EXP 3 - The Image Captures and Architecture

THE BRIDGE

The concept of this bridge was inspired by the wispy and feminine figure of Mirander Kerr. The two support columns that uphold the bridge with the suspensions are inspired by the upright, challenging and powerful Angela Merkel. The idea is to unify a sleek design that silently upholds with a strong power.

View of Miranda Kerr's Office overlooking the waterfall. The curved planes that are rotated to form the roof of the office space is inspired by the feminine curves of her body. The curvy texture chosen further reflects on Kerr's character.

Interior View of Miranda Kerr's Office

View of Angela Merkel's Office. The facade of Merkel's office with it daunting angular edges is a personal reflection of her personality that I had discovered when reading about her. The pattern is also chosen as such.

EXP 3 - The Elevators and Dining Table

Aerial view of Dining Meeting Area in the fog at dusk. The shape of the platform was inspired by the movement of collision and unison. The dining meeting area was strategically placed under the bridge to further hold the support columns of the bridge together. As this was an important space too, I wanted to make it look like a diamond floating above water.

EXP 3 - Mash Up of 3 News Articles

Diminutive in the imposing vastness of her office She replaced Gisele Bundchen as a Victoria's Secret angel in 2007. I can understand her rage. But as a result, I lost my sight. I was sent to a state school for the blind, but I flunked first grade because Braille just didn't make any sense to me. Words were a weird concept. . Now 55, Merkel, Germany's first Chancellor raised in the communist East, is the head of a democratic form of government and the guardian of individual freedoms that she was denied until her 30s. She outsmarted phalanxes of gray-haired, gray-suited machine politicians to set two other precedents, becoming the first woman to occupy the Chancellery as well as its youngest incumbent. ``My heart is definitely in the country and with nature,'' says Kerr, based in the US.

``Some of my favourite memories are with my cousin Rebecca and brother Matthew climbing the willow tree in my grandma's backyard. The fever went just as suddenly. But away from the paparazzi, Miranda remains a NSW country girl who's `all time favourite thing to do is cooking' for family and friends - organic of course - and climbing trees. Now, as the emboldened leader of Europe's most populous nation and most powerful economy, She replaced Gisele Bundchen as a Victoria's Secret angel in 2007, became the new face of retail giant David Jones a year later and now, at 26, is a household name worldwide. Being in that school was like being in an orphanage. But words — and in my case, music — changed that isolation. proved she could communicate in the world of sight and sound — and was able to speak to it and live in it. But what, exactly, does she want to do with her power? And how will she go about doing it?

Experiment 2 - The Space Between

Attached are the image captures of the labs and facade overview developed for Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking. The long planar solid linking the two compositions acts as the meeting point between the two labs. The labs are designed to have optimum scenery view while giving the two clients sufficient privacy.

QUOTES

"The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary."
Stephen Hawking "A Brief History in Time", Ch. 8

"There is one living spirit, prevalent over this world ... which assumes a multitude of forms according to subordinate laws."

Final Model Proposal

Below are the final images of the chosen model:

Dynamic | Placid

Above ground form is inspired by the word : DYNAMIC

Material choice was based on the word, and were meant to contrast each other greatly.

Underground form is inspired by the word : PLACID

Gentle linear lines are used to give the feeling of serenity.

Attached are the 3 animation clips of the sectional cuts from 3 different angles that features a better idea of the interior space.

Inspired from the word "Dynamic" and the works of Richard Goodwin, the created form was the expression of my feelings when I observed his works. The facade is basically pieced together like a mismatched puzzle, in relation to this particular art from him which transpired the given word. The bigger voids of the pieces form the galleries while the two forms on each side are the enclosed studios for the artists. A mix of opposing materials was purposefully chosen so as to convey a vigorous finish.

The underground space concept was developed from the word "Placid", a feeling I got from a particular piece of work by Ricky Swallow. His works mostly transcend a mixed emotion of a tranquil thought and morbidity, with most of his works in relation to living organisms. Linear platforms hovering over a water based setting are purposefully tilted and skewed at different angles to give a form of encasement of space while at the same time not having an obstructed view of the ripples below. The unconcealed spaces were designed to be airy underground studios for the 2 artists. Linear material textures were used to complete the atmosphere of the place, emphasizing on the lengths of the platforms.

Erfurt, Germany

Holiday in 2008

"Only The Good Die Young"

This was taken during a holiday. The cobblestone footpath leading to two cathedrals on a hill was carved with names of people who died of AIDS. Great legends are not forgotten and will continue to brave the generations to come. Cobblestone pathways transcends time and braves the harshest of conditions. It is only fitting that only great legends may have the honour to forever be engraved in time.

B: AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

http://www.daniel-libeskind.com/projects/show-all/jewish-museum-berlin/

Daniel Libeskind
The Jewish Museum Berlin

"Between The Lines"

Completed in 1999, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany serves as an exhibit showcasing the social, political and cultural history of the Jews in Germany from the 4th century to the present. It is designed by American architect Daniel Libeskind of Polish-Jewish decent. His works have often been described as deconstructivist and the Jewish Museum Berlin was Libeskind's first major international success, being one of the first buildings designed after reunification. It is a project about two lines of thinking, organization and relationship. One is a straight line, but broken into many fragments; the other is a tortuous line, but continuing indefinitely.

A: YOUR BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK BEFORE COMING TO UNIVERSITY

Conceptualization

Year One Major Project in Diploma

The brief was to develop a gallery space inspired by a chosen artifact, which in my project was the piano. This concept board is the collation of ideas from conceptualizing, forming the base to develop the form and shape of the facade in later stages. It was put together using pieces foam board in different layers to create textures and contrast on the composition. Fresh out of high school, art was a new way of expression for me. The movement of the keyboards were inspired by a quirky piece from Chopin; A Minute Waltz, which I am thoroughly sick of now because of the countless times I had to listen to it before I experienced an epiphany.
