Concept development to design a happy, peaceful space for Vincent Van Gogh, the opposite of the sad life he lived. Three concept ideas were formed from the touch stone.

Concepts:

Picture 1: Concept model for life and hope (inspired by one of Vincent’s art piece)

Picture 2: Connectivity. How he connects to people is through nature, which is painted as art pieces.

3. Picture 3: concept model for peace. How he feel peace is also through nature: in one of his letters he have written about the things which gave him that feeling.
