ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING: INDIVIDUAL REPORT OLIVER BALDOCK
The design developed around the desire to reference the existing roof and the original structure. Our initial reaction was to maintain the proportions of the space and the existing frieze as key elements of the space, intrinsic to its unique character and architectural value as a distinctive spatial experience within the museum. As the design progressed, a more rigorous consideration of the original roof led to an interest in how the relationship between curved and orthogonal elements could be harnessed to generate an authentic yet contextual spatial experience. i: 1:100 model of internal roof structure.
