Creating a website: About me page

-

 

My name is Antria Theodorou, I am from Cyprus and I currently live in Leicester. Many of the books that I read make me imagine all these fantasy historic buildings and inspire me to escape in different worlds, Victorian/historic buildings would always steal my gaze for hours, that's why I've chosen to study architecture. 

Growing up I used to express myself through art, I would draw, read, listen to music and hide in bookshops and libraries that looked fictional. I started being passionate about architecture by imagining all these fantasy works, finding them in real life made me want to create my own and see them come to life.

There are plenty of spectacular modern structures these days that I admire and I would like to explore more buildings that mix both modern functional requirements with a more classic structure. 

I am dreaming in the future of creating a house/apartment building that looks like a Victorian castle and combine that with smart modern technology. I am hoping to create a masterpiece that would be loved by people.

Week 5 further research

 In week 5 of planning, I'm doing some more research. Today I'm researching Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect who is known for his gravity-defying structures. His innovative and futuristic style has been setting standards for years, he thinks that "Terms like city, street, identity, and architecture are things of the past. The past is too small to live in". One of his famous works is the "De Rotterdam" building, this is a multifunctioning building, (a great work to look up to since my project revolves around multifunctional requirements as well), he describes his work as a "vertical city".                                                                                      The De Rotterdam  This building is located  at  Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam, he design...

 This is my process of creating my boards for my final art portfolio project, using Photoshop.  First I created a new document by clicking on 'New File', then 'print', 'A3', and chose the landscape mode. after my page was open I went on 'Unsplash' to find a related background.  Then I clicked on 'File' that's at the top left corner, 'open' and 'on your computer' and chose the image that I downloaded.  After that, I selected the image with the 'rectangular marquee' tool which is the first icon on the left toolbar and then clicked on 'edit', 'copy' and then went to my first page, clicked on 'edit' again and pasted it. Then from the right tool bar I lowered the opacity to 40% which is located at the 'layers' category.  Then I followed the same steps with uploading my concept image and arranged the size and placement by clicking on the 'move' tool and then clicking on 'show trans...

In the first shot is the picture of the elevator with the doors closed, the second one the doors are starting to open ,the third ,the doors are completely open still working normally .
