Interior - Showing light effects

The interior spaces are pretty spartan as I wanted to show the full effect of how the architecture manipulates light- refracting and bouncing off surfaces in interesting shapes and patterns depending on the angle of the sunlight.

Experimenting with light through my lasercut pattern

Lasercutting


The cut out parts from the "open air spa" level. Make interesting island shapes. Could be used for the urban private part multifunctional area (sitting, steps, lying down), as they can be arranged to make overhangs for privacy/reading, gentle slopes for sitting, or tables for study areas. 


A "Table" and seat made by the two islands.

Compelling, interesting shapes. This could be a group area or the steep side used for private study.

Play area for kids?

Building Take #2

Playing around with elements of football. Wrapped the field lines  in a random way around the object.



Extruding and pushing back particular parts of the building between the football boundary lines to create a wacky shape. The paths around the building could be a continuation of the football field- street soccer is played within narrow confines. It could also be a way of linking the compartments and would be in interesting transition space.

Working out the dimensions and how to arrange the shapes.

COLLAGE - Mid Semester Crit

Original idea for my collage: "boxes" and compartments
Finished Collage- Showing the "levels"

Thursday, 8 September 2011

Initial Concept

3D Tetris made into a building form. The separate shapes twist into negative/positive spaces left by the other shapes. There aren't defined levels, the "floors" are separated by each block.

Materials!

Could possibly take an aspect of these and develop it into a wall texture, material or facade.

Looking at material, texture, colour, logo. And the extreme coolness that is Chelsea and Lampard.


The panels could be used as a way for the building facade to fit together or maybe it could be the floor material.
The studs could be an interesting pattern for the ground, scaled up in size as the "obstacles" that people play around.

Beckham is cool. That is all.
