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!!!!

Outside view of my tunnel through the mountain (My space In Between)

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.
