Quick concept design sketches on new Selhurst building

Here are just a couple of quick sketches i did on what i thought the new building should look like. My teacher told me not to worry about making it realistic as such now, but to just elaborate on initial ideas and come up with a couple of creative concept designs for the building. Heres what i came up with quickly.


I took inspiration from Igloos, the Ghirkin tower and Arsenals Emirates stadium when creating this concept design. The top two levels of the building would be made of glass panels, allowing views over the rest of the school site and allowing maximum daylight to pass through lighting up rooms considerably. on the bottom level though the building has an opaque out layer because i took into account the large proposed theatre stage and that it would make more sense to have that place be dark. 



Heres an idea for way-finding inside the building. It would be to have giant arrows on the floor and ceiling with the place name you need to find scrolling down digitally inside it. Also each arrow would be colour coordinated with the the place of interest and so would be easily more recognizable with the viewer as they navigate their way round the building.
