EXP2 Week03: Final Development

36 Custom Textures (light to dark)

Textures Selected for Inclusion in Final Model

Light Texture

Medium Texture

 

Dark Texture

Final 3D Development Model in Crysis Wars

The textures are made up of a repeated use of simple geometric shapes, complementing the model’s representation of order and organisation.

The idea of a ‘space within a space’ represents Freud’s theory of the human mind’s organisation of thoughts and internal operations. Geometric relationships are explored through the amalgamation of multiple rectangles.



The internal spaces of the model, that are constructed by interlocking rectangular prisms, imitate the complexity of the human mind.

EXP2 Week02: Electroliquid Aggregation

3 Amalgamations of Previously Developed Models

Clients: Maria Agnesi and Sigmund Freud

Related Hypotheses: Agnesi was talented in exploring different geometries. She was inspired to do this through her passion of mathematics, and Freud developed the theory of human mind's organisation and internal operations. This design was chosen to be developed in SketchUp and imported into the Crysis Wars environment.

Clients: Sir Isaac Newton and Maria Agnesi

Related Hypotheses: Newton enjoyed collecting his sparks and developed them by connecting with complex academic problems, and Maria Agnesi presented complex circumstances in a simple way.

Clients: Sir Isaac Newton and Sigmund Freud

Related Hypotheses: Sir Isaac Newton wanted to design a parallel universe, and Sigmund Freud struggled with cancer causing contemplation in suicide.

EXP2 Week01: Land

6 Amalgamations of Rectangular Prisms

Hypothesis #1 (Left): Sir Isaac Newton wanted to design a parallel universe. This design was chosen to be developed in SketchUp and imported into the Crysis Wars environment.

Hypothesis #2 (Right): Newton enjoyed collecting his sparks and developed them by connecting with complex academic problems.  

Hypothesis #3 (Left): Sigmund Freud struggled with cancer causing contemplation in suicide.

Hypothesis #4 (Right): Freud developed the theory of human mind's organisation and internal operations.  

Hypothesis #5 (Left): Maria Agnesi presented complex circumstances in a simple way.

Hypothesis #6 (Right): Agnesi was talented in exploring different geometries. She was inspired to do this through her passion of mathematics.

3D Development Model

This image shows the two artworks, created by Mueck and Banksy, that inspired the design scheme for this architectural space. This snapshot shows the spatial relationship between the artwork and the space it is displayed in.

3D Development Model with Original Materials

This image shows how the above ground material has been used as a wallpaper around the upper floor.

This image shows how the between material has been used as floor textiles on the middle floor.

This image shows how the below ground material has been used as floor textiles on the below ground floor.

SketchUp: Week02 Stairs

4 Sets of Staircase Designs

Section Selected for New 3D Development

Above ground: Isolated

Below ground: Yearning

Again, following the advice of my tutor, I further refined my original section sketches to create a more suitable architectural design for the task.

 

3D Development Model of New Section with Stairs

In the final 3D Develepment model, I decided to use Staircase Design #3 to transport people to the above ground floor and Staircase Design #4 to transport people to the below ground space.

The materials that I have chosen for this design scheme are glass/curtain wall for both above and below spaces and concrete for all other existing walls and structures.

SketchUp: Week 01

 18 Original Sections



Section Selected for 3D Development

Above ground: Angry
Below ground: Yearning

Using advice from my tutor, I switched the above and below ground images from the original sketch, to create a more practical building space. The 3D model is based on this refined section plan where "angry" is represented above ground and "yearning" is represented below ground.

The material I have chosen is glass/curtain wall.
