Hi Lola, sorry we didn't get time to talk yesterday. In all, your model looks quite neat, and you are developing some interesting and contrasting forms in it. Some things to think about:
Firstly, your top studio: your building elements are quite organised, concentric, and facing the same way (which is fine if you use 'chaos' in a mathematical sense, but I think when you looked at Goodwin's work you meant 'disorder'. You could argue that the building is an illustration of how the motorbike in the photo fell over (although the artwork you put in your blog with the word 'chaos' is not the same one that you have put in the gallery, and I can't find the photo on the internet because you haven't referenced it...)
Think about connecting some of the shells so that Goodwin can have different spaces in which to make art (for example, if the artwork is the photo on your blog, he will need an enclosed room to develop and dry it, so how can you use these forms to make an enclosed space?).
You have designed an interesting staircase, which is chaotic in the sense that it changes structure three times on the way down, and it uses elements suspended and fused together (works well with Goodwin's sculptures) but it's not very chaotic in that it's completely straight.
The artwork that inspired your bottom studio is a skeleton that's climbing a chain, yet you have made very convenient stairs for the artist. Does the way the skeleton is struggling upwards suggest ways that you could make a staircase? Also, does the artist struggle in this studio? Does he struggle to get out, or because there isn't enough light down there?
The gallery is very different to both (and that's fine). Think about how Goodwin and Swallow would both exhibit work there (is there an area where you can hang an enormous sculpture made out of cars? Or a space where one can exhibit small woodcarvings? Is part of the gallery open to the sky and another part quite intimate?)
You have made a good start on all of this, just keep refining, and make your studios, stairs and gallery both reflective of the words you used for the initial idea, and considered places where your chosen clients can make art.
