Design Models - CAD Models of the Galleries in Nature

The galleries in the centre of the oasis will be the buildings that showcase this project, because its role is capture the harmony of art and nature which symbolise the new Gowanus. I looked at the inspiration of the trees and roots and found it echoing with the previous design i have for the project.

Previous Concept

More Trees and Roots

i found the curve shape that descend into the ground very natural and organic, and the space between roots and ground can be occupied.  It allows the building to integrate into the nature without drawing too much attentions.

I started to explore this form digitally and ended up with a design that I'm very satisfied with; its organic, minimal, and the most important thing is that the peaceful balance of architecture, industrial and nature.

SketchUp - Exploring Form

Photoshop - Adding Texture

Im happy with the design and how it sits in the context, so i will add more details and use it as my hero shot for the boards.
