Galaxy Soho is an office and commercial building designed by architects Zaha Hadid and Patrick Schumacher. It was built in 2009-12 and it is located in Beijing, China. This building is made out of 4 "dome" structure parts and they are connected by ongoing bridges and curved platforms that create a "central canyon", designed like this to create a sense of "immersion and envelopment" with flowing dynamic movement structures. It is 67 meters and 332857 m² and covers 46,965 m² of land, each block is 15 floors, 12 being office floors and 3 retail floors with cafes, restaurants, and entertainment. It was inspired by Chinese architecture, specifically "Classical Chinese courtyards". "Fiberglass-reinforced plastic", "glass-reinforced concrete" and "shipbuilding steel plates" materials were used to create a clean curve-looking exterior with an organic form structure. Aluminum and stone were also used for the exterior ...
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...
This is my process of creating the first 3D piece. First, I created the outlines of my design digitally using AutoCAD and created a DFX document. Then I visited the laser cutting workshop, where I laser cut the pieces. I chose pulpboard for the material, 1mm for the curving parts because it bends easily, and then 3mm for the rest of the pieces. After all the pieces were cut I brought everything back to the studio. I noticed some pieces were ruined during the cutting because of a cutting malfunction so for that reason I took the rest of the material that remained and tried to replace the ruined pieces by cutting it as carefully and precisely as possible with a craft knife. I also sandpapered the edges to be more smooth. After all the extra pieces were cut, I tested out different techniques in which I would try to recreate the exterior. In this picture, I tried to colour the triangles with markers which left a messy result but helped me decide on the colours shades...
