Sketchup Tests

Trying to make the model more random and full of life. Not so computer generated.
A hole.
Twisted and scaled the different layers to get a feel for the tectonics.
Looking pretty cool.

A bit larger than 20x20x20 though...

Sketches

Sketches inspired by my symmetry model (bottom = first):

Project02: inhabiting form & space, Begins here.

Focus on Design (not photo-shop)

FINAL CONTEXTUALISED MODELS (With Giraffe)

Symmetry Texture editing

The symmetry model needed the texture I produced, but I really liked the wood "base" of the model. So I merged both ideas. A laser-cutter could achieve this effect.

Photoshopping tests

Proportion/Composition (Figure and cat illustration by 'tknk from deviantart.com. Room online somewhere, I'll reference later)


Contrast (You may need to Zoom in)


Hierarchy (Figures are models from some Hussein Chalayan collection)


Rythm/Repetition (Figure and Photo online somewhere, I'll reference later)

Adding textures

A pool complex utilising the previous Symmetry model as a light (above) and treasure (below)


Memorial or public space sculpture type monument showing the figure/ground principle.

Datum Redraw

This model could have been huge or tiny. I chose small enough so the block crosses can be manipulated by curious/fidgety smoker hands.
An interactive ashtray?
Spin the blocks to "magic" the ash away?
Does that shift the focal point too much?
Or simply multiple datum (datus? datumi?)

Symmetry model test

My first play around in Sketchup for this project. Based on my symmetry sketch (It's just an extrusion of that.)
