I really like the layout of the 2nd option that I have played round with. The only problem though is how to make it on 5 levels.
Here is the original shape that I am hoping to go for:
It has a nice flow like watercolour on paper and I would like to keep this shape.
I have now played around with the sizes:
Each space is a good size from what I can see to house each studio in.
Just realised that the joins between each space is too small... there needs to be enough space for stairs and 2way flows of people.
Now it has completely disjointed the spaces and it is not what I want it to be >:(

layouts for the buildin's 5 levels
I have played around on coreldraw the graphics programme after taking photos of each watercolour blob. I I am trying to figure out what formation of the spaces looks the best, what has the best flow etc. at the moment I like the 2nd option as it means the building's footprint is quite 'slim' and fits on the site reall well as it isn't very wide.
Previous 2 designs and matrix building
I have made an executive decision not to use the ideas from my matrix building or from my previous designs. I believe they are all so far removed from my idea such as my matrix building: quite blocky, straight lines, hard cold materials creating a space with very defined walls and areas.
With my other 2 designs of the antique lamp post idea and meditation pod, I decided that the antique lampost with the metallic hardness and smooth linear-ness of it did not meld with my fluid idea of the watercolours.
As for the meditation pod, I could say that it links in as both the current design and the pod create a space in which people can be calm, think and ponder. When it comes to the design though with the physical materials and the moving attribute of the roofing, that doesn't fit in with the current design. Perhaps the idea of the curved walls and base link in purely because the current building has the curves as the walls...

Ideas!
I am finding it hard to meld all of the ideas of the matrix building, previous projects and current ideas together. My plan is quite fluid and not contained whereas my matrix building is very square, in one place with the floors on top of one another.

Catching up with my tutors Roberta and Anthony today
Meeting up and discussing my idea with them was a really good idea. I was confident with it but to share it with them and get some positive feedback was great!
Using the watercolour and the surface tension of the water I've focused on that to make the shape of each part of the building- the 5 levels as an organic form.
Through my experimentation I hope to create new forms and ideas that will shape the building- that it isnt the same each time... more leaving it up to how the paint and water flows in that moment.
