Parking lot design / process - Project development

-

This is my process of creating the parking lot of my building for my project on SketchUp. 




                                      First, I open a new document by clicking on "create new".


Then I started by drawing a base with the pencil tool on the left toolbar. 


I added walls to create the space with the pencil tool again and then drew on an entrance where the opening from upstairs will lead to the parking lot.



I then clicked on the entrance and erased the wall by clicking on it and then on "erase".


Afterward, I tried to create the inclined road with the pencil tool.



Then I started adding separators/cats eyes for each parking space on a line I drew on. I found the separators on the "3D Warehouse" from the right toolbar and search on the search bar "parking lot".



Then I drew lines in between the parking spaces and did the same thing on the other side as well. Then I drew another line of parking spaces in between and living the rest space for the road. 






When I was done with creating it, I started adding materials from the materials section on the right toolbar, I picked different asphalt and concrete materials from the "asphalt and concrete" category. 


This is the result of my underground parking lot.

Week 3 Further Research - Wassily Kandinsky

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...

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...
