Proposal for final outcome

Maquette

After deciding on how I would like the aesthetics of my design to look, which is based mainly on constructivist artwork, I created a maquette of the to visualise the structure. I overall felt that the design alludes well constructivism with the twisted triangles alluding to Tatlin’s tower and the canopy alluding to the square and angles forms used in Malevich’s work and Russian Propaganda posters. To develop this I would need to add colour and select the materials for the different aspects of the kiosk.

MaterialsTo add some texture and pattern to the surface of my design, I cast some blocks in plaster. I did this so that when the clay is removed the blocks wouldn’t be perfectly flat to the surface but be risen about 1mm. The way I placed out the blocks was inspired by artwork by Malevich.

I decided that the tile pattern created would be placed on only the front of the kiosk and also on the ground in front. The material of choice would be steel due to the durability and I thought that they would stand out more if they had a slight reflection.

Materials

Concrete

Steel

Wood

Glass

Steel

The reason for choosing steel would be to again gain some reflection against the light, and also I was influenced by the twisted nature of Tatlin’s tower which was made from steel for the durability and strength.

I chose glass for the canopy so light can shine and reflect through. The square forms were also inspired by Malevich and angles in Popova's work.

The reason for choosing wood is due to it being lightweight so that the benches can be easily slid out. Plus it would be more comfortable sitting on wood then metal.

Colour scheme

After looking at Chernikov’s work I was inspired by the use of vibrant colours and linear forms. I liked how the colours within each graphic had a rhythm to them which was also enforced by black and white highlights. After doing some colour swatches, I decided that the colour scheme I would pick is red, blue, black and white. I felt that the blue mixed together the best with the colour red due to them both being primary colours and also when they are mixed they will create a vibrant purple. If some glass panels on the canopy are red and others blue, when light shines through; it will create a mixture of the two which will form purple on the ground.
