PROJECT 2: 5 IMAGES (MONUMENT)


The three custom textures I chose all reflect a level of simplicity while maintaining a sense of modernity. This directly reflects the notion of " modernity and natural living"  
3 Custom textures:


Monument Photos (1-5) 

  





This shot encapsulates the vast openness through out and in between the monuments highlighting the concept of open planned living and combining it with an out door setting. The space created is public and yet it holds vast opportunities for private space.




This shot is idyllic as it illustrated elevation in the public space, highlighting the different levels of living, incorporating another element into the space as elevation plays a key role in creating private and individualized space with out the use of conventional walls and or ceilings.



I included a "night time" frame of the public space that includes lights. the play of lights on the objects emphasizes the textures through out the space, including both natural and man made elements. This union is significant to the concept of "natural living" it highlights the lack of barriers between both the monuments as well as the public and the created space.

ARCH1101 WEEK 3 TASK: Part (A) 36 textures



36 x Custom textures

These textures consist of a combination of both organic and abstract elements enabling its application to surfaces with a wide range of purposes and contextual meanings.

"Electroliquid Aggregation"

After much consideration and reconsideration i decided to change the conceptual outlay of my monuments to better display the union of the two concepts inspired by the works of Mies Van Der Rohe and Nathalie de Vries


ARCH1101 WEEK 2 TASK: lumion shots



(A) a space that promotes social and cultural interaction

(B) a space that encapsulates modernity and the idea of "natural living"
Incorporate elements such as water, rocks and natural elevation to highlight the reflective nature of both sites


* I chose figure (A) ans (B) as their design is heavily influenced by the concept of contextual respect and acknowledgement and spacial awareness and efficient

ARCH1101 - WEEK 1 TASK: 18 X SKETCHES


Architects:
1. Mies Van De Rohe 
2. Nathalie De Vries (MVRDV)
