CLIENT: Richard Goodwin
Goodwin's "encapsulating" space started off as a enclosed box. Then I've used randomly directed columns to support the ceiling overhead. This idea came from reflecting Goodwin's work, the "Rhizome" and also the rods protruding out of dismantled motorcycles. These sticks flies across the floor to give a dynamic sense evident in most of his work.
The main features of this space is the stairs. From the word "fragmented" Goodwin would have to walk on these steps made of sharp, broken glass shrapnels in order to reach his office. This correlates to Goodwin's works, which seems brittle and fragile, yet balanced.

This image shows his office. The texture used transform from smooth curves to sharp lines. The floor would be of galvanised sheeting, relating to his industrial approach to his work.
[NOTE: imagine you are looking through a wall here, since it makes it easier to construct the model and see it without a wall blocking it]
I've chosen glass as one of the main material because of its transparency and its association of being brittle. The person would be able to see the bottom when walking on it and would give out a sense of danger and adrenalin associated with motorbikes.
