Project 3 Week 3 - First Draft This week I started developing my first draft for the school using the sections I created. However, I have yet to want to do yet. Hence, I just played around with the section in SketchUp for a bit. This draft uses the whole section I selected to attempt to create a building. However, as i started to put int a 'skin', an exterior for the building, it all started to go wrong and the end result of the design looks like a chicken head in SketchUp.

Project 3 Week 3 - The Plan I have chosen Zaha Hadid's Vitra fire station plan started developing different sections for the school. The first section I developed is a simple outline of some of the major part of the building. The second section is also done by tracing the outline of the building. However, this time I used some colour to indicate how spaces are allocated. For the third section, I started playing around with different small parts of the section by multiplying them and transforming them. The last section I developed is of a different approach comparing to the others. I created it by tracing out the shadow of the building from the site plan and ended up with a vary interesting shape. I ended up settling with this section and began developing my first SketchUp draft which will be discussed in the next post.

Project 3 Week 2 - Moving Element This week I have attempted to create an adjustable facade as a moving element in the architectural school. The shape and form might not be the same as the final product but this is just a simple demonstration of the idea. The facade will provide shading for area such as the lecture theater when needed while still allowing access to natural lighting.

Project 3 Week 2 - Two-Points Perspective I have selected two of the one-point perspective created from last week and drew them again in two-point perspectives. Note that all four two-point perspectives are drawn using the same two vanishing point, making them 'exists' in the same plane.

Project 3 Week 1 - Architecture Theory "The exploration of discarded ideas in architecture as a reflection on current designs and act as an inspiration for better designs in the future." This is the theory that I generated during the first week after seeing an article form ArchDaily: Alternative Realities: 7 Radical Buildings That Could-Have-Been https://www.archdaily.com/773828/alternative-realities-7-of-the-most-radical-could-have-been-buildings/?ad_source=myarchdaily&ad_medium=bookmark-show&ad_content=current-user _________________________________________________________________________________ Later on in the project development, I came across another article about Daniel Libeskind by ArchDaily which focused on his style and work. https://www.archdaily.com/505040/happy-birthday-daniel-libeskind From the reading, I noticed a few key words: Angular, Intersecting, Diagonally-sliced  From that, I generated another theory that would better su

Project 3 Week 1 - 6 Sets of One-Point Perspective This week I have created 6 different shapes each formed by 5-6 rectangular cubes. They aim to simulate the circulation of the architectural school.
