Concept & Progress Models
by workbymariahroth
The beginning of my design concept looked specifically at the courtroom itself and the shape that is takes on.
The development of my concept particularly looks at the shape of the volume within the courtroom. I began to develop the idea that the judge, jury, and counsel table (law) area was a more prominent feature, and therefore should be more pronounced. I did the by increasing the volume of this area. I studied different ceiling styles to link the law area and the spectator area. Such as a sloped ceiling, a stepped ceiling, and a sloped/stepped hybrid ceiling.
I then realized that the hybrid ceiling was most conducive to link the two areas but still allow for the area to feel different. I then looked at the ways of stacking these courtrooms and the shapes they begin to form. From there I have begun pushing and pulling to form more spaces, which is where I will go for next week.
