EXPERIMENT 2 - INDIVIDUAL TASK

Week 2

Develop your light rail stop on Lumion

Experimenting with ideas on texture, atmosphere and theme (sustainability).

Sketches used:

Boolean combined and curved:

EXPERIMENT 2 - TASK 2

Week 2
Draw combination of curvilinear and rectilinear solids.

The solids were drawn by hand then edited using Adobe Photoshop. The rectilinear solids were usually the one being used as the "site" while the curvilinear solids were parts of the light rail stop.

EXPERIMENT 2 - INDIVIDUAL TASK

Lumion environment - two scenes of one pair of axonometric drawings from class

In this exercise, I was able to experiment with the different landscape settings on Lumion and place necessary objects.

EXPERIMENT 2 - TASK 1

Week 1
Draw 12 axonometrics of six solids, each representing one concept from Adolf Loos or Jenny Wu

Adolf Loos:

Adolf Loos was an architect who denied ornaments on buildings and focused on structure of the building and its function. His architecture consisted of smooth, unadorned facades and use of geometry with linear characteristics.

Jenny Wu:

Jenny Wu is an architect who uses 3D printing and modelling to design her architecture. Major focus is towards layering, organic/natural curves and complex geometry.

Animation - Final Submission

I have used Lumion to render my final SketchUp model to show the smoother and realistic textures, landscape and people.




In this video, I have used SketchUp to show the interior and the section from the front view which had not been included in the blog previously.

Inspiration for Animation

This video was very helpful in helping me understand what rendered architectural animation should be. The video encapsulates the idea of light against various textures, the importance of sections and circulation, and aesthetics. The curves have a different way of forming shadows in comparison to beams, the windows don't have to be exactly transparent, etc were just some of the things I've gained from watching the animation clip.
