Week One- Design Narrative
My intent for the design of the structure was to create a series of experiences as the observer moves through space culminating with the intimate Object Trouve gallery. I placed the entry element adjacent to the Object Trouve gallery with a first glimpse of the final destination. The entry element is a funnel directing the observer inward and on axis with the apex of the main gallery. The funnel is terminated with a column centrally located at its apex. The column provides a focal point at the end of the funnel. Once at the column, the observer is now within the main gallery. This gallery is divided into two spaces by use of a collonade; the larger 1a gallery and the smaller 1b gallery. The observer is given another glimpse into the Object Trouve gallery from the 1a space. The observer may now proceed toward the Object Trouve via the shared space at the end of the 1b gallery. Complete access to the Object Trouve is now available to the observer.

Tim, you are not putting on much of a fight... but I'm glad you are working some more on the first scheme. By introducing a column at the appex of the "funnel space" you created a very subtle gradual transition space at the end of the funnel; the little traingle is perceivable as pat of the large space while still also part of the funnel. At the same time, teh density of your space definition abruptly changes at the treshold to the large space thus still allowing the AT to work. Nice find.If you could please format your final submission on a process sheet together with the narrative, that would be swell.
