Final Project Research

For the final project I wanted to design more of a building than a sculpture. I want to mix some of the architectural and design elements of the Dome of the Rock and the Pantheon with the arches of the Agnes Scott logo. The main body of the piece will be in the octagonal shape of the Dome of the Rock, but the dome will have layered rings seen on top of the Pantheon along with the oculus in the center of the dome where one can view into the piece. The arched opening will be layered and open so that the viewer can see through the piece. There will be three portals with the middle one being the largest and on the floor will be gold designed card stock. Card stock will be utilized throughout the piece  because there will be card stock panels that make up two sides of the octagon as well as on top along with the golden card stock that the dome will be made of. The colors are mostly going to be black with gold accents, but I also want to utilize some blue floral card stock that has gold accents for the panels. The concept is not so rigid, and it is mostly a guide at the moment. I want to be open to deviating from the plan if I think the piece should go somewhere different, or if something does not go according to plan. The images below are of a test dome that I did. I wanted to see how big the dome would be, how malleable the card stock would be, and to experiment with cutting a circle into the top of the dome.
