Model: 3d analysis and light study

From this viewpoint, it is apparent that light penetrates well through the design; all the way back to the rear courtyard, primarily via the open modular skylights. This also shows the 'depth of layers' in the modular aspect of the design.
This is a perspective view of the entrance looking on to the main gallery. As is shown, from different angles, the modular facade that breaks the main gallery space at the interior gives a more compact interior feel at this angle. The facade of the workshops with their openings is also designed to be 'pictures' that compliment the sculptures that will be displayed.
This is a study of the front facade on an exterior level. As can be seen the play of light sets the facade alight, in the evenings this building will look beautiful.
A light study of the skylight. The skylight gives a radiating glow amongst the main gallery, a perfect place to place a statue.
A light study of the interior courtyards light capacity. With a view from the front, the courtyard sets out to do want it needs to, it brings an extra layering to the building, the light inlet sets the stairs and the interior modular facade alight, in the evenings artificial light here also will draw viewers with its beauty.
A more 'intense' anaylsis. As is shown, heavy artificial light however, will not be effective, sombre lighting is needed to set the building alight.
A study of the 'roof holes' in the rear of the building. The modular design of the roof elements is shown here.
Again from the rear looking forward to the front. The modular aspect of the openings is shown here.
The elevation of the roof levels, shown from the side. Each module of the building, 'main gallery', 'stair gallery', 'courtyard area', 'apartments', is shown. Also light inlets at both ends for the apartment and the main gallery are designed to give some extra depth to the building, via light.
Front on light study in section. As is shown,the quality of light varies between differing spaces, showing many different oppurtunities for the artist to display works of all kinds. Also the levels and modules are shown well here. The buildings section is designed to speak to the plan in this regard, both are modular. Also the balcony spaces that 'encapsulate' the sculpture spaces, are shown.
The same analysis treated on the long gallery section, this highlights of this are the openings that stand out, the quality of light in this section is much 'darker' in a sense, a design aspect that is key to giving the building some depth and layering of circulation.
Front on light study in birdseye, this shows the quality of light penetrates through to the rear of the building.
Front on light study analysis, shown from street level. As is shown, even with little light, the play of shadow and facade highlights the different gallery spaces here
