Experiment 3 : week 2

Draw a series of 6 two point perspectives exploring the space bounding opportunities that exist between three "H-Shaped" prisms in space. The proportions of the H-shaped prisms should be different in each of your 6 drawings. Use carefully hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes.

THE MASH UP

Having her name spread throughout across diffrent nations, Madonna
who is an ambitious, pulchritude & relentless self-independence woman has become one of the famous recording artist in 20th century. Recently, this strong-minded pop icon artist has just released her new clothing line business, which is name after her new debut song album "Circus".
The team of circus organize a modern high fashion runway event which invites all gender and diffrent wealth classes society to participate: gay, lesbian, heterosexual and bisexual. It's the biggest line up for circus which cover all trends of fashion as Madonna expresses her open-minded opinion to the society by adopting babies from diffrent countries.
Prada, who is the most influential clothing designer in the history of fashion was disturbed by it and she is going to stand up to her belief by battling up Madonna's point of view towards streotype. The powerful designer who rule over fashion business will never let Madonna outbest her. Prada will control the production of all international fashion product firmly and only the riches will prevail. Hence, taking over the power of supremacy in the fashion industry.
Soon, Barrack Obama is involved as well. The new democrated elected president of America, who supports gay rights at Illinois Senate thinks that the event would push the gay love relationship to marriage which is not what he totally agree as marriage is something sanctified between man and woman. Thus, he is trying to put forward new event that will totally divert people's attention away from the Circus and Prada show by convincing the nation to vote for him in the new upcoming election which will discuss civil union.
The strongest will totally wipe-out the weak and conquer them, leaving those in the depth of sorrow, crying for mercy.
It's time for some changes to happen but only the chosen one will win the heated competition.

The following building that i created through 3D unreal program is based on one of my sketches.




Basically, i chose this because of it looks sleek and edgy when we look it at diffrent angle.
However, i realize that such slim shape of a building would pose problems when creating a meeting space for the 2 clients that i have chosen.









I believe by giving some layering to the building itself, it will create spacious environment which is perfect for the 2 clients to make out.








Beautiful scenery can be seen when looking up from below horizontal-view.







This is the above horizontal and horizontal view, where the 2 clients will meet..







EXPERIMENT 3: THE BRIDGE
For this week's tutorial, the students were supposed to choose a specific business from two of the three clients and create an architecture consisting of three spaces; one above a horizontal surface, one below the surface and one hanging from the horizontal surface itself. The spaces above and below the horizontal surface are the clients offices (imagine they actually run their business' from there).
Below are some samples of bridge design which embody the "F" shape letter...

THREE QUOTES




Alfred Nobel (chosen quote)
"Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness"
The comment given by Nobel is quite abstract, it shows the hidden opposite meaning towards something which is not beautiful and thus, it's not forseeable with our naked eye .Michael Evlanoff, Marjorie Fluor, Alfred Nobel, the loneliest millionaire (W. Ritchie Press, 1969), 180






Jacques-Yves Consteau (chosen quote)
"When one man, whatever reason has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life...
This quote shows hope and determination, anything is possible to achieve if anyone perservere ..
Just like design itself..it takes few steps to come closer to one's goal..







Keith Campbell..
Cloning may be good and bad. Probably it's a bit of both. The question must not be greeted with reflex hysteria but decided quietly...Less emotion but more thought.
http://www.paralumun.com/
This quote shows the way people think about cloning..
2 diffrent point of views of a subject which what design is all about as there are good and bad points to it.






AXYNOMETRIC (18 sketches, Intersection + shots of diffrent angle) and 36 custom textures...


Jacques yves Consteau..
the sketches show people that a simple thing can be special in many diffrent ways..













Alfred Nobel..the beauty of its shape is hidden through the structure..













Intersection from each of the 2 previous designs which are inspired by the 2 clients and showing the diffrent angle sides..(Follow the order)

























36 Custom texture (Dark to light) - (topright - bottom left)

Alfred Nobel's"Hope is nature’s veil for hiding truths nakedness."


Jacques Yves Cousteau"From birth, man carries weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."ComesFrom birth, Hope carries the weight of gravity. Where He is bolted to earth, nature veils the man of hiding but only to sink him beneath the surface baring all truths and in his nakedness and he is free.


Frap Capture Image

Follow this link to check on my unreal model: http://files.filefront.com/13711712

Basically this week, we need to build a real model from our sketches to an unimaginable 3D building which can be accessed through unreal.exe. The building then will be captured with the use of Frap* program...



This building is inspired by some of the quotes from the 2 clients which i picked.. Alfred Nobel and Jacques.. It symbolizes beauty and cannot be seen through the naked eyes. A simple design which does not has to be the craziest of all in order for someone to understand its concept easily..







It's obvious that the inner structure of the building is similar to a long-way tunnel. I made use of this concept in such a way that the light is getting dimmer as we move through the deeper part of the building.. The building was made to be simple and yet extraordinary when living in it. This is one of the quote which i took from my client (jacques Consteau) and i took this quote into consideration.





As you can see that i applied some of my 36 custom textures onto the building and arrange them in such a way that when the light hits it, variation of diffrent light tone can be seen. Of course as the building goes deeper, the darker the wallpaper will be..
