Finished Model

ABOVE: Tracey Moffat Studio: "Fourth"

The inspired word for the studio was embrace, taken from Tracey's artwork, Fourth. I have kept the materials quiet simple and earthy, by using plain bricks around the outside and on the floor. I have used white walls to heighten the word "embrace". The artwork is quiet small, so i intended to keep the interior simple.

The texture here was inspired by the word "Psychedelic". I have put it only along a small section in this studio, as i didnt want the focus to be taken away from the artwork.











MIDDLE:

This is the "middle" level, that connects the above ground studio to the below ground studio.

I have a spiral staircase which connects Tracey's studio to this level. Connecting to Fiona Halls studio is 2 sets of stairs, which i have integrated into the wall.

I have used just a plain white walls, keeping to a simple and modern interior and shape design.

The texture here was inspired by the word "Flowing". I have used this texture on the roof as i feel it would have been to busy for the walls and floor.










BELOW: Fiona Hall Studio: "Hold Fast"

This studio is for Fiona Hall, and her artwork from her exhibition "Force Field", "Hold Fast". The inspirational word for the space is "Flattern", thus why i have designed the space long and flat. I have used some simple materials, such as graphite on the main floor. The middle section of floor is water, creating a calming affect within the studio.

The inspirational word for the texture is "sharp", and i have used it on one face of the stairs, which creates an interesting effect when looking up at them.

Piece of architecture


This "Green" house is situated in the city of Chicago, featuring solar-electric generation system and a rain water system. The windows have also been strategically designed to use natural lighting.

Year 12: Design and Technology major work: Tree Lamp

The base of the lamp has been made from a heavily grogged clay, which then has been painted with brown acrylic paints. The glass lampshade has been formed using a "slumping" technique, which involves heating glass over a clay mold, enabling it to fall into shape. Lights have been wired up through the tree branches and the white paint illuminates the lights under the lampshade.
