Sketchup model studio space 1

Youtube video

This video shows the battle of airships in the game final fantasy 12 which inspires me to design my design of the building which have quite a similar shape to the building. The structure of the airships have the structure of massive buildings and which also have the criteria of the words I chosen which is sharp and complex.

36 textures

Stairs 2

Stair sections:

Drawn sections for the both studios

Sketchup models for the stair sections underground:

Research on chosen artist works

Fiona Hall:

Holdfast (Macrocystis angustifolia/ giant kelp) 2007

The material of the design were aluminium and tin where both materials come from sardine cans and discarded materials. Halls normally uses ordinary objects and materials where only conventional production techniques were needed. The interest of hers in botanical classfication can be one of the most influential inspiration in this design.

Rosalie Gasciogne:

Canary Bird 1996

The material of the design was from road signs where they have a reflective naturem hence the effects of reflection were achieved. Road signs were broken down and aligned in different positions and orders. The design where then exhibited on wood at the dimension of 75cm x 60cm.

Task 1

The model was created express the presence of a focal 

point where sharp edged forms bring the eye around the

swirl motion into the middle of the elevated form. The model 

was purely abstract where it doesn't represents any function. 

This model encouraged me to use certain aspects such as 

scale and space to achieve different effects in an imaginary

space.

The Millau Viaduct, which is the tallest bridge in the world

which reached 343 meters and has the length of approximately

2.4kilometres.  The massive structure insprires me where 

a sense of wanting to be a part of creating such an enourmous 

structure forms because it shows me the wide area of architectural 

possibilities and showing me how humans stretch their limits

of creating something nearly impossible.

The Lamborghini Gallardo, a masterpiece in design. This

shows the abilities of humans using science and creativity

to achieve excellence as such using aerodynamics to defy 

physics to achieve absurd speed. This inspires me that

architectural works can achieve their best functionality 

through the usage of physics knowledge and improving 

the practicality of a certain structure.

HALL: metal, appearing, sharp

MOFFAT: engine, stopped, horrifying

GASCOIGNE: rectangle, repeating, complex
