Final Design - Tribrid building

-

 Today I will be blogging my process of creating the final design of the building Tribrid using SketchUp for my major project. This time I used the SketchUp app on the PC instead of the website which is arranged differently. The idea of this concept is a three-tower futuristic building connected by an ongoing bridge between them, each tower is 50 floors and will be a residents/work offices/ entertainment space.





I started by picking the pencil tool on the toolbar which can be found on the top of the screen and drew the base ground, then another base, and then the outlines of the buildings.




Then I heightened everything by using the pull/push tool which can also be found on the top toolbar, I clicked on the surfaces and dragged upwards.



Then I added the windows by using the pencil tool 



In the following picture, I added materials to the buildings and both of the bases, I did that by going to the left side toolbar chose "materials", then chose the glass one for the towers, and "landscape grass" for the base. For the second base, i chose a gray concrete material 


Here I added the bridge the same way as the previous model by using the pencil tool, I also fixed the second base so it is bigger. I added a pathway with the pencil tool and chose a flooring material "rock\grass",  as well from the "landscape" section on the "materials" 






          Next, when I was happy with the result I started adding details like trees , bushes,stairs etc. Here are some shots of that.




This is the final result of the Tribrid building design. I still find a lot of things that could be better but overall I think this is an improved version of my idea through all the test design I created previously.

Week 3 Further Research - Wassily Kandinsky

-
Image
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist and he is considered one of western art's forefathers of abstraction. He took painting studies in his 30s after completing his studies for law and economics. He was fascinated by colours, colour symbolism, and psychology from a young age and he traveled to the "Vologda region north of Moscow" as a part of an "ethnographic" research group, where the artworks and buildings he found there with shimmering and bright colours on dark backgrounds made him feel like he was moving in a painting, which inspired him in his early work.  His abstract work developed over time through his intense thinking on his artistic experiences, "inner beauty", "fervor of spirit" and "spiritual desire inner necessity" were central aspects of his art.  His interest in abstraction started when one day he went home to find one of his paintings hanging upside down which he stared at for some time. He was al...

Creating my boards process / results - Project Development

 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...

Week 5 further research

-
Image
 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...
