Final Version of Laser Cutting



Unfortunately, the black area indents cannot go through as it would take too long. Instead I requested them to deleat those objects entirely. However, it seemed that they gave them redlines as well T_T. I've eventually stuck everything together. Hope it sticks.


Here's where the sections are and will be assembled like a book.

Buildings

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the source of my inspiration for the holes of the laser cutting.


BCN Day 1-014
In this more simplier use of plants for architecture is more similar to the idea of using nature and the immediate plants to recreate the environment.





Design with Nature?
This page presents us a book of various design works with nature. Although it is more art than architecture, the use of nature in its true form, leaving its current texture, shape and perception and using it to its advantage leaves its natural beauty.


In another way, you can create work to seem like nature other than capturing the beauty of nature.

Communal House in Colour & Augmented Reality








- 2 pt. perspective glitch XD

I want to use wood for my materials however, I want to have intricate cuts out of my sections to mimic the pores of timber. But I would need more time for this. The coming sections do not present these ideas.

By the way, how do I know if my model will be the right size on my poster?


Here's my "Augmented Reality" screen cap. I'm still sad that my webcam doesn't capture the background. I researched some forums and people think the program is glitchy with certain Graphic cards, mainly ATI - that's me T_T

Building for Spidey (Civilised)

This building is created from the trees that surround it. I tried to make the large block resemble the trees to enhance the intricate craftmanship the spideys would make for the interior. As they live in a rainforest, shelter is already provided with the canopy, hence public spaces are the only distinguishable areas to allow communal gatherings.
