100. Late night notes for a Julian Schnabel "Moveable" Studio and Extension
atelier ying, nyc.
As I had mentioned in my previous uploaded photo, I love Schnabel's work and admire him.
The shift of scale within Schnabel's famous pink Palazzo Chupi building in Manhattan and its transporting views of the West side were part of the inspiration for my humble design, along with a vintage fisher-price wind up music box I saw in a soho store which just seemed the vehicle, I hope he won't mind. I felt I needed to move in big gestures vectorially rather than adhere to any standard. In this fantasy-homage, the quasi-setback for the small L-shaped building (which has intensely yellow-tinted glass curtain walls, the color of the eyeglasses Schnabel sometimes favors) would create much more light. The rest of the design would somehow be advantageous in gaining the adjacent building's top floor (call it an improvement to the neighborhood for now).
The warmest (focused) zone of the main building is oddly the roof of its inner structure, which is an extension of Schnabel's painting studio. Option A is an escalator-walkway connecting the spaces. But the far more interesting Option B would connect via a smaller red glass 'chute' to the next building's upper level where he would work. The original toy's handcrank that produced music would now siphon all scraps and refuse of discarded painting materials and supplies which would be dumped out the duct and would roll down the chute (as if a demolition were taking place) ending up in the glass enclosed roof area as a growing pile, from which Schnabel can periodically re-cycle for sculpture or combine and use as supports for new work. The discarded tarp cloths, wood timbers, found objects, etc. can be allowed to pile up attractively (it would also be visible from the street and within as most of the structures are of glass). As the piles grow they are shaped by moveable clear walls which act as brackets so Schnabel can use the piles as abstract inspiration. There would be plenty of walkways in and around the structures to resemble a quasi-highline open to the public. The highline views into his studio and his abstract sculpture of painting materials "waste" would be a wonderful way to interact both publicly and with the neighborhood surroundings as an artful and totally different constructive form of debris.
