Draft 500 word texts for poster
I chose to use mainly glass and aluminium for the structure of my building. I chose to use these materials because they both have a very shiny exterior which brings more character to the building.
The glass texture also allows for viewing of artworks and designs from the outside of the building. The use of glass also makes the building seem more spacious and less restrictive when you are standing inside the structure.
The steel material I chose is called brushed aluminium which is one of the most lustrous metals there is, it is also very resistant to weathering and corrosion which is great in the long term as the building won’t collapse in the long term
I created this structure with the ‘Rotating tower’ designed by David Fisher in mind, Even though my structure does nto rotate, but combining he spiraling chord with the inner tower creates an very nice aesthetic, it also gives a sense that the poionting tower is drilling into the sky. The height of the inner tower also allows the pieces of artwork to be hung higher and to be viewed from futher away.
I chose to put the Vitra Public Museum in an open plain with some water feature so a large park was the best choise. I chose to put the museum at an open plain because it allows the towering structure to be seen from kilometres away without being obstructed by anything.
I also chose the park because of the very nice scenery, this allows the visitors of the museum to not only admire the artwork and the beauty of the museum but also to enjoy the natural environment, the trees and the water.
The combination of beautiful scenery, nature and a great chance to relax is what the Vitra Public Museum offers to all visitors.
The Concept for my ‘reinvisoning model’ is freedom, the freedom to be viewed from all angles and the freedom to enter and experience the designs yourself. I came up with this concept because i thought the design for the Vitra Design Museum was too constricted, it had walls enclosing it on all sides making the viewer feel restricted, there fore my design gives the people who enter it a sense of freedom with the wide open spaces on both levels and the freedom for anyone to view the structure and design artworks from anywhere.
In the picture above you can see the main entrance into the Vitra Public Museum the entrance has two doors one leading to the dining resting area the other leading into the display area. The design of the entrance was inspired by the front of original Vitra Display museum, I found the pertruding top and spiraling side extremely elegant so decided to keep them for my reinvisioning model.

150 words descriptive text on re-invention
I got the inspiration for my model while doing research for my A3 montage, I really like the design of a church that towered over its surroundings and almost connects with the sky. But I decided to give it a more modern twist and use materials such as glass and brushed aluminium to give the model more shine and lustrous. I also want to have cone shaped spirals running on the outside of the building as decoration. On choosing a new location for the model i decided to put the model at a similar location as the church I was inspired by – in an open space with clear skies and some water feature nearby that will work well with the glass texture.

http://www.mpglass.com/images/glass/waterglass.jpgI chose mostly glass, metals and brushed stainless steel for the materilas because I wanted to give it a more modern look to the building also the use of glass allows more people to view the pieces of art from more angles and to let in more light to let the pieces of art to be viewed in the best viewing condition.
