Images of Final Design- Assessment


Conceptual Cross Section; Attacking [Banksy] Capture [Malangi]
The gallery level, beside the three storey void which connects each level. Large, glass openings are on the top level [Banksy's studio], circular portholes line the gallery level which are continued into the lower level [Malangi's studio].

View of the structure from left-hand side, showing all three levels. .

Part of Malangi's Staircase. Transluscent material is used on the outer wall despite being underground, so that the earth below ground level is visible. This enhances the relationship between Malangi and the archtiecture. Coated timber most probably used for steps, while steel beams used for structural support. 

Part of Banksy's staircase. Rise is exaggerated to encourage use by public as seating, however discourages acces to studio by public. Again, this method is to emphasise Banksy's anonymity. Iron is most probably used for stairs, which are supported my metal wires attached to the ceiling. This gives the visual effect of 'floating'.

View of all three levels from right-hand side. Notice the continuation of porthole windows from gallery level into the lower level. This angle captures best the words to describe the artists work; Attacking [Banksy; upper level] and Capture [Malangi; Lower Level].
