TO ALL MY STUDENTS

Remember that your design needs to be uploaded to your blog by this Sunday evening 9pm.

Make sure your design consists of 3 spaces:
One above ground (studio A)
One on the ground (gallery - shared between artist A and B)
One below ground (studio B)

And 2 staircases:
staircase A connecting studio A with the gallery
staircase B connecting studio B with the gallery.

The 3 spaces (and the staircases) need to represent and support the artists and their artwork - and its just 3 spaces (no kitchens, toilets etc).
There is no rules of whether the spaces are protected from wind, rain, sun etc. - but you have to have thought about these things and ultimately justify your design decisions.

Looking forward to seeing your results:-)
