To give a visual idea, this is the spot I was alluding to that my sculpture would be occupying, this isn't an image in full traffic but area wise you can see what I mean with all the concrete walks converging. It has ample space for my design.
Here is the final design after deciding my concept was "pinwheel". The basic large triangle forms still exist with some extension to them to make a continuation of the round about idea while still being directional. Plus they add to the visual movement and shadow presence that the model exudes.
Program Parameters:
+ Largest Triangles are 12 feet in reality.
+Smaller Triangles are 6 feet.
+The form is made of concrete to cut back on heat it may have being all made of a metal, and the concrete is 6" thick.
+The inner sides of the structure are covered in an aluminum coating to create more contrast and to reflect things around them and light even on the most cloudy day. [Like a pinwheel!]
The final idea for how college students can interact with it is that it is a meeting place where people who are not in a rush can stand under of against and will be protected from on coming and outgoing people traffic from the dorms, Cafeteria, and EUC Student Center while still being visually aware of their surroundings.
Here are some more angles:
Having had critique on my design I have learned the following things to consider:
+ Aural qualities it may have. [i.e. what would it sound like on a windy day.]
+ When model making, simulate thickness in materials in more areas than just in the drawings.
+ Drawings need to simulate more shadows to give the viewer more of a sense of things.
