Its The Final Countdown!

Final design project for semester 3. Public space of an animation studio. I was given the Aardman studio and so I had to create a space based on the studio for the public. It was intended to be some sort of like a fun play and learning centre so I had to give a lot of thought on the activities in the space.

The night before presentation. 

 The first board showing info on Aardman animation studio and a brief history. While at the bottom is where I showed the ideation sketches.

 This one shows the mind mapping with the floor plans. Models and one interior perspective done in 3ds max.

 Final board. Section drawings and for other interior perspectives.

The style of the whole presentation is based on blueprints as most of the spaces are somewhat connected to one of Aardman's famous animation : Wallace and Gromit.
Since Wallace and Gromit are both inventors I decided to go for something that relates to them, hence the blueprint idea.

The activities I included in the space are :
First floor
1 Information gallery
2 Sketching/Drawing area
3 Model making workshop
4 Video/Stop-motion shooting
*There are games area in between each spaces as well

Second floor
1 Cafe
2 Playground for kids
3 Merchandising

Basically the first floor activities are more towards exposing the public on how stop-motion animation is made as the Aardman studio is famous for that. And only recently they have started to join in the computer 3d graphics race in movie making.
