Individual Images

Directionality of lines is emphasised through contrasting oreintations
and a lack of clear perspectival order.

Scale is visible through the juxtapostion shadows cast by the trees and padestrians.
Space is created by voids left between the landscaping, allowing for pedestrian motion.
Contrast within the floor surfaces differenciates
shared zones from exclusively padestrian areas.
Balance is created by offsetting the jagged purtusions of the ladnscaping edge and the building
with the stable, simple and repetitive longitudinal lines.
Colours originating from the various materials, textures and shades
 blend harmoniously to create a lively space. 
Textures are emphasized through the contrast of the airy vegetation against the dense, coarse brickwork.
Alignment accomates usage as the tables with power ports, aligned North-South
are always spanned by the shadows of buildings or the trees making the space acessable all day.
Proximity: is used subtly to space the landscaping edge away from the rooms
 to reduce the travel of noise whilst mainting a reasonable footpath width.
Shapes are organic within the balustrade that naturally conforms aorund the ramp.
Lines visualised through the unifrom geometry of the coloumns, lights,
and tiles,seem to converge alomost perspectivally at the hallway's end.



Repetition of elements including: bricks, tiles lamps and façadal columns
 is rendered emphatic by the perspective.

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...

Week 5 models Redone

In this blog post I detail my procedure for making various architectural models of my room at different scales and through different media through snapshots of the design process. Whilst initial models were made for this task, they seemed to be messy and inadequate as reflections of my skill, and so were remade as follows. The card model 1:20, the cardboard model 1:10 and the paper model 1:50, respectively have their construction shown below . Please take time to read the text and use the images as a flip book, a sort of timelapse detailing the construction. Card Model The first task allowed for the construction of a paper/card model, initially a paper model was made but it became flimsy for proper photography, hence a new one made of card was constructed. Due to isolation restrictions all materials used were recycled, with the main white card being old manilla folders , other materials included cling wrap and recycled advertising sheets. This model is made on a 1: 20 sca...
