Influences

There have been many influences from outside elements in which have contributed to the final product of my work. These range from such things as interesting shapes, boring shapping centre and office block ramps, right through to the idea of a ramp becoming an ordnamental aspect of a building.

Below is a list of images in which have helped to develop my concept of what a ramp can be.

(This image above helped with the idea that a ramp could be a source of energy and light)(This image here helped my to gain an idea of how the size of a ramp was usually dependent on its purpose of use.)(This image here helped my to gain the idea that ramps can appear endless, continous and can be in very interesting shapes in which can also become a structural element.)(This image here was a very big influence as it allowed me to gain the concep that ramps can have more than one purpose and apart from being used for transportation it could have an ornamental and sculptural purpose behind it.
