Google Sketch Up Link

Draft 5 images


Images in a clockwise direction, starting from top left

Image 1: This is a cool perspective shot of the whole building. The area underneath where the green and red light meet, is the meeting place for the two clients.

Image 2: This image shows the workspace and the ramp to the first laboratory for Stephen Hawking. It also shows the building from the other side.

Image 3: This image shows three textures, however only two are clear. It also shows the shadowing from the moon, which still appears even though its raining.

Image 4: T his is an image from afar, during the day light hours. It is raining still and there is cloud cover, since my quote talks about people being ill.

Image 5: This is an image taken from the common area to Charles Darwin’s laboratory. The block above the character head was previously attached to the main body, however I thought this made it more interesting.

3 final textures




Light


Medium



Dark

This image shows all three textures on the building. Two of the sides shown hear have had the texture distorted in sketchup. This image also shows the ramp to the lab for Charles Darwin

more progressional work


This roof area is accessed by Charles Darwin. The lab can be spread throughout this area in an number of the rectangles.

This is showing the ramp to one of the labs for Stephen Hawkings.


The new textures have been applied here. This image shows two of them, as well as a cool shadow.

36 Custom Textures


My 36 custom textures show a progression in my idea. My first is not very good at all, however after understanding the concept better, the next 5 sets were alot better. I also tried to vary between straight and curved lines.

Playing Around


I was playing around with making tunnels in crisis, which i thought would be helpful to make a suspended ramp.

This is the first model i put in to start testing it out. this is prior to any land formation

Lecture 7 HW

This image encapsulates an interesting idea, that you can see through an object, and see its shadow. The shadow of the curvilinear object is seen behind it, in more the one direction. This is due to different light sources. This can be integrated into my crisis model, by creating an interesting shadow through the use of multiple lighting sources. If this can be incorporated, it would give a great visual effect.


Electroliquid Aggregation

Our population and our use of finite resources of the planet Earth, such as climate, food, etc, change the environment, as naturalists refers to it as the external conditions going ill

18 Sketches


These are the 18 sketches. I will continue to do more in my spare time as to explore the concept more and come up with more complex ideas. I personally like #8 the most, due to its complex yet aesthetically pleasing state.

Draft Sketch Up Model (skeleton/beams)

Climbing (Richard Goodwin), Death (Ricky Swallow)
Explaination:
Climbing: The climbing part of this section was inspired by the rocky cliffs that are on the east coast where i live and surf. I have to climb up and down these when searching for the best break. They are suspended to be above the datum, as the criteria states. I have put office spaces within these structures.
Death: The large pit is so that the person at the bottom feels like they are very isolated from the world. The small rooms are small offices like a morgue.

Stair 1 - Death (explaination of stair is in the Stair Post below)
Stair 2 - Climbing (explaination of stair is in the Stair Post below.

3 Textures Used in Model

Tiled
Shinny
Precise

36 Custom Textures






PROGRESSION

The above two images give a quick overview of the spaces




This image shows the swallow image as apart of the design. It also shows the texture used for underground. This image also shows how each hall way is black, so that all spaces seem the same.

This image shows some components that have been put into the model that the artist would need. Since he is an architect, computerized models are important. It would also be important for a conference room for meeting with clients.


This image shows all three textures at once, however is harder to see since small image.

This shows the gallery space which works with both designs. The actual gallery is 3 meters below the datum, and has a glass floor, so you can see the large pit. The exterior has glass on it positioned strategically so u can see up the climbing stairs. There are only stairs for climbing. The death entry is the slopes, as you would feel like you are going to slip and fall down the pit to your death.

This shows how I have incorporated the artwork into his space.
