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.

C: AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL


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


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.
