Presentation Board

Concept Model - Exterior
Simplicity was implied as the form and colour of the gallery to show contrast
- Just as the shape of a book is simple, yet the story inside could hold so much more than that.



Concept Model - Interior
A journey portraying the story of a human life (Doors, pathways, textures and levelling).



Development Model 1
Form was applied directly from the form of a book.


Development Model 2
Revised version of the form of a book.


Final Model
Lightings are installed to enchance the interior.


Birth Room

Marriage
two stairs meeting together;
also symbolizing going through hardships together.


Dark Room
a time of adolescence also a time of confusion and some, fear.
with mazes in the room, a teen has to find their own way based
on the right path they choose to go. mirrors were included in
this room to add more confusion.
