DRAFT SKETCHUP MODELS
Sketch model #1
Contemporary (Jiro Ono)
Harmonic (Antonio Stradivari)
Materials: Jiro Ono's top studio would be made of gypsum wallboards. The boards would be painted with a range of vibrant colours, enhancing the aesthetic of the studios exterior appearance. The gypsum wallboards would also increase the fire safety of the building through their water of crystalisation hydrates (as the space would be predominantly used to create and cook Ono's creations). Antonio Stradivaris space will be made from a combination of wood and concrete elements. The dome would be constructed out of concrete for Stradivari to test his violins in (as this would allow for good acoustics), whereas his design studio would be made out of hard wood. The wooden design studio would allow his art of violin making and his design space to merge together into one entity.

FINAL SKETCHUP MODEL

Sushi (Jiro Ono)
Harmonic (Antonio Stradivari)
For my final model I have continued with the same design used in the second sketch model. I have chosen this as my final design inspiration because I feel this design best represents both artists' works.
The above studio, belonging to Jiro Ono, was inspired by the simple, clean design of sushi rolls. The notion that a simple exterior is home to great art was a major inspiration.
The lower studio, belonging to Antonio Stradivari, focuses on the movement of music and the amazing abstract shapes that music can create. The wave design on the show ground level was inspired by the middle bout and f-holes on a violin.
Intended materials are the same as in model one, with a greater integration of timber and wood throughout the whole model.
