These 2 ideas are for the egg shop, the idea behind those two is to incorporate the egg shape. I did previously said I dind't want to but for the initial few drawings I thought it would be intresting to explore the shape. What I wanted with these 2 was to have two clear distinct parts to the shop. I also tried to incorporate the egg and dart idea (alternating egg & v-shapes to enrich a concaved surface) which is why there are brute triangles present.
Idea 3&4 are both some sorts of pavillions. They both are drawings of me playing around with cut out shapes of egg parts. It was always the aim to create something very abstract and layered with these two samples.
Idea #5 is my little observatory that would be placed in a park, high up so you can overlook the city from the glass dome that pops out of the egg. I wanted this structure to be very explicit it what it was trying to get across, which was being an egg. Idea 6&7 are two other pavillions. #6 is essentially a broken egg split into 2 with the "yolk" being the center point where everything stems from. #7 is part of a shell that is just layed on-top of a structure that resembles the yolk once again. The idea was for the roof to be created with over-laping flat stones so it would look like broken egg shells being put back together.
#8 is an egg shop, and the concept i was trying to explore with this one was one of my interpretation that the traditional egg that we see in supermarket is the exploitation of nature and something very pure. That is why the arch is surrounded by a sharp, strong angles and lines that are make up the square. #9 is a little observatory where two halves of an egg are put together with the punch out hole window being the place holder for the missing yolk.
#10 is once again an egg shop that plays on the idea of egg and dart. We begin with a regular shape, the triangle that dissolves into a more organic shape that is the egg. I want a lot of light to come in this building which is why there is a huge window that crosses the rear end of the building.
