Custom textures and the model

These screenshots from Sketchup show the use of custom textures taken from the drawings done during the tutorials.

I chose the texture 'symmetrical' for above ground area when thinking of Gascoigne's methods of geometric assemblage of materials. The use of this texture strip divides the open workshop into separate work areas e.g. dedicated spaces for disassembling large found materials, spaces for detailed compositioning of works and clean areas for reflecting or other activities.



I chose the texture 'malleable' for the gallery level to represent the curves of the building that have been moulded and edited. The texture does not overpower the gallery.



I chose the texture for below ground 'dimpled' because of its resemblance to film strips for film/photography that are Moffatt's mediums. I applied this texture to all of the walls to accentuate the height and ceilings of the space.
