18 Sketches

First Model

The first model was inspired by the key words of balance and connection of Aiweiwei's bike and Stelarc' performance. Two studios and the gallery are connected by the smooth shell-like walls.I used the "smooth the edge" tool to slick the surface of the polygon and create this dynamic shape in sketchup.

Stairs designed for the first model

This is my first stairs designing for this building.The first floor and second acting as the gallery space are connected by this dual-function stairs case, whose two sides are used for display artwork.Also the footsteps are transparent glasses, allowing people to see the lower artificial lake.
