The 3D model is almost complete textures and materiality still remain, along with the sloping of the gorund as well as the completeion of online activites regarding the model (including adding the custom textures), depending on time constraints I will endevour to reder this in Lumion. 

Work proceded on the model as external components were brought in to imply usage for the spaces on the floor above. 

These componets were veichles and car lifts imported from Sketch Up's native 3d warehouse, and are credited in the photos below.





Stairs from the first submission were brought in and integrated, to help define access to the above and below levels.


The Monolithic cieling of the vestibule was given character with intircate roof art to create textures and depth.


A ramp up to the Kyza was installed in the centre of the gallery, whilst the stairs remian ofsset to the left, a sort of symbol prioritizing the access of cars to the first floor rather than that of people. Aadditionial elements were also added to the gallery to imply use, these include a reception, guiding walls for padestrian traffic and turntables to display cars.

Walls were added to the bottom floors to seperate the workshop rooms for Jansen.
A sort of parasol canopy was added to the front facade to soften the harsh geometry of the hexagonal studio dome. 




However the thinly aligned edges of the canopy futher grought out the trapezoidal galley space making the buliding look awakward from approach. Hence tit was extended to mask the extension of the gallery thereby enrich the viewers experince of the architecture as they entered the building and emphising the wide panoramic veiws offered at the gallery's end.

Evidence of Submission

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

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.
