DESIGN PROJECT 03 ARTIST STUDIO

Project Summary

An artist is a creative person who spends time to express their creativity through different media. Some through Painting, some through dance and others through other different art forms using nonconventional media such as metal, glass, clay and visual technology Regardless of the medium they use, every artist seeks to express their ideas, ideals and emotions in a creative manner. In this day and age, advances in science and technology has opened a broader range of artistic media for creative individuals, ranging from digital media, interactive art installations as well as the peculiar niche of street art, graffiti, and art created using industrial by products

In this project the students are expected to design a small free-standing building which is a studio cum Bedsitter for a creative artist at a selected site. This studio should mainly respond to both the character of the artist and the art form However the specific features and patterns of the immediate context in which it will be built will also need to be acknowledged when the design is done. Each student is expected to select an artist known to them It should be someone you are able to interview, talk to and go and see how their art form is created, performed or done This is critical since you will be required to understand and analyse the artist as your client for whom you are mainly designing this precinct for and also understand how he or she carries out activities when indulging in the artistic studio work in order for the studio to complement and provide the best possible space and atmosphere for the purpose for your client.
