EXP 2. WEEK 2 parallel projections and 3 parallel projections with curved facades

From the 6 shapes that were developed in week 1, different shapes are paired up to form 3 new geometric to explore the interconnection between pairs. 3 parallel projections were drawn and another 3 parallel projections were drawn from the opposite angle with a 3D curving surface around certain sections of the geometric shape.

EXP2. WEEK 1 CLASS SKETCHES and CONCEPTS

CONCEPTS

5 concepts were chosen from the list of concepts developed in class, including the two concepts that were developed by me. 

1.  Amanda Levete focuses on her facades to create a conversation/ cultural connection between the building location and purpose 

2.  Amanda Levete uses a  combination of continuous, smooth surfaces that represent a sense of elegance and peacefulness.

3.  Amanda Levete experiments with materials and geometry to create seemingly weightless, but strong architectural forms that demonstrate her understanding of space and motion. (Frances)

4. Most of Eric Miralles' architecture reflects texture and exposed natural materials. His work is referred to as 'time architecture'. His layering of materials is like the layering of memories: The space-time-metaphysical architecture. (Frances)

5. Miralles playfulness with geometry encapsulated a different side of human natures unwillingness to comply with the norm.

SKETCHES

Sketches were first developed in class on a notebook using pencil, then it was tranced twice by using tracing paper to define the lined and add different textures and hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes. Aaxometrics 

THE ANIMATIONS

This first animation shows an overview of the upper ground building and underground basement. With Gucci workshop on the lookout, the first level being the display space for CJ Hendry's work, and the second floor being a display room for Gucci products. The underground basement as the workshop for CJ Hendry.

The second animation shows sections and elevations of the complete building, which includes terrain, above the ground building, and underground building.

The third animation is a walkthrough of all parts of the building, it shows the interior of the underground, above ground and the upper section.
