Exp 3 Final Submission

 These Images show the Deans Lift which is a small rotating platform with rings rotating around it. I used one of my rotational textures in conjunction with the spinning disc to give a powerful feel to the lift/

 This is the students elevator which has spinning triangular elements and an explosive motion texture on the platform. I used the triangles and the texture to convey the chaotic and rushing nature of university students.

 The Librarby cantillevers out of the cliff face which relates back to my idea of cantilevering, verticality and minimal environmental impact working in harmony.

 This tall slender tower contains the computer labs and the lecture hall

 Arieal view of the bridge spanning the valley

 This is a close up shot of the architectural folly. It is a jetty-like area with seating and shelter it relates back to my initial concept of cantilevers with the shelter only being supported at one end by a pillar

 

These images are of the gallery and office buildings which cantilever out over the water and attach to the Bridge

Canitlevering has to have strength and power along with verticality in order to stimulate the eye and mind. This collaboration will also allow vertical distribution of the programme resulting with a structure that has miniaml environmental impact and very high visability. It will inspire the students to look beyond the common and expected for their problem solving design ideas.

Valley Inspiraion & Draft Environment

The Valley I  have chosen is located in Northern Australia in the Kimberly. It is a gorge known at the King George Falls.

3 Textures Used

Light

 

 

 

I chose this texture to convey Charles Mackintosh's ideaof using simplistic materials and his intergration of Japanese design element in his architecture. It relates to the electroliquid aggregation by given the viewer the impression it is a natural material used vertically.

 

 

Medium

 

 

This texture is very natural in appearence. I chose this texture to illustrate Ken Yeangs idea of gardens in the sky and his incorperation of vegetaion in his architecture. It also relates to the electroliquid aggregation by coveying the idea of natural elements in simple forms.

 

Dark

 

 This dark texture was chosen because it gave the high platform a very heavy appearence whislt still aloowing it to look simple, an element found thoughout Mackintosh's design and architecture. This texture looks like it came from an urban environment and therfore connects to my electoliquid aggrigation.

Electroliquid Aggrigation

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH:

Use of simple forms and natural materials


KEN YEANG:

Believes in vertical green urbanism.


ELECTROLIQUID AGGRIGATION:

Urbanism believes in simple fortms and vertically green, natural materials.

Final Submission

For my final submission I've used my Shinya Kimura above ground studio representing steel and my Antonio Strativari below ground representing elegance. I used some textures from Sketch up as well as my own from our 36 textures exercises which I have added colour to.

I've had to separate the two studios because every time I put them into the same file, Sketchup would crash. I have also had to upload the files to Dropbox because they were too large for 3D Warehouse.
