_ The idea behind this concept was fairly simple. I wanted to use the internal form of a circle within the rectangular site. I thought it may be an interesting way of allowing circulation through the building, as well as the possibility of having retractable walls so the inner shape of a circle is visible from the exterior. However the concept quickly took over the practicality of the site, and the structure itself became very squashed and confusing.
_IDEA TWO_
Similarly with the first idea, this concept was dismissed because it lacked the straight-forwardness I was wishing to use. With my gallery focusing on street and urban art, and embodying this relaxed vibe, it seemed ridiculous to have a gallery that splintered off into a million places like a maze.
I did however take from this concept the idea of the back courtyard moving out towards the lane ways and the living quarters being detached from the gallery.
