Ok, so this is basically my expected pin-up for Tuesday’s final formative crit of the project. I haven’t touched the actual design drawings since Easter Sunday, primarily because I was sick of looking at them and needed to take a step back so I could get a clear view of the entire picture again; as well as bring some of the “narrative” elements up to speed. I think, whilst some may question the move, it was in fact beneficial. I can see a lot more now of what needs to be done with the 1:50, amongst other things, and the week “break” from that particular element also allowed me to better understand how Vray works, so hopefully I’ll be able to apply it better to the 1:50 & other drawings when I get some better textures. The biggest thing that is missing is a wider context map of the city. The one I have, and have worked with, I’m not happy with how I’ve represented it previously; and there are new layers that I want to add to it. I’d also prefer to avoid doing “yet another isometric” view, as I have so many. So, I’ve got that to work out. Elements of the stacked plans also need to be fixed.
Still a lot of work to do.
Annotations still to come, added hidden linework. Also, there are a significant number of elements to be added or fixed - add in geology, indicative foundations, better drainage indicators, better suspended ceiling indicators, along with ventilation (especially in the datacentre). Oh, and of course, add some damn framework to the huge vertical screens on the stage. These ain’t Monoliths from 2001…
Trying a collage using the poster from the beginning of the project, shrinking down to A3, to use as the cover image for the folio/blurb.
Exploded “worm-eye” axonometric of the auditorium space w/ atrium canopy above and columns. Love the image, will use it for collage purposes, for e.g. see the poster.
Reworked version, with new key text and rearranged clipping masks. Loved the way previous photo fit seamlessly, but I felt that a cluster of people, rather than a single person, better fit the narrative. Can’t have everything :/
The “narrative” element of the pin-up. Need to figure out how I can incorporate, or translate, some of these to diagrams, or iconography.
Second exploded axonometric for the pin-up. This one is the combined programmatic & technical diagram. Again, annotations still to come, along with additional technical highlights - for instance, the electrochromic windows (considering how I currently lack any other obvious acknowledgement of environmental e.g. solar, concerns).
Blue version, with some annotations added. I think I prefer this one - mainly because it fits with the massing & enviro diagrams, shown to the right.
The massing & enviro diagrams. Some bits and pieces can still be added. Both this and the previous image taught me a lot about how VRay works, as well as how cool atmospheric scattering can be when you get it right.
Render view of the proposal, looking from Kristof ter. The plaza is the last big thing I need to design.
Internal view of the atrium, looking from the first floor access corridor.
Stacked axonometric of the plans. Elements are missing or incorrect, still to be fixed.
These sections and elevations haven’t been touched since last week.
Found a new, better, texture to represent the exterior stonework. I’ll look at re-rendering this to incorporate the new one.
Hello, I’m a section.
