My 3 Hypothesis

Isacc Newton:

Isacc Newton was enthused byt he light spectrum and how white light can be transformed into other colours by passing it through various shapes, materials and spaces.

Maria Agnesi:

Maria Agnesi was talented in exploring different geometries, she was inspired to do this through her passion of mathematics.

Sigmund Freud:

Freud was an Austrian neurologist, enthused by the different ways in which the brain could/can shape ideas.

Final Submission (Animations)

Final Submission (Stills)

1. This image is of my model in its entirety, yet without the surrounding parklands. This image displays all improved aspects of my model since my last upload, this image displays how i have introduced the "sharp" texture to the pointed roof of the design and also the "organic" material to the lower/underground walls of the structure. This image also displays the improvements i have made to the back set of interior stairs, i have scaled the stairs to good measure and separated the design into two materials providing the natural element. It can also be seen that i have incorporated ramps and ladders into the lower half of my model to give access into all spaces i have developed.

2. This image also displays the majority of the features mentioned above yet includes the surrounding parklands i have developed and is a sectional view cut through the front set of stairs.

3. I have included this image to present a few of the textures i have used at a closer range of viewing as well as presenting a clear image of one of the ramps i have included in the underground interior space of my model.

Inspired Video

My works have been inspired by ships and shipwrecks, the pointed front / top and the squared off edges and back show a clear comparison to my design, ship wrecks also display a visual feeling of abandonment which is one of the words I have chosen to present in my work.

Week 4 Design.

For my Week 4 design i have incorporated both the dense and hollow materials into my design, as well as an additional staircase of different design, see "concept stair designs" below. I have also included the two art works which have inspired my abstractly inspired my sketchup model. I have chosen to place the artworks on opposite sides / levels of my design to simply display which artwork inspired which design.

I have chosen to use the "dense" material texture on the main / core frame of my model, i have done this as generally dense materials such as concrete are used to form the exterior walls or cladding of most structures.

I have also added 50% opacity to my "hollow" texture to display to the viewer that the space behind the material is in fact hollow.

Concept Stair Designs.

After researching and gaining ideas and inspiration from others works, i have become enthused in incorporating both stairs and banister into the one design. As shown above in this concept design i have included the structural support for the stair platforms and the banister into the one design.

I have also been enthused by nature, the natural forms which can be found in rock faces and dirt mounds can be developed and utilised in architecture, and in design in general. Although not the most ergonomic design imaginable, i believe this natural style of stair has a strong visual attractiveness despite its simplicity.

Stairs And Sketchup

The images i have presented in this post display the style of stairs i have chosen to incorporate in my design both sketched and modelled on sketchup. The highest image is the design i have chosen to use for my final submission; i have redeveloped the above ground space to provide the viewer with visual yet not physical access to the uppermost regions, thus enhancing the feeling of abandonment. I have also completely redesigned my "falling" space into a more accessible area, whilst maintaining the sense of a fall through hanging elements attached to the roof of the lower level.

My 18 Spatial Environments.

This is the first sketch up model I have developed in the ARCH1101 course, as displayed in my sectional drawings above I have represented the word "abandoned" by a hollowed out triangular prism surrounded by squares and rectangles, i have chosen to do this as i believe the large open space within the triangle provides a sense of loneliness whilst the endless amount of spacial activity provided by the squares represents liveliness and thus provokes the feeling of abandonment for a viewer within the space of the triangle.

I have represented the verb "falling" in two ways, one in a visual and literal manner (the spaces falling from above) whilst at the same time i have attempted to invoke a sense of endless falling to a viewer within the space. The curved walls all slope downwards, directing the viewer in one way, down. The use of curved walls also eliminates the sense of an end/stopping point thus developing the sense that the falling never comes to an end.
