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.

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.
