Project 2 Week 3 - Light Rail Stop Final Design After some final adjustment based on my tutor's feedback as well as putting in additional details and textures, I have completed my light rail stop design. I will first showcase some of the SketchUp capture and finally the Luminion renders. SketchUp Captures Here is an overview of the light rail station. There is an escalator that leads up to the platform as well as a cafe and a coffee shops to act as extra leisure space for UNSW students. Note that on the space above the platform contains a bar which provides a splendid view of the Uni Mall and the campus. On the other side of the road, there is a set of stairs and a lift that provide access to the main platform and the sky bar. There is also a walkway across the rails that allow access to both side. I have chosen to add my 3 custom textures to this monumental light rail sign as I think it is a very significant part of my design which utilised the irregular appearance simi

Project 2 Week 3 - 36 Hatching Patterns During the studio this week, I have developed about 20 hatching patterns and picked 6 of them to develop their patterns from light to dark. Trial Hatching Patterns : 36 Patterns from Light to Dark:

Project 2 Week 2 - Light Rail Stop Development The development process for the light rail stop has begun and I have experimented with some of the other features of Artisan on my chosen shape to create the general shape of the light rail stop. Then I put in some simple geometry, design features as well as the topography to give the building some context.

Project 2 Week 2 - SketchUp Model and Luminion After generating the 3 new shapes, I have chosen one of them and made a 3D SketchUp representation of the concept. I then used Artisan to create curvilinear structure using the above model in an attempt to match my sketche. After that I put the model into Luminion to create a render. However, due to the direction of the sun, some of the curved surface were not clearly shown. Another render from the opposite angle

Project 2 Week 2 - 6 Combined Sketches and Curved Drawings In this week's studio, I have combined two of my previous iso sketches with one concept from each of the architects together to form 3 new shapes. I have also experimented further with the hatching for these sketches with different patterns and density.  I then developed three more sketches based on the above three shapes with one of the concept being curvilinear.

Project 2 Week 1 - SketchUp & Luminion After developing the sketches, I have chosen one of the drawing and developed a SketchUp model for it. SketchUp Model   The concept for this drawing is "Escalation". The cantilevered platform and the supporting column symbolized how the installation of the light rail station would bring social revitalisation to the Kingsford area as well as mimicking the design principle of Studio Gang. Luminion Render This is another angle of the structure with the sun set at its back to demonstrate how light impacts the shading of different sides.

Project 2 Week 1 - 6 Sets of Isometric Drawings Based on the concepts generated in the last studio, I created 6 sets of isometric drawings each based on a particular concept on one of the chosen architect. Note that some of the sketches from a different angle are not just from the back but from the angles that were not shown from the first sketch, which means some of the pairs aim to showcase 4 different angles on the structure. I did this in order to train my brain to mentally visualize all angles of an object.
