Whole Shot Animation

This animation travels far back getting the whole structure in the picture. The animation zooms in and then travels around the structure to the left. this enables the viewer to see the structure from all angles. The music that is played in the three animations is by Gotye and the song is called "Piece of a Puzzle missing".

Structural Cut Animation

Through this animation I decided to travel across through the structure. I found this to be effective as one can see all the structural elements rooms and textures that i have used. One can also got a better perspective of the studios, especially the studio under ground that is surrounded by mountains.

Birds Eye View Animation

This animation starts off with a birds eye approach to the stricture. The animation continues to travel down through the building capturing each level and furthermore each room. it continues all the way down to the underground studio.

Structure and Balustrades of my Stairs

The stairs leading to the above ground studio are unique in structure. The main materials of the stairs would consist of wood, concrete, glass and steel for structure and support. The stairs themselves would be made out of concrete and steel netting to create a strong and supportive structure as highlighted by the thickness in the pictures. The structure and design of the stairs can be broken up. The first component of the stairs is the base on the ground level. This consists of two entry points that meet on a landing. Underneath the landing is a large concrete and steel framed box like figure that creates the basis support for the stairs and even part of the roof. In the middle of the stairs there is another landing,used structurally and for ease to the people who want to walk to the top without it being too steep. At this Landing there are large concrete beams that join the roof to the stairs. The pressure is pushed down to the base of the stairs. the last component of the stairs is the stairs joining to the upstairs. All landings have wooden floorboards. For safety and support glass sheets will be acting as balustrades. These glass balustrades surround the balcony up top and join to the concrete walls. The balustrades are fixed in slots down the sides of the stairs and are re-fixed to the concrete beams in the mid landing creating extra support. the glass sheets also encompass the entry landing also for safety. The stairs were inspired by Gascoigne's artwork 'Rocky Road' as they are angular and protrude at different angles and each component is integral not only for the stairs to stand but for the building to stand.

Similarly to the stairs leading to the upstairs studio the main materials would consist of concrete, wood, glass and metal for multiple purposes. To create strong firm stairs to withhold the pressure of being underground they would be made of concrete and metal netting as highlighted by the thickness. The stairs leading to the underground studio are in an enclosed tunnel like structure that would also be made on concrete for support. The stairs are wide and descend slowly with multiple landings made with wooden floorboards on top. As the stairs are enclosed and descend slowly the walls act as the balustrades. Lastly as the entry point of the stairs is an open square to ensure safety there are glass sheets acting as balustrades. The slowly descending stairs are symbolic of life and death which is totally relevant to Hall's artwork 'Understory'. The stairs highlight the inevitable death of organic matter.

Studio Spaces + Textures

(Word: Cranium, Underground, Texture 'Rigid' applied to walls)

This is the type of studio that I would imagine Fiona Hall working in to create this sculpture called Understory from her exhibition Force Field. The room is cold and morgue like, which could have inspired her to create this morbid theme. The room gives the appeal of being clinical and sterilised. The colours are stark opposites being white and black. There is a black cross in the far wall as the backdrop for the artwork. The black symbolises death which coincides with the message of the cross. The black cross has reference to life and death, being another inspirational factor. There are multiple cylinders and curved objects throughout the studio that are all stark white, which relate to the most organic curved object; the skull. Interestingly Hall's studios is underground below the mountains. The room is long and thin with no windows. The room is symbolic of a coffin again representing death. The feeling that i have created for Hall's studio is rather dark and depressing symbolic of her artwork.
