project 3 - the room to view

this image shows the first room to the left upon entering the large glass panels. it features NJP's artwork 'tv buddha', which represents tradition and culture being more exposed and addicted to technology.

project 3 - the artist

the artist i have chosen to build my gallery around is Nam June Paik. the artist bases his work around the use of technology to challenge traditional living and themes. he mainly uses televisions as a means of his works. NJP shows and reflects on society's materialistic nature, identity and ceasing family traditions through his television artworks. he focuses on the fact how we use technology in everything we do, and that it has become our lifestyle and ultimately our world.

project 3 - the plans and sections

since the site is very long, it allowed me to create some sort of 'journey' to the end of the gallery, instead of going around in circles and so on. what i wanted to achieve was a gallery that was in its own technological world and that technology has become our world that we live in. the artist's purpose in his artworks supports this as well.

in the middle there is a glazed corridor which features 'tv' like images on the glass panels itself. this reflects Nam June Paik's use of televisions as his medium for his works as he wants to reflect and challenge the notion of technology's role upon traditional living.

the gallery uses a combination of natural light from the glass glazing and artificial light from the 'tvs' and other technological elements. this shows the interelationship between natural energy and man made energy.

the floor above contains the office for the owner and directly linked to the apartment itself. the apartment is seperated from the gallery. the apartment recieves lighting from the facade glazing as well as artificial lighting.

project 3 - the site

the site that i have chosen is site 1. the main reason for this is that it is reasonably away from the main intersection and behind the site lies a park. i wanted to link this to my other projects, and my other projects had something to do with the natural environment and the world surrounding. i wanted to create a transition and link between the busy city newtown to the park behind. hence, i saw that site 1 was best fit for my approach to my idea and gallery.
