Project 2: Week 6

Final Renders:

Animation

My final design allows for a great view between the exercise facilities and the Squarehouse while allowing easy access to classrooms, lecture theatres and study areas. By connecting the facilities it shows the dynamics and flow of how the people engage and walk throughout the building.

Hero Shot 

Detail Shot

The hero shot is of the left side of the building and since it is symmetrical, reveals all the exterior architectural forms and materials of the building. It reveals the complex use of glass and light coloured materials to convey the initial ideas of illumination, the use of simplicity and functionality to make an inviting public space.

The detail shot shown above encompasses the central staircase which leads from the ground level to the Auto Fabrica workshop and highlights the significance of centrality and a focal point in the public gallery in the building. The textures are also seen as a compliment to the space, rather than dominating, as the focus is on the respective artists/companies designs and products.

Assignment One: Staircase Models

The first floor is inspired by Bernabei Freeman and encompasses the words circular, illuminating and texture to create my spiral, marble stairs beside a glass window. The underground floor uses the ideas of metal, functioning and slick from Auto Fabrica to influence my metallic, minimalistic yet efficient staircase.

Week One

Best piece of creative work:

The first proper painting of my home and my physical surroundings. It captures my creative side through the use of a bright and vivid colour scheme while also conveying a compilation of my daily life to and from high school.

Image of a great piece of architecture:

The Milan Cathedral is an amazing piece of gothic architecture built in the Renaissance era and stands nearly at a height of 100m. I visited this building in late 2017 and felt its grandeur and fine details, showing how important the church was back then as the effort put in must have been enormous.

Original photograph of something beautiful:

This is a picture of an NZ cricket pitch which I played at. The field was secluded in beautiful scenery of bright green trees and in a valley beneath the large NZ mountains. This challenged my idea of how a cricket pitch should be made. Instead of making land for a cricket pitch, but rather making cricket for the land.
