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.

E-1027, Roquebrune Cap Martin, 1929 by Eileen Grey

The building Roque Cap Martin, also more commonly known as E1027 by Eileen Grey in southern France. The codename, E1027, stands for the names of the couple: E for Eileen, 10 for Jean (the tenth letter of the alphabet), 2 for Badovici and 7 for Gray.

Gray declared: "This house has been built for a person who likes work, sports and receiving friends."

It has two bedrooms, a maid's room, utility rooms and a large space, partitioned with screen furniture, that could serve as a living room, dining area, cloakroom or guest room. The main living area overlooks Monte Carlo harbour and the bedrooms face the rising sun. Service spaces are isolated: the kitchen, adjoining an outdoor cooking space, is separate from the rest of the house. Gray felt that each room should remain independent of the others, arguing that "everyone, even in a house of restricted dimensions, must be able to remain free and independent. They must have the impression of being alone, and if desired, entirely alone." Each room has a balcony and access to the garden.
