SKETCHUP: You can find my SketchUp model in the 3D warehouse using the following tags: #ARCH1101 #z5209423 #Project 2 The title of the model is 'Light Rail Stop Sarah Leung' LUMION:  Link:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZSCkJAMHuZ-IO75N26Gz51XQNYXr4-m2/view?usp=sharing

I mixed up my axonometric drawings and create a new set of amalgamations! I believe these represent my concepts better and will give me a better idea of how to create my light rail and siting architecture.

1ST SET OF AXONOMETRIC DRAWINGS 1. OSCAR NIEMEYER Rhythm/Repetition - There is unified, repeated movement, certain patterns or shapes run across the structures, creating a sense of rhythm .   2. BENEDETTA TAGLIABUE Complex, convoluted - Further study is needed for each building to fully comprehend its form. There is intricate design work - multiple lines, shapes, forms, colours, materials, etc LUMION MODEL 1 2ND SET OF AXONOMETRIC DRAWINGS

WEEK 1: AXONOMETRIC DRAWINGS 1. OSCAR NIEMEYER 1.  Curved Lines - Free-flowing and sensual curves. The importance of flexibility and fluidity and avoiding the hard and rigid. 2.  Rhythm/Repetition - There is unified, repeated movement, certain patterns or shapes run across the structures, creating a sense of rhythm . 3.  Balance - There seems to be a balance between the 'light' and the 'heavy'. Some components take a lighter, more gentle feel whilst others seem more complex and weighty/bulky. 2. BENEDETTA TAGLIABUE 1.  Geometry (combined together) - Unique shapes of different forms and sizes combine together to create new, innovative building designs. There are several components and not just one single geometrical figure.  2.  Movement -  The form of the shapes and lines of the building expresses dynamic, energetic, vibrant movement and rhythm.  3.  Complex, convoluted - Further study is needed for each building to fully comprehen

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."
