Week 3: Videos

I found 3 videos which I thought related to Project 1. They helped me in my designs and understanding of architecture in general. 

These videos touch on applying texture to a model, creating stairs on SketchUp using “The threads are components” method and discusses the importance of surface, materiality and ornaments in architecture.

Foil was scrunched up and distorted into different textures to imitate qualities of metal. Ripped pieces of cardboard, paper, layers of paint, texture paste and brown powder were used create an overall grubby look. The base of the third artwork was cardboard. Multipl

WEEK 1: RESEARCH ON ARCHITECTS + CONCEPTS 1. OSCAR NIEMEYER 1907 - 2012 Brazilian architect Key developer of modern architecture Lauded + criticised for being "sculptor of monuments" "the architect who eradicated the straight line" Strongly influenced by Le Corbusier Abstract forms + curves - " I am not attracted to straight angles or to the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves.
