Zeel Mistry: WEEK 03

WEEK 03

Materials

The super materials article was read and from that a range of words were selected to represent the aesthetics, functions, capabilities, textures and so on of those materials. The following 36 words were selected.

After selecting these words, they were appropriately grouped into 3 sections for the upper, middle and lower buildings. The following depicts these groups.

From the 36 words, the general sketches were created in a 6x6 grid. These materials were drawn to be placed into the sketchup model as materials. As they were supposed to be in the model the textures were muted and not too expressive as it may look unaesthetic in the model.

The following images are the rendered and edited versions of the final selected materials from the 36 drawn.


INSULATE - Bottom Level

CRYSTALLINE - Middle Level

DISTORT - Top Level

The insulate texture depicts a dark border that is protecting its contents which is a gradient. This highlights how real life insulation works, this was chosen for the lower levels as the ground acts like an insulator around the building. This image also turned out to resemble cement plates.

The crystalline texture is a range of non-uniform lines that join together giving a crystal like image. This material was used in the middle level as a feature wall. The transparency worked well to create a glazed glass finish.

The distort texture resembles straight lines that have been distorted in the centre, these lines have broken and moved out of line. This texture however doubly depicted wood hence the brown background was added. This was incorporated onto the upper levels which include the modern cement white and brown interior design.

The following images show the textures in place;

Items

The following images depict the items of each respective client (Bernebei Freeman and Off-White) in the sketchup model. These have been placed in the workshop and the gallery spaces.
