Lecture 7 - Black Box

 

This image is the one that inspired me to use the technique of using shadows as a part of creating the design of the structure in my design. The usage of the shadows in different angles represents different lighting and structural effects that gives the structure a stronger and more cubic nature where as the usage of penumbra, blur of the shadows, near a bit more lit area gives the texture around less heavy nature. Different placement of structure espacially in the interior of the structure reflects the shadows in different angles that highlights the height and position of floating objects in the air around the interior structure. The usage of dimmed blue light for the Cousteau's laboratory gives the structure a in water effect that incorporates with the shadow of the structures around.

Final Submission - Video

This is a video showing the upper level sections where it cuts throught the whole surface then the interior spaces were shown where the stairs, studio space and also the gallery space were shown.



This is a vide showing the sections of the under ground level which is the studio space for Rosalie Gascoigne. The sections go through the stairs and the overall shape of the underground level is shown.



This video shows the movement from the lower level through the stairs into the gallery space then moving on the the upper level where the other studio is present by the stairs connecting to the upper level.

Final Submission - Photos

The overall sructure of the model (words are sharp [upper ground] and complex [lower ground]).

A close shot of the stairs of the upper ground level with the concept, sharp.

A section shot of the upper ground stairs where it connects from the gallery space to the studio space.

A section shot of the lower ground stairs which connects the lower ground to the gallery space.

The 3 textures I used in this model are shown below:

Beautiful - for the gallery space

Scaley - for the underground space

compressed - for the above ground space

Gallery Space:

Textures were added to the floor surface of the gallery space, studio spaces for both above ground and underground.

Studio space (above ground)

Studio space (under ground)

Textures were also used on various floor surfaces of the model.
