The second problem we approached in the design process was to take a close look at the facade of the building, which is a mural that leaves little reference to the interior form other than its a rectangular box. In reality the facade is merely a thin envelope that holds something within it, not necessarily eluding to what that something is. After studying the facade we were to design the interior in a fantastical way, relating to the facade or not. I started with two models one that used the forms within the mural and extruded them within the depth of the form and the second was a more orthogonal articulation of plans where the voids and lines created spaces. The far out model was a labyrinth of spaces and forms that didn't allow much realistic value. The other was too much of just a line study. For the final development in this small project I attempted to marry the two ideas; creating a labyrinth with a series of planes, masses, extruded boxes, and voids. This project allowed my design to step by from the usual structure of well structural feasibility, spaces of actual program, circulation and other design hazards but truly let my imagination run free with the forms and spaces. Images to follow.
