Painted site model

The reason I made this mini site model was so that I could see the context in which I was designing the Gallery. I also felt that I needed to see colour and decided to paint the facades of the building. After this I returned to the site and walked the streets for an hour or so because I wanted to discover what I could add to the site and surrounding community to achieve a sense of decorum. I strongly feel that a building should add to the completion of the context in which it resides in a manner that is approprate for the particular project.
