 Smart Objective 


This is about my project with the theme 'expressionism' with my progression route in architecture. The concept is a two-tower building connected by a futuristic exterior ceiling design. It will be a workspace and a commercial building, the tallest tower being the offices and the smaller one will be restaurants, cafeterias, and shops. It will have glass ceilings and full-size glass walls which will provide a full view of the exterior design and natural lighting. The space between the towers will be an outdoor sitting space for people to eat, talk, etc. As long as materials and sustainability go, there will be perimeter walls with thermal bricks and 2 layers of 8-millimeter extra thick double-glazing glass for the glass walls, both to provide extra thermal insulation and also save energy. The interior will be futuristic as well with smart high technology. I will develop the image for this idea by using sketch-up and photoshop for my boards. Here are some inspirational works that are similar to what I am planning to create:





"My dream, Our vision"



I got inspiration from these three designs as to what the towers will look like, glass and glass mirrors will cover most of the exterior.



"Faraday Future Campus" design by MAD Architects 

Then for the next design, I noticed the exterior design with the bridge connecting to the other building which is similar to what I am trying to create. This helps with how I can develop the exterior design of my building to be sustainable. In this case to include two pillars to help keep the structure up. The space that is created between the two towers will be an outdoor space.

    Two things - firstly, it looks as if you have cut and pasted part of the text in your SMART objective - edit this please, some of this text doesn't read like your own.

    Secondly, the images you have included look as if they have been randomly chosen. There should be titles/designer underneath them.

    We discussed your idea in the class - have you changed your idea based on that discussion? We talked about a spiral, with different sized towers connected by the 'expressionist' design. Is this what you are planning to do? If so, edit your SMART so this is clearer, please.

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

 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 designed it in 1998 and it started at the end of 2009 and was finalized at the end of 2013. The stacked buildings of the De Rotterdam are organized in a subtly uneven cluster that resists unifying into
