Presentation
My artist model for this project was Carlo Scarpa who mainly focusing on museum and gallery design. What was interesting to me was his ability to combine original aspects of a building with new modern design without interrupting it.
Along the bottom of my presentation are a few of his works, the Brion Cemetery, the bank of Verona and the castelvechhio museum (left to right). Scarpas relationship with colour was that he would use block colour walls or coloured areas to guide people through the space, reflect light and bring attention to details within the building. Otherwise he would use the natural colour of materials as he used a clot of concrete and glass.
I found him and his works really interesting and wanted to reflect these ideas within my work.
With my design I wanted to create a public dwelling space where people could spend time here, have lunch break, do some work, read a book. So I left it quite open and minimal.
When you walk into the building through the Lorne St entrance the detailing and art in the space is left as is, like the detailing along the column and above the doors and roof and is surrounded by a white facade to put the attention on these original aspects which I think are important to the space.
I put a glass wall across this side of the space where the staircase is. To allow people to see through to what the space once was, the old theatre as they are walking through. In essence capturing and conserving history. Assuming that the theatre isn’t going to undergo reconstruction, Turning it into a public space.
I have a large concrete seat through the centre of the front section for people to sit and spend time and as you walk through there are large concrete pillars to break up the space and add something of interest, while also directing people.
Once you get to the end of the space there are 4 walls of block colour that are colours taken from the theatre, with seats across from each one and a glass wall at the end of the space that looks out onto queen street. The coloured walls help to reflect natural light throughout the space and as people walk down they can sit down and look out onto the rest of the city.
Throughout the length of the space is a red tile that subtly directs people through the space and links everything together.
I wanted to work with Carlo Scapras way of integrating the old and new. The building is kind of like a timeline, as you walk in the building is left with its original features and as you walk through it merges into a new, more modern space seen in a lot of todays designs.

ABSTRACT
Through this space you see layers of history. As you enter, original artworks and decoration are seen surrounded by a white façade to bring attention to these details with a long concrete seat through the middle of the entry space. Creating a gallery like space, it is left open and minimal. Assuming that the building does not continue reconstruction and to allow public access, a glass wall is placed across the right side of the building to allow passersby to see into what once was, the St James Theatre. This opens up the space and makes it more intriguing, as you walk down the space you are met with large concrete pillars that direct you and also act as a transition space. Towards the end you are met with a glass wall that looks onto Queen St, allowing natural light in. There are large colour blocks, with colours taken from the theatre, placed across from each seat to reflect light throughout the whole space and to compliment elements of what already exists. Open to the public, people are freely able to make their way in and out. Located across from the Auckland library it serves as an indoor space for dwelling, allowing people to take time out of their day to relax, whether it be a lunch break, reading a book, or spending time with friends. For this project, Carlo Scarpa was my artist model. He heavily influenced the simple style of this space, materiality and my ability to combine the new and old, complimenting what already exists in the site. Colours seen throughout the theatre are used throughout the space and is surrounded by a white façade to bring attention to these moments. It combines the history of the St James Theatre with modern day design and repurposes this pre-existing space to one that can be used every day.

Final Sections
Again using the rhino renders in photoshop to add life and environment. I was unsure about adding the rest of the building to these sections but decided against it as it took away the focus of the foyer section.

Trying to figure out what to do with each area of the space. Looking at flow throughout the space, people use and details to add.

Development/Ideation
I want to turn the area into more of a public dwelling space rather than a theatre foyer/bar that I had previously explored. Under the circumstances that the gallery does not undergo reconstruction/restoration. Carlo Sarpa mainly designed gallery and museum spaces bringing attention to the details of the original building. This is something that I want to reflect in my work by creating a ‘timeline’ as you walk through the building from old to new. Also by creating a gallery space feel to the area, to open it up and bring light in.

Perspective drawings of the space.
Possibility of creating a private bar space for people coming to the theatre. How am I able to use Carlo scarpas ideas/designs in a bar design? Would this be boring in the sense that places like these already exist all throughout Auckland? this design is also pointless if the theatre does not undergo reconstruction? I am finding it hard to design a bar space as the ideas I want to incorporate will be hard to reflect in a bar space, instead of a private space I want to make it public.

Tile Workshop
I really enjoyed the tile workshops and being in the wet lab. I found it to be a lot more successful than the wallpaper as it was more applicable to my artist model and as part of my design I can see more opportunities and ideas of where I can take my design. Although the finished product didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted I really enjoyed the exercise and it has helped me to develop my ideas further.
