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.

  1. Hi Sehaj. Todays class has been moved to an online format as a result of COVID-19 concerns. Please see the post on my blog with instructions on how we will go about this. Chris

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

Design Journal 08/03/2020

Begun translating mys section into a 3D Design, currently the exterior of the upper floor and gallery is complete. Two Stairs need to be either redesgined or added, and lansdcape modelling is incomplete. Basic progression in the build is shown through the images below. The following section has been chosen for construction. Diffuse Striation The hexagonal dome was the most obious part of the section and so was intially constructed, a smaller dome being madw within to act as a sort of photography studio for the Kyza. The stright parts of the section were elongated into a trapezoidal shape to accomodate a geodesic structure at the edge. The edges expand to emphasise the experience of the widening of the space and the panoramic views of the landscape offered. The first floor was similarly articulated with basic geometric shapes and considerations for natural lighting through galss windows.  To increase the complexity of the stuructre curves were added into the roof  to metonomise...

Cardboard Model Making

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.
