Project 3 : Art Gallery

After consideration of the type of art i would like to incorporate and the dealers description i decided than an environmentally aware art dealer with an interest in conserving the environment would have an interest in passive solar lighting. So in order to incoporate passive solar lighting i studied a few creative ways in which previous architecture has done so:

The type of art i worked with my gallery was Recycled art being a way or expressing art without the traditional formalities of art, this seemed very appropriate to the context and i aimed to incorporate this into my gallery design.

Some art images i looked at for inspiration:

Site choice:

I chose to work with site 1 as i belived it would be challenging to myself to try and design a building in such a awkward site. Although a challenging site there were many benfits of this site, some that site 2 and 3 didnt have. It contained a front and rear access, was within close proximity of car park, has sufficent amounts of passive solar access into external courtyard at the rear of the building. This site is enables the passive solar lighting at rear i am to incorporate in my design as a significant feature.
