Week 4: My Final Model

I feel like there are numerous areas that I can still improve on - interior, exterior, overall design, stairs, etc.

 In particular, one of the stairs is too steep. For some reason, SketchUp did not allow me to edit the stairs and make them wider. I will have to learn more about SketchUp in order to solve this problem. 

 By receiving feedback and evaluating my own work for Experiment 1, I hope to do much much better with my next assessment tasks! 






 The Stairs

CJ Hendry - Rubble 


Gucci - Nightmare

Important to note - after passing the stairs, one must take an elevator as well to reach the workshop. By traveling down different ways, it conveys the different experiences that a nightmare can give you. I felt like an elevator connotes to the idea of being 'trapped' as well, causing me to want to include it into my architecture.

Using paint, texture paste and extra pieces of cardboard and paper, I attempted to create an abstract/interpretative representation. The audience were encouraged to develop their own thoughts and opinion on the work. The second artwork was worked on canvas. 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

Experiment 2 : Week 1 - Research + Concepts

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. The curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman. Curves make up the entire Universe, the curved Universe of Einstein" "I consciously ignored the highly praised right angle and the rational architecture of T-squares and triangles," he said, "in order to wholeheartedly enter the world of curves and new shapes made possible by the introduction of concrete into the building process."
