Assignment 3 - Art Gallery

The following is an art gallery based on site one in King Street Newtown. It is to house Aboriginal art work with a natural progressive flow through time.
The gallery represents the natural land that Aboriginal people are at one with. It is also like a makeshift art gallery, to represent how Aboriginal people live and how their houses are able to be disconnected so it looks like the land has not been disturbed.



















































The following is a retreat designed based on the Edward Hopper painting.
The narrative for the design "A retreat for a heartbroken girl brought about by a letter" is about the process of the "healing" after a relationship ends.
The first section is about reflecting on the relationship and where is went wrong. It represents the darker more complicated times.
The second progression represents the time needed to reflect by ones self and "find themselves again.
The third progression represents when the person is ready to socialise and venture back into the world.
Each level has its own entry and the final level has an exit for the healed girl to leave at a level appropriate to her feelings.
