Description of Material Selection:

After drawing up a 3d concept of what my selected cross-section would look like I decided to change it significantly. For 'icon' i decided to change it from residing inside a cube to existing within an abstract geometrical space consisting mainly of triangles. For material selection for 'icon' I thought of using mainly glass for the inside 'icon' structure in particular a glass floor that allows the viewing of a pyramid from the bottom up, glass would also be used as a skylight feature. I think such a glass structure would allow the client Sidney Nolan to observe and exist within the natural environment on which many of his paintings are based.The shape within which the small 'icon' resides would consist of mainly thin metal and also cement with supporting structures. For mutation, i decided to section the shape to add different levels and spaces, the material for 'mutation' would be rock/granite to add to the cold and uncomfortable feeling of the space.
