We were asked to choose a current artist, research their studio, and use them as inspiration to design a resident artist studio in the Gatewood (IARC/Art) Building. I was assigned the loading dock area which is on the ground floor along with the wood shop, foundry, and ceramics studio. The space is a large concrete square and not much natural light enters into it. The artist was considered our "client" but other visiting artists may come so I needed to consider that while I was designing the space.
This is my final presentation board. Below is how I got here.
Loading Dock
I chose Ron Arad, a well known furniture designer & architect, because I really enjoy his use of arches, curvilinear lines, and industrial materials. I tried to incorporate those elements into this space while keeping the original style of the Gatewood Building in mind.
His furniture design.
His well known Bookworm bookshelf.
This is the first SketchUp model I made.
