Rosalie Gascoigne's artworks seem as though there are many parts to it. Her collage is made of many pieces which have been carefully placed together to create her magnificent artworks.I have decided to design cantilevered stairs for her studio as each tread is an individual piece and without every piece, the staircase would not be complete. Each tread is carefully placed into the wall so it can withstand a human standing on it. The same can be said for Gascoigne's work. Each piece has been thought about and if there was a piece missing for the collage then the artwork would look out of place; unfinished.
The inspiration of the glass floor also came from her artwork. Her collages appear very intricate and also delicate. The glass floor looks like an elaborate design, yet at the same time appears brittle. The supporting steel frame below the glass is very durable and strong which is able to support the glass efficiently enough to hold people.

For Tracy Moffatt's studio her photography studio needs to be a dark and quiet place to work in. This is why her studio is below ground and made of thick concrete slabs to ensure that minimal noise can enter her studio while she is working. A dark studio is also necessary for something as simple as developing photographs or she may need a studio where she can block out natural light from the sun to take photographs without the interference of the natural light hitting the camera and ruining photo shots.
Her collection of photographs from the cellection "Up In The Sky" created an eerie mood when i first saw the photographs. This is why the studio is seen as a "dark" place to be as it reflects the mood of the photographs.
The exhibition space has two entry/exit points. This was done so tha the stairs had something to do in terms with the word "detour". If Moffatt wanted to she didn't have to exit her studio via Gascoigne's studio, she could take a detour and go around to another set of stairs and exit directly outside.
