Final Renders, Animation and File Uploads

Final Renders


As seen in this render, my final design indeed builds higher than any of the other buildings around it.


I wanted to make an unique design to improve the profile of lower campus.


The design incorporates plenty of flexible spaces for students to use, both formally and informally.


A green space was added to insulate the bridge from the rough concrete and asphalt of the roadway below.


The design creates a link between Tyree, NIDA and the Blockhouse, allowing students to move freely between the buildings without ever touching the ground.

Week 5 Lumion Screenshots





For my hero shot, I wanted to capture the imposing nature of the structure as a whole but also how open and exposed much of the workshops and gallery is. As can be seen in the first render, visitors can see straight through the building. This was intended to provide a natural backdrop to the display pieces that rise and lower from their respective workshops.

In my detail shot, I wanted to highlight the central elevator, as well as one of the key aspects of the design, the unique staircase down from the first floor. Both act as centerpieces for the gallery space and structure respectively.
