Exp 1 Final Screenshots

Floor One

Ground Floor

Below Ground with custom furniture

The final design was developed from the above section drawing illustrating the words flying (above) and adornment (below). These ideas were modified greatly and the words were also changed to power (above) and running (below). This is illustrated in the section below.

The below textures, layered, organic, smooth and geometric were used in the final design.

Exp 1 Animations

My first animation is an general overview of the building giving a view of external and internal areas.

Animation two continues where the first left off, showing the below ground space.

Animation three gives an overview of the external shape of the building with sections highlighting the floors and division of space.

Upper floor with Hazan Motorworks Motorcycle

This screenshot of my sketchup ilustrates how the client's product fits into its surroundings. The edginess and power of the motorcycle is reflected in the jagged, angular shapes of the architecture.

Exp1: Draft Model 1

Section Drawing: Flying, Adornment

This is the first draft of my 3D sketchup version of my section. So far, I have stuck quite closely to my initial sketch but I intend on modifying this. Materials I plan to use are glass and possibly steel. The underground section is orange to highlight the difference between levels.

Before Week One

Arch of Constantine

This is a drawing of the Arch of Constantine made as part of a class on architectural history. The drawing helped me learn more about classical orders and conventions in addition to improving my sketching skills.  The structure is a triumphal Roman arch intended to be used in the victory procession of Roman soldiers returning from war and has an interesting history of being reworked with stolen sculptural reliefs. 

Sydney Opera House

This is a photo I took of the Sydney Opera House during the Vivid light show. The building was designed by Jorn Utzon and opened in 1973 and stands today as one of the architetural symbols of Sydney. The building is one of my favourites to photograph because of the way it fits into the surrounding harbour, especially during the annual light show. 

Bubble

This is an original photograph of a bubble in a playground. The photo was quite difficult to take and required a lot of attempts but I am very pleased with the end result. The buble is perfectly sharp and contains all the iridescent colours of the reflected evening light.
