whoopsy. one just went missing :S

Experiment 3 in progress

Clients chosen: Steve Jobs and Xhang Yin
Contrast in from
For Jobs I've taken the axonometrics from experiment 2 and intersected them together in one monumental form, emphasis is on clean parallel lines

For Xhang Yin, I went a bit mental after the blob tute, I'm hoping to create an architecture a bit like torn paper


I've had trouble with the reverse faces business and half the information got lost in unreal tournament. I am also in the process of constructing the elevator, I have a concept whereby the meeting space consists of the elevator itself, and with each offices' elevator at the rear of the entry there is half of the table. In other words, both of the clients elevators meet in the middle of the whole space and it forms the meeting place and table.

one point perspective. woo

God?

the monster mash

U.S. trash, Donatella Versace, has made Zhang Yin China's richest person.
“Other people saw her as garbage, but I saw a grandly thronged affair featuring pink tufted sofas and could-be Botticellis and priceless ashtrays ” said Ms. Zhang, 49. “The business was just my husband and me, and I didn't speak a word of English…I was crying, laughing, crying, sleeping-I couldn't understand when I was talking; people couldn't understand me.”
“It was my hard work that helped me achieve my success.” She's a very strong woman but can be very pigheaded sometimes. Says Elton John
Steve Jobs doesn't jump out of airplanes or traipse around Africa with bundles of cash. Jobs fights them, with cocanie. Don't let his cool exterior fool you. This guy is all about business.
He is always in character and always on message, "Cocaine is such a good bet, soon they will be scrap paper and we can sell them--the ultra-thin MacBook Air. It is a righteous battle to fight…they have bad taste."
Her father's war buddies may unleash Chinese demons meaning they will all likely end up in Arizona rehab sponsored by a college dropout who once backpacked around India looking for spiritual enlightenment.

apologies, i can't seem to link it. I'll try and get it fixed up, in the meantime hope it's not to tricky to copy and paste the address :S

WEEK TWO

The computer froze when I was finishing up and I lost half my work and only managed to take the ONE picture




I was thinking, I'm not really a fan of the anomometrics, or I am just I wasn't quite sure how to make a coherent concept out of them. I know the three intersecting shapes are an expression of the quotes but, typical me, I need some over zealous poetics working across the whole thing. So, basically inside the wall (Hawking's lab) there is an explosion, the big bang, this is indicated by the LIGHTS. zomg there are so many!! lollol and shrapnel is flying everywhere and slowly morphs across the horizontal into a solid mass. From Goodall's laboratory (the Planet conservationist) one can get a perspective of the evolution from destruction to cohesion and furthermore reflect on what may be our fate if we don't CARE for OUR PLANET. yaya

wouldn't it be nice if the suburbs looked like such

this intersecting collection was inspiration for alot of the forms

hope you weren't trying to mark earlier tonight and went looking for this. only just remembered. on the ball :)

Liquid Aggregation:
(How is it that such a clever creature can actually be sitting back and watching the destruction of our horizons)(it's as if a true event horizon never forms, just an apparent one.)




It took me a long time to figure out what on earth was going on but i think I've got it now, which is hugely exciting for me. I'm looking forward to developing these more, textures are mank.

Final Exp.1. SketchUp images. Ta Ra!

This perspective might be a little disorientating. It's from the bottom of the building and I've hid the floors between the levels. I've included this to emphazise the 'string' element of my architecture and that it is continual through the whole space.



Nolan's studio. I wonder if I was to literal with the tree. I would have been curious to develop its boundaries, perhaps have branches protruding into the exterior. Again the space itself is very simple. In both studios I have ended up with sculptural string-like features, to allow synthesis across the whole architecture and hopefully be a source of inspiration for the artists.


Swallow's studio. I don't think the stair would be safe but it's purely a conceptual design :). In my experience studios are not convoluted spaces, generally all you need is a sink. I like texture of the web and walls together, for some reason I feel compelled to say it would be a gritty space, but I mean that favourably. My only concern is with its depth. Again I ran out of time to resolve proportions.



I quite enjoy the stair. I love the symmetry. Unfortunately I didn't resolve its proportions in time, so it would remain a challenge to climb. I stand by my decision to combine the gallery and stair as one, I think it harmonises the space, simultaneously allowing artists to access their workspaces and display their works. It ties them together, like string no less.


Exterior. On sketchup it looks a little barren. I think the reflecting pool would look more effective had I landscaped it better. In regards to the architecture itself, having the reflecting pool on approach forces people to walk either side of it, it seemingly prolongs their entry, which I think forces anticipation of the space and also greater assessment of what kind of space they are about to enter. In other words it increases respect for the space, which is a revered one, considering that it's focused on creativity, which for many is a spiritual endeavour.
