Custom Textures

‘Abrasive’ provides uniquely personal and beautiful (in the Burkean sense) texture within an otherwise monolithic, geometric space. It fosters a fascinating interplay between the privileged viewpoints of the car and the workspace, microcosmically embodying the challenges and values imbued within the space, and its design. 


Light heartedness of the colouration in ‘Smooth’ helps to define a generally pleasant and artistic building inviting the viewer into the gallery. Its application onto the large draping canopy suggesting a unique approach to design, manifesting as a curiosity towards the gallery and the work within.
   
The darker ‘Etched’ texture was imposed disjunctively upon the roof structure to emphasise the genteel nature of the curvatures. It was employed away from areas of congregation as to not overpower the observers scale, but instead contrast against the more circular, glistening, white roofs; made further graceful by those geometric shadows overcast.

However when made to upload the file, Sketch Up automatically adjuested the file size to within the requirements, I am unware of the process by which this was done and so can not attest for the quality of the final model in relation to the model which is visible infront of me the author. To download the original model please click the google drive link below, taking care to download both the .skp and .skb files before opening. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yvdMAz2PMUxV0mcoWn6G9GlERUjdHA70

This blog post details my procedure for making an archtiectual model of my room thorugh snapshots of the desgin process. This model is made cardboard on a 1: 20 scale. The model itself was initially glued together but due to the thick corrugation the glue started to seep in and lose strength, as a result tape was added for extra reinforcement.

History 2: Essay Reformatted for Web

My first formal submission for architectural history 2 required three informal essays or 'academic articles' which required explaining the architectural significance of three otherwise normal words. My assignment is presented as submitted, however, much of the presentation has been lost due to the blogger conversion, regardless I hope that you give it a read and that it abides by its praise of intellectual stimulation and overcomes the rather valid critiques of convolution. Enjoy! High Tech High-tech’ emerged as one of the “several persuasions”  of modernism which aimed to reinvigorate its ideals through a proper engagement with the “mind of technology” . A fusion of engineering and architecture, the movement captured the zeitgeist of 1960’s ‘Technological Utopianism’ and envisaged mechanised, adaptive environments. Initially derived as an experimental fusion of Archigram’s science fiction, Buckminster Fuller’s ‘Superstructure’ and Joesph Paxton’s ‘Crystal Place’, it went on to...
