Jacques-Yves Cousteau

For Jacques-Yves Cousteau's lab I'm particularly interested in the idea of "beneath" from the quote I selected. In that case, the lab I am going to design will be shroud of mystery and surreal feelings.

I have chosen this model to make further development

Final Submission

This is the model for final submission. The above -ground studio and under-ground studio are for Fiona Hall and Tracy Moffat respectively. The word for Fiona Hall's studio is ORGANIC, it is about the material used in studio more than the organic shape which would be too superfacial and obvious. The word for underground studio is RECONCILIATION, it is about the interaction between people, space and light and how they "communicate" with each other.

My model is not based on any particular sketch I did in first week. However, it develops through series sketches and 3D models, with the help from tutorial and some inspirations from different designers.

Above ground studio and exhibition spaces are designed to be a temporary architecture which means they could be easily disassembled and move to somewhere else needed. In that case, I designed a relatively medium size exhibition space which could be more practical when artists want to exhibit in some suburban areas.

The below-ground studio tends to be more permanent, in that case I have used sand stone for the stairs as its high durability.
