After a little random digging....

I was looking through various images on the internet and I came across these two photographs which made me think of the prisms and landscapes - I really liked how they actually looked (which surprised me) and I found their concrete materiality especially relevant to Oscar Neimeyer's works. The images also made me re-think my landscape for my buildings, as currently I'd made my landscape as a pretty stock standard island with forrest, cliffs and lakes and on and on. But thinking about it these concrete buildings look all the more spectacular in the snow...I wonder if I could make a snow landscape/mountain? I do want to but my tall sketch-up model on a mountain top as the shadow it casts is very peculiar...hmmmm...


 The photographs are of The Concrete Church by Walter Maria Förderer

12 Axonometric Drawings

Below are my 6 Axonometric drawings (paired with their 6 from another angle)





Drafted Axos from Class



These are my Axos that I drew in class on the 28th of March - I don't like them so I might tweak them a bit for a final set of drawings. I tried to do some of the rotational drawings and mucked them up (the crossed through axos) so hopefully I'll have better look with the next set.

Link to my Sketch-Up

After a mild freak-out about not being able to upload my model I went to a file-sharing site and have uploaded my model there. The website is below; hopefully this will allow for adequate assess to the model.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Brad I've been trying to upload my model to Sketch-up 3D warehouse since 6pm and no matter what I do my file is too big. The original file (for some god forsaken reason) was close to 80MB and I managed to get it down to 51.8MB when I deleted all textures and trees.... I don't know what to do....
