Way-Finding: New Build Images


Looking at the new build images, the mix of building materials has been kept but applied in a more contemporary style, using different metals, and textures, even just within the outside and entrance of the building. 
 The different styles of lighting has been kept, however maybe just one consistent style throughout would work best, and making the most out of natural lighting, especially so in studios. 
It looks like they are going to apply more wall art and icons using imagery on the walls. 
The golden materials on the outside of the building and the pattern on this is very reminiscent of the arts and craft movement, playing on the history of the university, and tying in with the Vernon street building. 

Common colours within the building are metallic gold.
The new building continues the use of suspended lighting (LED strip lighting etc) which is necessary because of the high ceilings within many of the rooms.
Sky lights will also be a feature allowing natural light to enter the building.  
Common materials within the new building are concrete (flooring in galleries etc and ceilings and surfaces), anodised golden metal (with details for external walls), grey carpet tiles, timber surfaces, wood wool (acoustic baffles), steel, plasterboard, aluminium (trims), galvanised (pipes).  
Other interesting features suggested in plans magnetised paint on the walls (grey in colour), large scale wall art, hanging art, spray painted timber (to match gold of building).
