Ticket Booth Development:

Inspiration:

  • Ticket booth at the State Theatre with ticket attendant. 1948
  • The Fox Theatre ticket Booth. Opened 1929
  • The Warner Theatre ticket booth. Opened 1924
  • Sketch of first iteration
  • Digital Model of first iteration

Drawing on designs from the 1920s-50s I designed a booth incorporating the wavey pattern used in the foyer space with the ribbon archways and keeping to the traditional forms of the old booths.

Going forward i think i will add more detail as the booths from the 1900s were quite ornate. The St James theatre also has a lot of detail within the theatre which i might draw on to tie the booth to the theatre.

Design Development – Second iteration of Design:

Floor Plan 2nd Iteration

Changes made:

I tapered the angles of the archways to create emphasis around the stairways, subtly guiding guests through the space. I think having these angles created more depth in the space and more interest in the design. I also added more archways into the space to fill it and make an all encompassing environment.

  • Floor Plan
  • Internal view from Queen Street Entrance
  • Internal view from Lorne Street
  • Lorne Street entrance

I feel like there are still too many gaps between archways breaking the spell of the tunnel like, all encompassing environment. Going forward I will work to fill these gaps and make the ribbon tunnel more consistent as you move through the space. I would like to create more movement with the ribbon archways going forward, creating a more dynamic surface texture.
