2. Maquette
After deciding on how I would like the aesthetics of my design to look, which is based mainly on constructivist artwork, I
created a maquette of the to visualise the structure. I overall felt that the design alludes well constructivism with the
twisted triangles alluding to Tatlin’s tower and the canopy alluding to the square and angles forms used in Malevich’s
work and Russian Propaganda posters. To develop this I would need to add colour and select the materials for the
different aspects of the kiosk.

3. Materials
To add some texture and pattern to the
surface of my design, I cast some blocks in
plaster. I did this so that when the clay is
removed the blocks wouldn’t be perfectly
flat to the surface but be risen about 1mm.
The way I placed out the blocks was
inspired by artwork by Malevich.
I decided that the tile pattern
created would be placed on only
the front of the kiosk and also on
the ground in front. The material
of choice would be steel due to
the durability and I thought that
they would stand out more if they
had a slight reflection.

4. Materials
Concrete
Steel
Wood
Glass
Steel
The reason for choosing steel would
be to again gain some reflection
against the light, and also I was
influenced by the twisted nature of
Tatlin’s tower which was made from
steel for the durability and strength.
I chose glass for the canopy
so light can shine and
reflect through. The square
forms were also inspired by
Malevich and angles in
Popova's work.
The reason for choosing wood is due to it being
lightweight so that the benches can be easily slid
out. Plus it would be more comfortable sitting on
wood then metal.

5. Colour scheme
After looking at Chernikov’s work I was inspired by the use of vibrant colours and
linear forms. I liked how the colours within each graphic had a rhythm to them which
was also enforced by black and white highlights. After doing some colour swatches, I
decided that the colour scheme I would pick is red, blue, black and white. I felt that
the blue mixed together the best with the colour red due to them both being
primary colours and also when they are mixed they will create a vibrant purple. If
some glass panels on the canopy are red and others blue, when light shines through;
it will create a mixture of the two which will form purple on the ground.
