Construction Site Tour

It was extremely helpful viewing the building firsthand, enabling me to imagine how my ideas will fit into the space.

Points to consider:
  • Building consists of impressive six storey vertical gallery next to the ‘design shed’.
  • The front facade of building is made entirely from glass.

  • Main structure will be concrete and minimal, predominantly white, grey and black. There is a need for exciting work to add life, colour and decoration.
  • Large, open planned areas with different areas of art school placed together.
  •  Outdoor spaces, rooftop garden and courtyard, would require resilient weather-proofed pieces as they will be exposed to the elements.

  • Light lanterns at top of building allow light to flow through to ground floor, so there is the potential to use natural light in the work
