Final model

Front view: The closest studio was based on the word incongruous, and the back studio on the word limbo. For the final model, I made a pulley system attached to the sculptural form that protrudes from the ground for the 'incongruous' studio as Richard Goodwin's artworks are of a large scale. This is because the stairs, in keeping with the theme of incongruous are not practical for transporting works of this scale. Also i have put a ladder in the underground studio so that the artist can get to the platforms i have created to view these large scale works from different angles.

The materials used in the below ground studio are primarily concrete, cement, metal and glass. The above ground studio is primarily made of glass with concrete slabs. The surroundings are with the texture "aqueous".

Top view: this shows the gallery space that acts as a bridging space between both studios. The gallery is partly outdoors as it accounts for Richard Goodwin's installation works. Its rib-like structure borrows from elements of the 'incongruous' studio, while the idea that it is not a totally enclosed space draws from the inspiration of the word 'limbo' attached to the above ground studio.

The staircase of the 'limbo' studio does not have a balustrade as the word limbo connotes being in a seemingly inbetween space. Therefore the absence of a balustrade heightens one's awareness of one's relative whereabouts. Only with this awareness, can one feel inbetween.

Draft 2

Here I have changed the stairs for 'incongruous' as the last ones weren't functional. They are still of different lengths and sizes. These drafts also have the textures applied to them. On the above studio, 'limbo', the texture is 'translucent' and on the below studio 'incongruous', the texture is 'twisted'. Here I have also combined the spaces to work on them as one and have incorporated the gallery space.
