WK10 Submission 10 Best Process Images

WK10 Submission 10 Best Process Images 

I used this "theme" of lined writing paper and collage type layout in order to express my design process physically, as this is basically what my brain and workspace looks like realistically. But seriously, the choice in moving away from traditional grid layout that is clean and simple is to express my process work as a narrative and to tell a story that is sensory. The theme of lined paper is throughout all written submission in order to collate my work as well as have an artistic flare.

WK8 Materials and Photoshop

The image given in Fusion360 called 'Crossroads' was such a beautiful colour mixture of pinks and purples which created, what resembles, a sunset. I chose to use this as an underlay in my render of the CMP 3D piece.
Continuing, I left the lighting of the crossroads, and put gold metal on the outside of the piece (yellow is my favourite colour so it was an obvious choice) but gold also left the highlights in the curvature noticeable and prominent.





Furthermore, I changed the material to chrome black, which allows for the purple colour, which constrasts the yellow from the gold, depending on the angle, which is seen in the last image, which seems just solid black.

Background/Environment is 'Crossroads'







First photoshop of model materials and environment

Materials used for Photoshop 1
Dark wood horizontal cladding for exterior
White horizontal cladding for back wall
Grey paint for right wall
Shelf from original image of cardboard model
Wooden batten exposed sliding stacker door
Light natural timber flooring

I wanted to link to my degree, which is Interior Architecture, and change the materials of the interior, as well as the exterior. The choice of the background is to suit the openness of the room designed, as well as the full timber framed ceilings. The largest window on the back wall leads to the relaxed nature of the structure and leaves it bright and light, which is inspired by my choice of materials on the interior. The small wooden steps at the entry was to make the building seem like it belongs in that space, as well as lets the structure be suspended on stilts to create a deeper emotive sense when using the space.


Photoshop 2







Materials
Colourbond Matt Klip-lok profile finish.
White timber floor boards
Shelf and ceiling from original model
White paint for left wall
Large seamless fixed window

I wanted this version of the activity to be contrasted to my first photoshop. This is achieved by choices a exterior that allows for sight that is obvious, done by opposite colour to the landscape. The interior is all white, making the space calm and minimal.




Photoshop 3



Materials
Mid-tone brown brick wall
Glass white hinged stacked top hung door
white brick wall for right
existing shelving

This location is Level 2 of UNSW Quad. The brick wall is the existing colour of the wall, as well as the pavers on the ground. The blue columns on either side of the structure are also existing. The light is coming from the balcony on the right of the image, which casts a shadow of the space. The room, involves 4 chairs and a large table. The white inside gives a sense of pristine and a space perfect from peaceful study or snacking. The shelves can be decorated with fake plants (or real) in order to give a more energetic ambience.

W7 Tutorial
Light models 
In this weeks tutorial activity I used one of my empty models in order to mimic the movement of light during the day to test how much light is created in the space, as well as how to overcome any over-use of shadow.

Natural outdoor lighting casts a shadow of the ceiling into the room. This is what the room would look like when the sun is to the left of the space. Realistically thinking, during bad weather or at night, strip lighting would be places on the interior beams of the room. This was the second attempt on the roof, as the first attempt was a much more darker, cramped feeling that did not match the energy I was looking for in my ideal space. As seen in the photographs above, the beams from the ceiling create a really nice shadow that would be paired well with the mirrored feature wall.

How all my attempted models are linked
Ideally, all my models are to link together to create a large model that consist of a threshold/transition space which is the foyer, then to the stairs with a mezzanine level with a balcony. This continues with the large out-of-scale dining room. There is also a bedroom with a his and her walk in closet. Here are some images of the planned out, mis-matched model.

Light grey with white architectural ceiling is top cube, which leads to the brown cube with the mezzanine level, then up the stairs to the dining room with the glass tiled-like window ceiling. 

Fusion360 2.5d Transition Space 
The idea of the this transition space is to put a space that already exists into a 2.5d format.
The first opening is a garage, then moving into a hallway with 3 vertical windows on each side, and then a large room at the end. The ceilings change heights and this is as well as the rectangular prisms rotate, creating corners and turns.

The final 2.5d Fusion360 model assembled

All pieces laid out flat in Fusion360, till in 3d model form. 

Illustrator Laser Cut file. All my pieces didn't fit into one page so a second page is made. The lines are very fine, but they are there. 

Fusion360 3d initials 
The letters for this design are C, M and P. The 'C' resembles a crescent moon, in an attempt to make my lettering and font style different and unique. The 'M' is simple and matches the curvature of the C. In my last letter, the letter P had many problems in the making of it, with many failures of creating the loft in the piece, as well as lines and faces intersecting, according to the program. The end result I am really proud of, and I would consider actually 3D printing it.
