Final Overall Landform Mini Portfolio


I decided to combine everything to show a clearer picture as well as explain certain point on how I decided to structure my form. I decided to redo some of my axonometrics as I felt that they expressed the concepts more so there are several trail and errors when it came to constructing the landforms.

Experimental Landform

As suggested by Hank, instead of using sketchup I decided to work with 3Ds Max as there are more flexibility when it comes to modeling different shapes and forms. So I did this as an experimentation as well as an extension of my combined forms. I felt that it expressed more of the concepts that I was aiming for when constructing my forms.






5 Scenes

In this scene it shows a front view and displays the electoliquid aggregation between the "porous" inspired rectilinear shape as well as the wrapping curvilinear concept that Andrasek shows in her work bloom. 
 I like that I integrated the two forms together to make it look like one structure and the notion that the wrapping provides an interesting new perspective to the forms.
 The textures I applies on the rectilinear shape are concepts influenced by andrasek while the curvilinear shapes consists of textures with Otto's work in mind. I applied it in this way to produce an interesting contrast as well as further enhancing the electroliquid aggregation that we're trying to achieve between our two chosen architects.

Final Landform and Scenes DL link

The Final Model 2 is my actual submission while the Final Landform is something I experimented with that I thought conveyed the concepts better from Frei Otto as well as Alisa Andrasek since both artists concepts and works gathered to be more curvilinear.

Landform Interests

Found an Article relating to forms and sparked my interests.  It shows simplicity in the overall view but brings a variety of different forms.

36 Textures - Light to Dark


When I was drawing up the textures I constantly tried to also connect the texture images to the main concepts I gathered from the two architects we are working from. The net and lattice patterns and the sort of repetitious component.
