Development model

3 layers/levels

Starting Idea – This model I made previously inspired by nature. The light brown colour would make a unique structure for my leisure centre instead of the traditional cubed shape

The closer I looked at my building, the more I realised that I could interpret the building in different ways.

I decided to experiment with the idea of the building being 3 storeys high and created an idea where the library is at the bottom, the yoga studio is the smallest building on top of the library and the gym protrudes out the back of the library

Original dimensions of my practice model, sharp, overlapping rectangles creating L shapes

I created 3 buildings using the folds and overlapping as inspiration. These could represent the 3 parts to my leisure centre that I want to create

Taken inspiration from Design Idea 1 and the development,I decided to make use of my original model idea and create two slanted structures that overlap one another with a space in between to connect them both. Instead of having the structure hover above and connect the two structures, I decided to deviate from my model and have the structure that connects the two opposites be smaller. I liked this creation better than the previous ones as it shows contrast and represents the irregularity of nature.The smaller structure represents the yoga studio which has panel windows facing the back so viewers can be connected to nature whilst doing yoga, and the two larger structures represent the gym and the library

I designed this model here with the intention to portray nature through my model, and this is seen here through the wood-like colour of the build and the stacked aspect of it. I gained inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater as the light brown coloured house tiers stacked together represent a riverbank/rocks and I kind of included the idea in my model as my model has two stacked layers, but unlike Wright's which is molded close together and stacked upon each other closely and has a rectangular structure,mine has a bigger gap and the overall shape has a triangular structure.Looking at my model there were various things I found I could do, and I explored that in my drawings in the previous slide. I explored how the triangular shape could be explored into further and be portrayed in different ways, and I managed to show this through 3D drawings and the portrayal of different levels which show the process of change. I also explored what other ways in which I could also experiment with my model, and this is shown with the model above this paragraph.The blue lines are meant to represent extensions to the building,and I quite like how it looks as it continues my idea with the drawings but is more simplistic and shows an outline of what the model will be.
