BRIEF
BRIEF
An architect or interior designer may use modelling programs for many different purposes. It is most commonly used as a communication tool to explain a design concept to a client or to demonstrate to the planning authorities that a design is an appropriate solution when viewed in the context of the site and the buildings that surround it. It can also be used as a design tool, to help a designer evaluate several design options for a particular site. This will often require the modelling of existing building facades effectively and efficiently. To demonstrate these important skills, Rui was required, as part of his university coursework, to produce a building for an art gallery with office spaces, a restaurant, etc. The exercise started with the creation of a white modernist building in the heart of Glasgow's city centre. The site is on Glasgow's Bath Street, one of the main thoroughfares running east to west dissecting Glasgow City Centre, and featuring a mix of retail, leisure and office buildings. The central location of the unit benefits from passing traffic from office workers and shoppers and is a high footfall location in the heart of the city centre.
