THE ARCHITECTURE

My selected Hero Shot:

My selected Detailed Shot:

The model design presents as an elaborate combination of curved parts that interact to create a large, functional spaces. The detailed shot presents half of the building as sectioned, revealing the underground area for Auto-Fabrica. The detailed shot on the other hand depicts entrance foyer of the building, which is situated below the two top levels. This shot depicts a display for the Auto=Fabrica motorbikes and introduces an industrial style that mixes hard materials with soft shapes.

Note: Lumion was not used because I found it difficult to alter the flooring to carve in some of the underground spaces. This was just one of the attempts.

SKETCH-UP MODEL

The sketch up model implements a combination of Section 1 and 4, as well as Section 5. The use of a circular set of stairs in a large open space, represents a spacial artwork that provides an opportunity for individuals to be transferred on a metaphorical journey. This idea of a journey is even more prevalent in the second representation of the stair, where an individual is given an opportunity to choose their own path and thus experience their own unique journey.

Client Sections

CLIENT SECTIONS: SKETCHES

My two clients are Bernabei Freedom and Auto-Fabrica. Each design was influenced from the design and styles of their corresponding clients.

Top: Motif (Bernabei Freeman)

Bottom: Perpetual (Auto Fabrica)

Isometric View (Below)

The sketchup model is a combination of two sections. I used the top of Section 6 and the bottom of Section 2 as I believed that these two concepts were a more appropriate match. I have also changes the bottom of Section 2, so that the floor is suspended, adding a perpetual(timeless) aurora around the design.
