ARCH1101 WEEK 3: refining sketchup model

SKETCHES

Sketching elevation and plans helped visually connect the 3 spaces and the terrain, giving me a guide to model off.

CLIENT WORK AND TEXTURES

Textures need to be made seamless in photoshop. The model and all its details are yet to be completed.

The timelapse of oyster mushrooms growing shows how my above ground space adapts to the landscape and other parts of the building.

Circulation recorded for 6pm

A scale drawing of plan done in illustrator. The team will use and overlay their own colours, texutres, shadows and circulation paths depending on time of day.

ARCH1101 WEEK 2: stair model

FURTHER PLANNING

I decided to model stair 1, as I liked the concept of the floor adapting into stairs through curved forms. However, I found it hard to start so I refined my stair sections. Through this, the design evolved to fit the curved wall of the building.

THE MODEL

The concept is based on the verb ADAPT. This is visually represented in the stair design which adapts to several curved forms. This is evident in the plan section and elevations where arcs define the path of the stairs. Each footing seamlessly intergrates into the floor and stairs above to allow for circulation and shelves for display.

ARCH1101 WEEK 2: stair sections

I first started with vague ideas and working with lines and shapes to explore stair designs. Above were my initial ideas which I further developed. Below are the 8 section sketches I completed during the week 2 studio.

STUDIO ACTIVITY

 In class we were required to select a few words to represent our dataset. For food on campus, the words we came up with were 'delicious', 'cravings', and 'nutrients'.

Palettes were created from images relating to these words in adobe capture.
