Material Collage

My material collage highlights key textures for my final skate hub design whilst still in keeping with Benjamin Fern’s architectural drawing style. The textures are a mixture of photographs from the original Sunshine Cafe, taken on the first and second site visits, as well as up close textures from my clay conceptual models. By combining the two textures it represents marrying the old with the new as the old Sunshine Cafe comes alive with the new Skate Park design. The original space is also not being changed drastically with my new design but maintaining the majority of the original features as it is such a vital part of Margate’s history, so the acknowledgement of having original textures in the collage signifies this.
