[DAY 5] Design Development

The structure design team and ship rack design team have been working hand-in-hand for a 1:50 model of the lifeboat exhibition space. See how nice the boat sits within the space! We can't wait to see how the design could extend to the external open space.

Amazing rendering by the facade design team showing the northwest elevation of the museum! Perforated aluminium panels were chosen to play with light and visibility around the main exhibition area.

Work as a big group in the morning to discuss and share ideas. In the afternoon, each small groups continue to develop the design for facade, structure, site model, presentation and ship rack model.
Posted 23 Apr 2018 15:35
After reviewing with the architects, we got a selected design for boat supporting rack to be pushed forward! The sinuous wave form allows the boat to sit elegantly within the structure and retains a sense of composure and balance. Well done Kilian for the exciting proposal! We can't wait to see the final model *applause*
