Reflection of Lecture7

This lecture focuses on different types of shadows and their applications in five projects. These pictures come from project 5 -- The Shadow as Repetition. This blue one really draws my attention. The use of shadow, staris and space made from different blocks intersecting each other not in order. In my opinion, this kind of space looks more flexible and the use of shadow makes it much truer. Actually, my ideas of designing one of the lab was two big box intersecting then making unorderly holes-digging (space).

UT meeting point

These are the inner space of meeting point.

This is the interconnection parallel projection I used for the model.

This meeting point was divided into three floors. Each one are connected with a linear stairs.

If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change, we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.--Jacques-Yves Cousteau
"Most of the retailers in our center are reasonably optimistic. Nobody's seeing the headlines of Aemageddon that were appearing several months ago."--Keith Campbell

My quote:
Most of the retailers in our center will disappear from the face of the globe if they are reasonably optimistic and not willing to change their greed.

Ideas of three clients

Alfred Nobel

According to the Austrian countess Bertha von Suttner, Alfred Nobel, as early as their first meeting in Paris in 1876, had expressed his wish to produce material or a machine which would have such a devastating effect that war from then on, would be impossible. The point about deterrence later appeared among Nobel's ideas. In 1891, he commented on his dynamite factories by saying to the countess: "Perhaps my factories will put an end to war sooner than your congresses: on the day that two army corps can mutually annihilate each other in a second, all civilised nations will surely recoil with horror and disband their troops." Nobel did not live long enough to experience the First World War and to see how wrong his conception was.

One could of course say that Nobel's view on the war deterring effect of weapons and explosives -- what would be later called the balance of terror -- was a comfortable way for him to defend his own activity. His understanding of conflict was not a structural one, but rather what one would characterise in modern terminology as actor-oriented, i.e. wars did not arise through structurally determined processes or contradiction of interests, but as a result of human acting, through different kinds of "accidents." War between nations was thus, to Nobel as a rule, nothing else than "enforced collective mise-en scène of individual battles for power."

Textures

For the final submission of the model, I changed one of the textures I used. The three textures--grid, transparent and soft are listed below:

Final Submission

This is the link for my model on 3D Warehouse:

The middle two sections are the original picture I used to make the model. The second one, which is used to design the below space: concrete and timber; the third one, up ground space: glass.



These below are the images of the model:

This is the space under ground, with one one of the artist's work on the wall.


This is the second floor with the rotating stairs.

This is the roof with colored hang lights.
This studio is designed for the artist of music and painting. I really like the space surrounded by the glass. With the glass, and I want the studio to be established in the forest, the artists could be touch, see,hear and the feel the nature more. This kind of feeling, I think, is you are in the nature, not in a house. And within this environment, the artists may has more inspiration coming from nature. (Utzon's idea also came from nature!)
