Final Idea -Magnet

Forming Ideas for final design- The meeting between two magnets; attraction and repulsion. 

Idea 1- A magnetic wall; A place were people go to release metal items that magnetize to a wall. Becomes a piece of art; sculptural. Items cannot be removed. Could have elements of a wishing well or idea similar to the padlock bridge in Paris.

Idea 2- Minimalism; Create a space that encourages the viewers to walk around objects in a space. The placement of the objects would make the persons interact with the space as well as each other; coming together to move through tight spaces and apart to go around objects( attraction and repulsion). 

Robert Morris- Artist Model; Minimalism Instillation. Untitled (Three L’s) (1965)

1964. Seven geometric plywood structures painted grey.

Idea 3- The use of colour to imply attraction and repulsion. The use of colours that contrast each other and colours that go together. Use big blocks of colour to communicate this idea.

Colour wheel. Complimentary colours.

Blue and Orange.

Idea 4- Bumper cars, Idea 5- Fridge

Final Idea- Sticking with the function of the space being a bar and the elements of repulsion and attraction. But also combining other ideas all into one. Using the idea of a magnet wall at the bar makes it a more significant venue; magnet/feature wall. Adding elements of minimalism; design the bar in a way that conveys people coming together and apart as they move around the bar. They use of colour to evoke attraction/repulsion this could be an exterior element that introduces the idea to passers.

Have magnetic paneling above the bar; stuff hanging from above would look cool. Have a drink then contribute a metal item to the magnetic feature.Use the rafter beams but turned sideways to support both bar and the magnetic roof segments. Hang the bar and magnet roof  panel from the actual roof; suggests ideas of magnetic force like floating. 

Sketches figuring out shape of the bar/tables. Keeping in mind the idea of how we move around a space. By having sections that encase persons and bring them together(attraction) but with elements of repulsion walking around the outer faces of the bar spaces versus the center sections. Two clear defining areas splits the persons into two main groups; you have to choose which half of the room you want to be situated on. The basic lay out only provides space for persons to circulate around the bar area; idea of magnetic fields.

Floor- Concrete impression of magnetic field lines. The use of contrasting colours.

The use of basic seating; unfixed allowing for movement to where ever is appropriate.

Using two contrasting colours for each door then bringing them together as opposites attract in terms of magnets; contradiction.

Magnet

The Meeting between two magnets. When two like "poles" meet the magnets repel and when two unlike "poles" meet the magnets attract. I would like to design a bar based on the properties of the magnet; as the same behavior occurs in the environment of a bar e.g. you may be attract to someone so you by them a drink, or you might come across a "creeper" and try and avoid them (repulsion).

Basic brainstorm 

Self serve bar that hangs from the roof.

Basic feels. Colour palette: Black, silver, white. Magnetic field floor pattern. Long bar. Linear lines. Metal industrial lights.

Situate the bar in the center of the space allowing people to access it at all sides; connotative to the magnetic fields of the magnet.

Elevation- Use of linear beams 

Section- Use more colour in designs; more interesting.

Plan Drawing -Lighting
The persons go through a process whilst engaging with this space. First they are attracted by the external lighting of the building that protrudes from the building. Then followed by a completely blacked out room that contrasts and seals the internal light room. The light room is designed to accentuate your shadow. The process of walking through a completely dark room amplifies the experience of entering the light room; extreme contrast. 

Elevation Drawing-  With external lighting to create interest to the exterior of the building. Keeping with the theme of lighting and shadows. Introduces the idea to the viewer. Like a moth to a flame.
