3.10 Final Model

Final Model

I fixed all the problems that I had with importing sketch up model to cry engine. Thanks Russell!!!

the final model is located differently from what I thought at first. By locating building in diagonal (heading to the way of the river flow, the model has much better view from every angles.

The folly is located on water, floating. To get to folly, there are elevator in bottom floor, near lecture theatre. The folly is used as meeting place, and view point.

The ring like shaped rooms are study rooms (such as studio or offices). It is allocated in different angles each by each, which allow the distinctive view from the hall way( in the middle if the rings).

The studio and all the rooms are in base of hexagon, which is the same shape it can be found around environment. The environment, the Han Tan River, is showing somewhat distinctive feature that made from volcanic magma. Because of this the rock cliff shows the hexagon shape. All the rooms are resembling the local environment in hexagon shape.

The final model is somewhat stable in its structure and well adopted to environment. It minimized the disadvantage of surrounding environment, whereas be a land mark in its unique feature. In considering, the building purpose, which is academic space, the rooms are allocated to be quiet, and organized. Also the different hight of the building make it possible to see the different view of environment of each the sides.

3.08 CryEngine Environment

The CryEngine Environment

the Cry Engine Environment is featuring the Han Tan River. On the one side of river is mostly consist of rock cliff without trees. On the other side the environment is low mountain that has a lots of vegetation. The vegetation is consist of pine trees and large leaf trees.

There are some problems that importing sketch up model to cry engine. Only one part could be imported.

3.07 Inspiration

1. Sung-Il-Kyo

I got inspiration from Sung-Il-Kyo in Korea. It is built during 1948 to 1958. The distinctive feature of this bridge is that it is built in two different method. It is because the half is built by People from South Korea, and the other half is constructed by people from north. It has flat top and columns supporting in down part of bridge. The column is somewhat thick which I thought of putting "Rooms into Building".

2. Sagrada Familia

Second inspiration I got was from Sagrada Familia. The building is somewhat resembles the nature form. From this point, I thought of designing building in form of nature.

3.06 SketchUp model

SketchUp Model

The SketchUp Model show the bridge, folly, and elevators.

The folly is based from the F-shped prism from the perspective drawing exercise. It is used as meeting place and view point of the riverside.

The bridge is consist of several rooms and hallway. On the top floor, the Dean's office and 3 programs head office is located. This is because the top floor has the most fine view.

On one floor below there are place for staff, which is meeting place for staff, office for general staff, research for academic staff, and Academic staff offices. All the staff area is located here in purpose of making quiet environment for staff.

One more floor below that there are library/meeting place for student and workshop/gallery. The Library and gallery is somewhat quiet place which blocks the noise cause by students from bottom levels to staffs in upper levels.

The bottom floor is student areas that has student computer las and studio, and lecture theatre.

There are two elevator connecting the folly and the bridge and another one connecting the floors. The elevator connecting folly and the bridge is located in same floor as lecture theatre where is the bottom floor.

Mash Up

Good Design is something nice and shiny, which makes art describes world. It is based on minimal design. Like black, simple is Fabulous. Space and the texture, material create, environments. Between designs, clear is needed. Simple is ‘Yes!’, clear.

2.05 Final Submissions

Final Submission

Controlled Chaos + Flexibility/Irrationality (Opposite Direction) = Contrast Complexity

Day time shots

The monument is located on the meeting point of river and ocean. The part of monument is facing river, which make visiter possible to see river well from the monument. The landscape maximize the function of monument. The thick prism of the monument sustains the whole part of monument. Also the texture becomes darker when it goes to top part. The feature of the monument is showing complexity. The background landscape has a good view which is consisted of stone mountain.

Night time Shots

The night time, monument is popping out from the background landscape. The light is located in the middle of the monument, which it emphasis the inside of monument. The colour of the light matches well with the texture of monument and colour of monument.

2.04 Final Sketchup Model

Final Sketchup Model

Controlled Chaos + Flexibility/Irrationality (Opposite Direction) = Contrast Complexity

Carlo Scarpa : Controlled Chaos
Carlo Scarpa's work show a business on design. The complexity of Architecture brings the idea of Chaos. However, Carlo Scarpa has designed complex building on purpose. Also when it look closely, in the complexity of building, there are pattern and rhythm on the design. Therefore, Carlo Scarpa's work can be describe as 'Controlled Chaos'.

Toyo Ito : Flexibility/Irrationality

Toyo Ito's works give visitors a sense of astonishment. The design are somewhat different to normal building. It breaks the rational thinking such as tall buildings must have to be built with lots of concrete. His Idea is flexible. He brings a not common material to build the wall. Also he brings the concept which has no relationship to building. Therefore, Toyo Ito's work can be said as 'Flexibility/Irrationality'.

Electroliquid Aggregation : Contrast Complexity

The monument created from the concept of Carlo Scarpa and Toyo Ito, can be describe as 'Contrast Complexity'. The monument is heading to different direction and it creates complexity. Also the opposite direction creates contrast. The contrast is also be found in different size of rectangular prisms.
