Sketch Problem 1

Folks.... below is my solution to the first Sketch problem..... I am interested in feedback, and will happily revise the layout if necessary, but I think the solution is valid. I have addressed all of the major design elements as stated, ie. inside/outside, main entry, large sub-space, small sub-space, transition space connecting the two..... I have gone with a gradual transition which slowly brings the user into the object trouve space.... there are ample glimpses offered into the o.t. space to help build mystery and interest....... I am trying to take the user on a journey into that space and slowly reveal the art inside as the journey progresses......

Pete, excellent first attempt. I like the use of columns. You almost have a relationship going between the positive forms (columns) in the room and negative voids (windows?) in the exterior walls. What if you added a couple more negative columns in the wall between the large and small spaces. Kind of giving the viewer a tease of the other room, or intrigue. OR, the voids could work in tandom with the art exibit giving it another appearance.

Peter,
Clear inside/outside, large space/small space, hierarchies between openings for space transitions and simple gaps in the space defining elements. I would love to see your labels to understand where you see the different spaces, zones and transitions (I definitely see many).
I don’t quite see the large space with the distinct sub-spaces? The sequence from large space to small space is quite interesting; abrupt transition, hallway with connection to the outside, glimpses of small space with OT, lead transition from hallway to small space. I’m missing the gradual transition in your composition; the transition that utilizes a space that is part of either space to make the connection.

Great input.... I will definitely explore this further and attempt to address some of your points....

Pete,
I think you might want to consider giving the person "choices". Currently, there is only one path through the space.

Peter, please be also very clear about the use of the walls; does the doubling or trippling of the walls help the space definition or is it part of some manieristic play (not a bad thing, but needs to be fully understood)
