ARCH1201 - Project 3: Art Gallery, Shop, House - Concept


Narrative: With the simple clear shapes, an abstract artist is using his imagination to bring creative power to the audience and leads them to get into nature to feel where they are and what they see.


The inspiration of space was created by simple lines intersecting with each to generate sets of enclosed spaces in geometrical forms.

The private apartment for the artist does not physically connect to the art gallery but their shapes of plans are coming from the same rectangle.

The model both in real world and sketchup has doors for security actually. The reason why they were hidden in those submitted images is to show the interior more clearly.

ARCH1201 - Project 3: Art Gallery, Shop, House - Artist and Narrative




John Coburn, 1925-2006, Queensland born artist.


Coburn was predominantly an abstract artist. It is perhaps his greatest achievement to have reached large audiences with a form of abstract painting based on simple clear shapes and radiant colour. Most of Coburn's pictures have a joyous quality, and that may be why they exert such broad appeal.

At heart, Coburn was a classically minded artist, who described his style as "precise, clear and deliberate".
