Through experimentation of previous concepts and developments, we gathered all the elements that we liked and we came up with our final design.
SYMBOLISM: The two shells personify the human heart and as the exterior is very plain, it conveys the simplicity of the outer heart. However the building being black portrays mystery. The interior is sophisticated with numerous features showing the complexity of the inside of the heart, such as emotions and feelings. Our hidden feature, the transparent floor on the ground level, is a dome for the sub-conscious mind where deep thoughts are gathered.
INTERIOR: Our library consists of numerous levels, where occupants can explore each floor almost like a journey. The ground floor will have our 9 journals placed on bookshelves. The 2nd floor will contain the 3 blog screens. This floor will have internationally known architecture websites, and our 3 blog addresses. A circular elevator takes the occupant to the 3rd Floor. Here we will have some chairs and a table where people can sit and read. Going up the ramp will be the study area. We will have a lot of tables and chairs for users to sit down and have some quiet study.
EXTERIOR: The outer walls are very smooth and simple. The circular form with straight lines were too direct and corners were distracting, as opposed to the sphere, there is a
feeling of rotation and forever spinning.
LANDSCAPE: A site should be located where there are some geographical structures as it could provide scale and show some sense of reality.
MATERIALS: Possibly low cost, standard construction where walls will be made of wood and beams and cantilevers will be made of steel.
FURNITURE: We will be modelling some chairs and tables ourselves but some furniture will need to be bought at the Second Life Marketplace.
