Art Gallery

This project design was generated using the compositional method that my Lecturer Robert Tuckwell invented from his research into the architecture of Louis Kahn. As a studio, we provided Kahn inspired concepts to our client: the Mies van der Rohe Society. Dr. Cynthia Vranas, the Director of the Mies can Der Rohe Society, exhibited our concepts to fundraise for their project. : Mies van der Rohe Society Gallery and Auditorium of the Michael Paul Galvin Tower at 10W. 35th St. in Chicago.

There are two entrances to the gallery and some of the exterior and interior walls are complete with stainless mirror finishes. The project illustrates a powerful sense of space through natural light and the materiality of mirrors, stainless steel and concrete which conveys a contemporary style of a gallery. This project allows an understanding of the new spatial methods, designs and forms that can change the way buildings could be constructed.

Concept Development | Composition Sketch

Before designing the Art gallery, I created an experimental art gallery over the 3 weeks. This composition aims to explore solids and engage in spatial explorations.

Composition Plan Sketch Development

I continued to develop on the composition sketches and created some plan ideas.

CAD Floor Plan Development

I moved on to CAD drawing on both compositions. I then started working on those 2 composition plans on SketchUp program.

However, when I created structures, it didn't come out as the way that I wanted. So I decided to develop on the one of the plan and make it slightly different.
