Final Submission

Following on my electroliquid aggregation of two concepts from class to create "Individual entities provide harmonious moments of viewing architecture" I developed a SketchUp model that fosters this idea of having different spaces to view the architecture, leading to a heightened appreciation of the monuments. Moreover, I wanted to appropriately represent the architects in a distinctive yet respectful manner between an intimate meeting place. For Hans Scharoun, I wanted the space the be secure yet still connected the the exterior landscape, much like his Schminke House.  Contrastingly, for Daniel Libeskind's monument I wanted to mimic his control of the viewer's movement and emotions within his architecture, such as in his Jewish Museum in Berlin. The bridge monument kindles a feeling of uneasiness and obstruction within the architecture students, high above the sea below.

The dark night sky allows the contrasting white and black forms of the textures to become intrinsic to the surface of the monuments.

Detailed entrance from Libeskind's monument into the intimate meeting space of the structure. The bridge monument is cut in random directions to contribute to the feelings of uneasiness whilst on the monument.

The walkway that protudes from the centre of the meeting place allows for another harmonious viewpoint of the monuments. Moreover is acts a metaphorical and physical middle ground for the structure between the monuments.

Hans Scharoun's monument connecting onto the landscape, mimicing the manner in which the Schminke House blurs the boundary between interior and exterior spaces.

Textures applied to model

Light texture

Light web-like texture added to Libeskind's monument and surrounding detailing. The jagged nature of the texture contributes to the feelings of insecurity amongst the architecture students.

Medium Texture

Medium texture applied to most the the structure. Reduced to a small size the dotted texture blends into a matte surface on the monuments.

Dark Texture

The dark texture is applied to the datum surface acting as a circulation guide for the architects.

Some axonometrics and thought process for 1+1=3s

Individual, unique entities can be arranged to work harmoniously to contribute to a whole + A bold composition that is absent of discernible sides can engage with the landscape and provide moments of viewing the architecture in different ways = Individual entities provide harmonious moments of viewing architecture.

A process of interlocking connects two different forms, yet the resulting spaces are unpredictable, and the experience can be chaotic + The interplay between curved and straight surfaces creates an unsettling experience of movement and chaos that tapers, accelerates, and decelerates = A process of interlocking connects movement and chaos.

Monument and Meeting place

I uploaded the model into my Cryengine environment but am now unable to locate it, however I will upload  a redone version of it below. I like the idea of void to highlight the magnitude of the monument that towers above it. Continuing from this model, I think I will exaggerate the monuments and place them higher on my environment than the meeting place so that they can be fully appreciated by the clients.
