To whom it may concern

Just letting you know that I haven't been able to upload my sketch up model yet.
It gave me a blank fire fox screen when i followed the instructions and I couldn't upload it directly from 3D warehouse either.
I will try to sort it out ASAP.

Sections through the lower studio - for Tracey Moffatt

Vertical and horizontal sections through the whole structure

Around the outside of the "Hallucination Hall"

Studio for moffatt's "Bonnie Riatt"



This is similar to the previous view except that I wanted to point out the stairs coming up to the plank.
They intend to ignite upwards from the bottom point and the colours mimic those of a flame.

The lower studio - Dedicated to Tracey Moffatt



This is where the visitor can stand to admire Tracey Moffatt's dangerous piece of artwork. The Piece is hanging from the ceiling and also visible are the stairs leading up to the ground which look like flames from the side.

The Hallucinating wheel



This image zooms in on the artwork on display (from the series "Melbourne 2008")and on the "hallucinating wheel" which when in movement will give the visitor strange visual patterns!

The "hallucination hall" from above - for Rosiline Gascoigne



The hallucination hall is designed to present Rosaline Gascoigne's piece of art.
The stairs are hallucing bubbles and the blue and purple colours are meant to give this impression.
The walls and floor are transparent and the conic outside shell has one of my custom textures applied to it. The visitor will find this slightly disorientating.

Final model - Full view



This is a comprehensive view of the structure.
The view is intended to give the viewer a sense of orientation for the rest of the images I have posted.
