The Art Pavilion (T.A.P)









The Art Pavilion, an assignment completed not so long ago was to inspire the use of space and how to meet the client’s needs.  

The actual building is to be erected in the back garden of an existing property; therefore size plays quite the significant role. Bearing in mind only three major pieces had to fill the space at any given time. Namely a scaled version of the Tatlin Tower by Vladimir Tatlin, the red blue chair by Reitveld and an ancient African entrance door.

The building itself had to perform as an art piece, something looked upon just as the art work held within it. Designing to hold the certain pieces came across quite enjoyable, using details of the art work to form the features of the building and in a greater scale designing the building to enhance the visual effects of the art pieces.For instance, by creating a gathering area on top of the gallery this enabled me to add in a sky light which purposely is situated directly above the scaled Tatlin Tower, with the tip of it dramatically projecting through the slab and into the glass box (sky light).

The second part of the project was to design a logo for the “art Gallery” and thereafter create a franchising spec book. Which in turn, I had to create the idea myself by taking an existing building and converting it to the art pavilion (TAP).
