EXP 2 Final Submission: Two Monuments

Lumion Images (Screenshots as Fraps showed the toolbars of lumion)

As sets of repeated shapes creates patterns they can form to reflect nature's designs in their seemingly homogenous form.

In this long distance shot, you can see how the stacking of the monuments has allowed for a somewhat homogenous form to become prominent that looks similar to the other mountains yet contrasts the notion of natural vs man-made.

As you can see in this interior shot, the overlapping of the curvy surfaces and rectilinear shapes give the impression of the shape of bubbles that intersect introducing that notion of nature’s influence

In this shot, you can see the natures being reflected by the monuments, mountains by the top half and sea by the bottom, through their repeated shapes that connect to the meeting point that joins them together to become one.

(Update: Lumion scenes cant work correctly, this is a link for only the final monument scene. It is however different from the one seen above but have similar landscapes:

EXP 2: Week 3: Consideration of Landscape

Because of the shape of the monument, I have a number of considerations to keep in mind:

• Be somewhat surrounded by a cliff of small mountain range
• Be close to the sea
• Cliff cant block out lighting
• Have appropriate size for walking around

EXP 2: Elaboration of Final Design

•  Top Monument: Rectilinear representing Alisa Andrasek has a sort of repeated shape of vertical rectangles that lower in height to reflect nature's mountains with the geometric texture to further augment how it is a homogenous form. I've incoporated Otto's Curvilinear shapes of the monument into the interior of the open spaces a person can walk in.

• Bottom monument: Curvilinear representing Frei Otto has a sort of overlapping of curvy cubes that I took inspiration from bubbles. The textures help to give that sense of marine nature. The bottom halves of the stairs are curvilinear while the top are straight as well as the interior which has rectangular surfaces inside to show incorporation of the top monument's concept.

• Overall monument, one thing I wanted to address was how the size of the monument is not entirely large and would be around the size of a 4-storey building. This was so that there was appropriate spacing for the person to walk around in. I wanted this to be functional for the person to be able to walk throughout the monument through the stairs to also give them moments of seeing nature, which is what inspired me through the clients.

Nature has ready designs.

Electroliquid Aggregation New Concept

As sets of repeated shapes creates patterns they can form to reflect nature's designs in their seemingly homogenous form.

EXP 2: Week 2: Axometric Combinations

EXP 2: Week 1 : Evolution of Alisa Andrasek Monument and Using Artisan Tool

Because of the simplcity of the first design I have decided to make changes to make it more interesting

Using Artisan Tool

EXP 2: Week 1: Axometrics In Lumion

My decision to choose which concept to develop were of Concept 5 of Alisa Andrasek being "Network of patterns creates homogenous form" and Concept 3 of Frei Otto being "Nature has ready designs".
Lumion Fraps Shots

Alisa Andrasek: Network of patterns creates homogenous form

 Thought Process (1):  Seeing Andrasek's work, there was a sort of a form that the repeated shapes in the design combined gave that looked like it was one thing from a distance instead of intricate small shapes. I wanted to recreate this in a geometric "mountain". so my plan is to place this on a mountain range to give contrast of nature and man-made to really incorporate it into the environment.

Frei Otto : Nature has ready designs

Thought Process (2): Seeing Otto's work, there was a sort of playfulness that attracted me. Specifically his taking influence from the shape of the arrangement of bubbles. Using this I had a strategy of creating a curvilinear monument that takes influence from the overlapping of bubbles to create interesting shape.
