Our group has chosen to design a Games Gallery. James researched games from different decades to feature in the gallery and created a website to showcase this research. Danny focused on interior design elements like doors, windows, lighting, and themes. He created design concepts and surveyed others for feedback. Michael and another member worked on the exterior building design, combining their concepts into a final design with a futuristic, postmodern style inspired by their research. They presented the full project, incorporating everyone's individual contributions to the interior, exterior, and content of the Games Gallery.
Game Gallery - Project
- 1. Our group have chosen to design a Games Gallery, This is due to all our Degree Paths. AIM •Create a gallery that appeals to all ages •For it to be informative but interactive •For it to be unique from what is normally expected of a gallery
- 2. Material Research I looked at this building because I think that it brilliantly exhibits one of the quality's that is required for our museum. The relationship between the materials used in creating the structure and the actual function of the site. This particular building is a mass camp used for creating costumes for Luton's annual carnival which are often created using materials such as iron sheet and bamboo this subtly coincides with the buildings materials which also reflect the materials used to create carnival costumes .
- 3. Reasearch: Denver art museum Sharp bold shapes and lack of symmetry define the buildings futuristic characteristics Interesting glass bridge connecting to another site
- 4. Plan view The plan of the building again highlights the designs randomness in shape. Large spaces centred around exhibits A few spaces With crowd seating
- 5. Initial Design Ideas Attempt to recreate the gaming theme through the buildings façade by using Tetris blocks From the plan view it resembles the T symbol in Tetris and from the side the L and Z symbol slotted together
- 7. Development I added glass and a colour scheme to the design in attempts to add to its aesthetics and try to bring a futuristic theme to the exterior However I still thought design was lacking Fortunately when discussing this with the other exterior designer in our group he had a design which matched mine and we decided to combined them
- 8. Final Design We also experimented with the surrounding landscape
- 9. Final design
- 10. Initial Design Plan View This design was greatly influenced by the randomness of shape of the Denver art museum I attempted to re create a futuristic theme by creating a design with no symmetry and a random shape alike the Denver museum
- 12. Development The first addition I made were to add windows I widened this block in attempts to create more open space for the exhibition I also tilted the roof of the left tower block
- 13. Final Design I decided to add a glass bridge it was inspired by the gallery in Denver I connected the bridge to a new right wing which has a large amount of open space perfect for the gallery rooms I also decided to put a slant on the new wing to add a bit of sharpness to the façade in attempts to reach the target futuristic aesthetic
- 14. Secondary research was done by looking in the ‘Metric Handbook’, these diagrams show how to deal with the essentials in a Museum/ Gallery. Through this research I have learnt how to deal with: -Lighting -Layout -Planning -Shape -Space
- 15. Greater London Authority Building by Foster and Partners The movement for this building is post modern, and it gave the idea circular shape for design, I was attracted to the idea of using the glass in that motion. The Morumbi Residence by Drucker Arquitetura The complex structure of this design over shadows the simplicity of the shapes
- 16. Concept 1 (Shown Concept 3 (Shown Below) was also inspired Below) is a building I’ve by my research however designed which was the shape was made in inspired by my research order to match our and other post modern ‘Interior Designer, buildings. Danny’s’ Layout. Concept 2 (Shown Above) was designed with a vision for entertainment due to our purpose.
- 17. This concept was developed in order match a floor plan that was already designed, however the style and aesthetics were created for space and to create a tour through the evolution of gaming.
- 18. This design was made to give an experience to all gamers, the circular shape was made in order to guide the potential audience around through the ages of games from how they were first developed to the age of how games are advanced today. The upper terraced was to be used as a café.
- 19. This concept was inspired by post modern buildings, its exterior shape was developed through forming together different shapes. The exterior appearance were followed by the aesthetics of certain buildings.
- 20. This design was taken through many development stages, and this final part is a chosen piece for our final design.
- 21. Michael and I decided to join our designs, because we liked both designs as well as both concepts helped to share the how we contributed on the design.
- 22. This is the final product of what we’ve developed for our Games Gallery, this design show the movement of being post modern and also gives an exciting atmosphere.
- 23. Now over to James!
- 24. Games Research My job was to find games to be the content of the Games Gallery First started in week 3 Finished in week 15 Did research into the history of games
- 25. Website Part 1 Originally thought about creating a database but chose a website instead. I started to research basic web design I chose to use Weebly (www.weebly.com) to create my website
- 26. Website pt 2 After choosing Weebly I started to create my website. I created one web page per decade Also I created a contact us and employment page Here is a picture of my website
- 28. (James’s) Conclusion While I didn’t design the gallery I did help finding out what could go inside it. I hope that my contribution has been useful and helpful
- 29. Danny Walcott
- 30. So my individual part of the project was to work on the interior of the building. This meant that I had to research into things such as: • Doors • Windows • Lighting • Basic materials • Rooms • Stairs • Space • Themes
- 31. I made a questionnaire for the group asking people basic questions to benefit the group. I then analysed the questionnaire and explained the benefits and drawbacks from the results. We then had to slightly alter our ideas to fit the results
- 32. I then made slide Doing this I gained a show on the lot of ideas of what different design could be used for our ideas. gallery. In I displayed: • Window types • Door types • Themes • Rooms • Lighting. The last thing I did is actually create my own my own interior design ideas for the building. I made sure that each one of my designs were different but kept the same theme.
- 33. Conclusion •Research •Platforms •Time Taken •Good Product
