Inside Gallery/ Access area - Ramp down to garage, storage area behind the stairs

Upper/Outside dining area - Creates cover for gallery below, serves as outside dining, wavy balustrades like roof. Windows like rocky walls of garage

Whole Building - Eye level, glass columns continue out to section off courtyard/gallery

Restaurant - Inside Kitchen to Dining Area, curving interiors

Garage - Outer sections frame inner section 

Garage - Heavy Parts elevator, rocky walls, depth between walls but also ground, raised.

Iso - Whole Building - shows outside gallery/courtyard, glass columns for support and sectioning/desert terrain flows like roof

18 SKETCH SECTIONS

Here's my sketches from Week one with a little post-production on Photoshop. Just in case you can't see them because the image is very large, here's a link to the image. http://imageshack.com/a/img812/6720/kfl4.jpg

[1] 7 IMAGES SHOWING 2 DRAFT SKETCHUP MODEL

Here's the sketchup model for the first week. The top level was Heston Blumenthal, so in my model it's a restaurant. The seating is all above with a VIP area up the very top, there is a feature wall between the levels that's also a tunnel between the two sides (Cantilevered off the sides?). The kitchen would be on the level just below the lower seating area so waiters walk up to the seating. 

The area between the two is a gallery for art/photos of the food/showroom for motorbikes. It's big a spacious and pretty simple to not distract from the content. I like using glass so there's a lot of it as barriers and there's also large windows. For the top section the word was Cosmic, which looked alright in the sketch section because things were floating and it sort of had this old aztec-ey sort of shape, didn't come through very well on the 3D though. Maybe the very top layer brings back the cosmic a bit. 

Underneath is the garage for the Revival Cycles, the sketch had an extra sub layer but I don't think it was really necessary, that being said, it sort of took the drive (the word for the lower section) out of it. The idea was that you'd drive down into the garage and down to any other levels via ramps. I designed it in a way that I know it would be fun to drive on (because I drive a motorbike) but taking out the sub layer doesn't make it that fun any more (but ramps are always fun anyway).

I think I might have made this building a bit too practical and so it's come out a little boring, but it served it's purpose with experimenting.
