Experiment 2
Final Submission


Interdependence
The end is never the resulting effort of a single person or a single group. It is the collaboration of many people and many groups.


At first, my model was massive as I thought that it was supposed to be a building, but my tutor sugessted that I scale it down by a lot. The brief also does not suggest that the monument itself is a building. In accodrance with my previous idea of equality between the lanscape and architecture, I chose to to scale down my model so that it would not seem more significant than the lanscape. However the rigidity and artificiality separates the two clearly. The 'space for the students' exists both on the architecture, and the surrounding terrain.


The transparent box on the left represents one group of people, in my case, the architects who form the conceptual ideas. A bridge from the block, passes through the void of the central block, representing engineers. Architectural ideas must pass by the engineers. The monument bridges a ditch and the surrounding flat terrain loops around, representing how Visualisation Artists interact with both parties.

I used textures to symbolise concepts for different parts of the architecture.

3 chosen textures

At first, ideas are light and conceptual...

... We consider different perspectives...

... As the ideas develop, they gain more detail and substance...

... Until we reach what we think is the goal and wonder where to stop tweaking...

CryEngine 3 level
The original Folder in Levels had 6 versions, but because it was too big to download, I deleted an internal folder and its contents, but the levels should still open.

  1. Axonometric drawings
    *Very clean sketches with good oriented presentation
    *nice careful hatching
    The thing I would like to suggest is to make it a bit more complex because some of them just few rectangle simply joint together. I know it is hard because of the limitation of only 5 boxes.

    Electroliquid Aggregation
    *very careful consideration about the clients and the architect concepts
    I think it would be better if you used difference styles of hatch technique in the drawing will be better. Because after you combined them I cannot really very part is from which concept. And how do they combine to from the new concept.
    The concept is very strong but I can’t really see it in term of the combined sketch.

    Texture
    *very nice and clean texture
    *well play with the presentation
    I don’t know if we supposed to give some kind of thought or meaning in to the texture.
    In term of light and shadow, some of the texture just a bit too “empty” (bottom right corner). It would be nice to see there are a bit darker.

    Cry engine model
    *you have created a very nice environment with very nice land scape with vary material.
    *much clearer to see your concept in actual model than the sketch.
    *good timing with nice atmosphere
    I don’t know it the model is too small or the tree is too big, the scale seems a bit small to me.
    Most of the images are caught in a very good angel to show the environment and monument. However, I can’t really see the dark texture in your monument.
    It would be better if you can kind of use your nice atmosphere to work with your concept.
    The model can be a bit more detailing.
