1st floor plan

Starting Idea – This model I made previously inspired by nature.

Library interior floor plan. At the back is the bookshelves and down the middle is carpet (the rest of the floor will be wooden)

Gym floor plan (Used inspiration from John Reed's Fitness for the boxing area)

Shows the exterior of the library and the plan of how it will look. It reminds me of Greek buildings

As I analysed my original model I realised that I could possibly make 3 buldings out of the structure and this can be seen in this drawing, wherefore the library (taking an idea from the previous sketch) is at the bottom, the gym is on top and the yoga studio is the smallest building at the top

Final drawing. The previous building was then developed and turned into this wherefore I changed the layout, the gym is at the bottom, the yoga studio is still on top but has the library in front of it and protruding outwards.

Represents building plan and also shows a mood board of nature (warm autumn leaves). The dark brown/burgundy represents the gym, the orange represents the library and the yellow represents the yoga studio

Taken inspiration from original model and development drawings. I liked the idea of the stacked building as it reminds me of rocks (which is an aspect of nature) and decided to further develop it through this model.The model takes influence from the original model which emphasised levels and this is shown in this model through the use of the 3 levels which represents each part of my building aim. It also takes inspiration from my development drawings as it is derived from my final drawing.

Although I really like this idea,I don't think it is a suitable building for my aim and it wouldn't represent my aims for this project very well as it resembles more of a house rather than a leisure centre.

The inspiration from this model here stems from a Snickers bar.Although the inspiration is not nature based,the model I created could represent nature with the influence of trees.The building is quite tall and will loom over visitors easily, and the middle stature has two parts that could represent two trees, and the part on top that connects the two other parts together could be almost like a canopy. I sourced the picture of the Snickers bar from Pinterest and the more I looked at it, the more I realised that it was perfect for the building,that the two bits of the bar could represent two buildings and the caramel in the middle stretching from one part of the bar to another could represent a smaller building in comparison to the others. I experimented with this idea through my drawings which brought my initial idea for the snickers bar to life through transferring the picture to a 3D drawing,and this is also shown in this model above this paragraph.The blue lines are also meant to represent the buildings extensions and although it tunes in with my drawings and initial ideas, the lines also portrays sharpness to the building.
