[DEPOT] STUDY MODEL

This time I construction different concept models in order to find the appropriate layout. The plan is located in Pullman, WA. It is a adaptive depot house, and we will try to reuse this space and convert to a house for residential area, studio and the gallery. I try to use different interior walls to separate different areas in this plan. The traffic flow is really important in this project, and I also need to consider to the circulation in the gallery.

I constructed the study model for my depot project and used this model to imagine the environment in the real world. This model can also help me to understand how to connect natural landscape with the building. And I can use this model to show my design concept and Mark Zirpel's design principle. He exphasizes about the harmonious relationship between human and nature, so I design the pedestrian path at the west of the house. this path can be the buffering zone between street and depot.  I think that this model help me to explore and observe the natural landscape surrounded depot. I used the museum board for this study model. And this material is easy to be dirty, so I need to be very careful to glue the board.
