The idea behind this project was to create a "gateway" relating to the architecture of the 16th Century. Individually within our group, we each found inspirational precedents furthering our design ideas. Relative to the 16th Century, my first idea was inspired by Villa la Rotunda of Italy. Throughout the 16th Century, a single oculus was used architecturally to control natural light as well as give a spiritual feel throughout the building. Inspired mainly by the oculus, the beginning ideas of my sketch models showcased the oculus as a focal point.
