SketchUp Final Solution-Cast Away

The underwater system is expanded in order to create an realistic weighting system in this fictional structure. This also results in an expansion of gallery space, allowing the artists to exhibit their works without clutter and distraction. The experience of spending time alone with the works of Patricia Piccinini or Sidney Nolan in an underwater cocoon would be very dramatic.

The eery glow of the underwater structure would be a very interesting sight if the occupant of the sky studio became bored of staring into the sky and horizon.
Patricia Piccinini's favorite spot on this sky studio would probably be the observatory platform, on which she can look into space and imagine what alien creature she will try materialize in her next sculpture.
The floating structure has propellers rotating in alternating directions to provide lift. Individual floors are fixed to the central axis and can spin in accordance to the wind's force on its irregular shape.
Because the underwater studios are not anchored down, there is no defined axis of up or down. By rotating the structure, the spaces inside would interchange between floor, celling and walls.
