to mirror Mueck's manipulation of form and space. Furthermore, the landscape of stalagmites and stalactites I created evoke sculptures that are naturally occuring. By surrounding the artist in this atmosphere (coupled with the glass for viewing), I believe it would inspire the sculptor for his future projects.

The Gallery



Mueck's Workshop - Below Datum

Staircase - Going Down
Materials: The staircase is comprised of Tasmanian Oak for the tread, with my custom texture on the side (The word solid was the influence). The railings is made of glass. I believe the Oak creates a consistency with the overall workshop and in tandem with the cantilever structure, heightens the connectivity to land - a prominent factor for indigenous painters. The glass, on the other hand, plays with the light, clearly highlighting the 'air' element of the workshop.
Staircase - Going Up
Materials: As a consequence to design changes, the material of this staircase is now Australian Sandstone Bricks. Not only does this resonate with the overall workshop, it also gives the space presence. In line with the client, Mueck, I wanted him to make a 'grand entrance' with each new piece of art he brought - the magnitude of his works, I interpreted as a part of his somewhat flamboyant personality. I believe the circular lake at the top of the staircase (or the ramp to the gallery for bigger works), certainly highlights this idea.
