I grabbed inspiration from the Villa Zoraydas architectual choices, especially their attention to details with windows. My four pop out windows came from that inspiration. The importance of color and balance is prevalent in this historical building, as well. I utilized five different ink colors to communicate and respond to my inspiration. This building being designed to imitate a palace in Granada, Spain inspired me to made my building similar to a palace, but a palace with a moat around it because of the power and royalty within the palace. I also pulled inspiration from the Gilded Age (when the Villa Zorayda was built) with their ornate details.
I grabbed inspiration from the Lightner Museums architectural choices, especially their attention to color, symmetry, and strong balance. When walking around the Lightner Musuem, whether in or outside, the attention to details is immaculate. The ornate woodworking mixed with the very colorful tile floor is what strongly influenced me. My pieces of paper that connected to the building and the wood planks were influenced by the balance within the Lighter, it feels like everything is connected. The Lightner, when it was a hotel, had so many amenities to offer to the visitors. I aimed for my color choices and placements to mimic multiple amenities and pleasing things to the eye and mind. There was also an immense amount of chaos with the Lightner. It was sold several times until it was bought by Otto C. Lightner in 1948. I described the chaos within the fluidity and colors throughout my piece.
I merged design elements from the Villa Zorayda from their strong attention to repetition and window details. On every side of my piece there are windowd to fruther compliment the work that was done at the Villa Zorayda. The use of strong lines and originality within the Villa Zorayda inspired me to communicate that through my piece. The Villa Zoraydas rich history inspired my piece through their creation of the building and the strong color palette from that time.
I merged design elements from the Lightner Museum from their strong attention to details and their brick road surrounding the whole building. I believe that the intricately made bricks that are all around the building are commonly looked over, yet there was a lot of dedicated time putting into creating and placing every one of the bricks. That is why I made walkways on both sides of the building with bricks to mimic the Lightners brick work. Their ornate, large windows inspired me too, which is why I prioritized a lot of windows in my piece. The long line of history with the Lighter played a part in my design decisions largely. The change of hands and chaos that went on within the Lighter I believe connected with my piece because of the many different windows and looking points I included. Lastly, I believe with the history of the Lightner Museum that it deserved to have a moat, which is why I made my piece similar to a building that would work well with a moat.
