MATERIALS USED
above:hardI chose the word hard to represent the type of materials that Richard Goodwin would use to make his art work. A lot of the materials he uses are metals and concrete. The Exoskeleton display uses a mixture of metals.
middle: soluble
I chose to use the word soluble as a material for the middle ground gallery. I felt that the middle ground should be an area where the two artists can meet, develop and display their work together. I felt the word soluble describes the idea of mixing together.
below: organic
A lot of the works by Ricky Swallow are of the human body in some shape or form. I felt the word organic best describes this idea of a natural human body. The work I chose - Unbroken Ways, is a model of an arm detached. I thought this contrasted the synthetic nature of Richard Swallow's work in an organic way.
The final materials used in the model are a mixture of all three materials. The wood represents an organic material. The black walls are a hard coloured concrete, and the corrugated metal represents a material that is not definitely a solid, a malleable material giving the idea of 'solublility'.

FINAL 3 IMAGES
The idea behind this concept gallery was to developed an artist's space above a datum - the gallery space, and another artist's space below the datum (below) ground.
The artist's space on the left and above would belong to Richard Goodwin. I designed the overall form based on the idea of 'synthetic' shapes. Not regular shapes such as regular squares and triangles which could be seen as natural.
The artists space on the right and below would belong to Ricky Swallow. Using the word isolated, I wanted to create an environment that would be enclosed. The bottom level is surround by a shell that engulfs it and grows up to the gallery floor. I wanted to used shapes like squares and rectangles with edges to contrast the above ground.
The middle space links not only the above and below, but the left and right. I wanted to identify this as a focal meeting point. The glass paneled roof is shaped in an idealised ying and yang shape to symbolise the coming together of the two different artists.
