Modeling a Revolution

After our group decided to focus on parts and pieces of a loom for inspiration, I took it one step further on my own to focus on the way the cotton flows through the loom and the patterns it makes along the way. Here are two of the sketch models I made to get my point across:

I saw something like this as partitions to separate the vendor spaces. The wooden pieces are actually representing the columns, which puts this piece in perspective a little bit..these partitions are huge. The fabric weaves in and out of itself and around the columns. I imagine customizable signs that would weave into the fabric also, completely changeable to fit the rotation of vendors.

I thought of this model as a gigantic, loom-like gateway, separating the retail space from the food services. Im very pleased with the way this model came out in the end, even though its only a sketch model, and to my surprise, my group is too! Im excited to see how we can incorporate this into what we've already decided for the space. I also hadnt even thought about the neat shadows it would cast until I took the pictures. Maybe theres something there...especially with Jimmy's idea about cutting a huge skylight into the cieling. We shall see!
