Research: Coca Cola Images

Whilst traipsing through the internet I came upon this link to a proposed pavilion for the London 2012 Olympics that was related to Coca-Cola. I really liked the building use of colour as I had thought to employ both Facebook and coca-cola's signature colours of red and blue merging together to a white point of connection. However I would look to gradate my colour more than what is shown in these images.

EXP3 Week 1

I've chosen to do the Twelve Apostles in Victoria, Australia as my landscape area - I found it really interesting looking through all the images of the sight as most of them are either very bright, in a harsh white light or with a brilliant sunset with by them but that's not what I thought of them. So when I saw this image I felt I connected with it a lot more as its more moody and focuses on the nature of the landscape and how the Apostlse stand alone as entities... I just thought it was more atmospheric... 

Hence I tried to shot my own Crysis in a darker light and time

Power

People with identity and connections have power. However people are users and typically can be manipulated and managed. There is a significance to secrecy. By directing and staggering information accordingly and keeping closely guarded secrets a person can be given opportunities for where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and many use their power unfairly.

ARGHHH CHOICES

Electroliquid Aggregation

CONCEPTS:

Niemeyer: Architecture is exploring  the formal possibilities of reinforced concrete

Sullivan: Architecture is a functional item to be used to add hierarchy to a building (form follows function)

ELECTROLIQUID AGGREGATION:

FIRST ATTEMPT:The functional possibilities of concrete's materiality should be used to create a sense of order within the architecture.


AFTER CLASS DISCUSSION: Exploring hierarchy form(s) possibility.

Progression Work: Tunnel!!!!

Version .3

Two Axo's in Landscape2

So after much toil I have a semi-snowed landscape. Still haven't been able to make it actually snow, and the ice/snow texture does some WEIRD things when you get close to it BUT it'll do for now as a draft. I'm happy how the two monuments sit in this sight (colour wise, textures, lines....) I rearrange some the location of the two monuments so that the "skyscraper" is now actually on the lowest part of the landscape - however it is tall enough that it's main area of interest (the top linear section) sits in amongst the mountain tops. I chose this location for it as it dramatises the height and thinness of the structure from the base when one looks up at, almost as though it touches the sky. Yet at the same time looking at the structure from the other monument (the puzzle) or even the mountain tops the 'head' of the structure still promotes interest for the user and sits apart from the landscape as it is one that is very vertically inclined compared to the structures play on horizontal lines.

I also like the "puzzle" being on a mountain top as it is a very solid, blocky structure compared to the "skyscraper" and I think in its place on the mountain top it is given a lot more prominence and it also sits in well to the landscape. It appears almost as a surprise to have such a heavy structure in amongst the particular landscape I have generated.

Two Axos in Crysis

Below are my images from Crysis. I'm not particularly found of this landscape (especially after seeing the images of the concrete building in the snow!) So i'll probably make another landscape up, that is if I have enough time too!

View of monument 1 from the far side of my island (the export didn't fully work as it turned my bloody monument red....)

Monument 2 from the cliff of the forest showing it as the block between the lake and the sea

Monument 2 underwater from the lake side - this image shows the submerged parts of the monument

I added texture that I made online to the both monuments (even though they only show in this one...grrr) I only used black and white as I imagined they'd  be textures scrated into concrete to create detailing rather than using a material such as bricks or tiles)

View of both monuments together but from the height of the monument 1 to give perspective on it's "skyscraper" nature. Although tall in it's own right it has also been placed on the Island's highest point.
