[DAB510-Design] Initial concept inspiration

What is important about the whole learning process is the continuity and iteration that builds a competence in an ability. For this reason, I've become very intrigued with incorporating this idea of continuity in to my design. An integral part of this is the drawing surface as a running catalogue of sorts of the drawing process of all involved.

To show this in form, I was particularly inspired by this process image from Ball-Nogues Studio's Rip Curl Canyon installation for Rice Gallery, and thus I wanted the idea of big canvas sails that twisted in the wind to feature prominently in my design as part of the gallery component of the space:

Additionally, the work of Shegiru Ban really struck me with its clear structural use of cardboard tubing and light skins allowing for a sense of openness within. I was particularly drawn to his Hermes Pavilion and Paper Dome, both pictured below.
