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.

Here's an extract from a skate video which I feel sums up the culture of Off-White.

The brand is rooted in Skate Culture and its rebellion against authority. In this video, a skateboarder is attempting a daring stunt and a security guard attempts to stop the group from proceeding. As you can see, neither the skater nor the cameraman care to follow the rules in this situation.

This video, and the values it portrays, exemplify the brand values of Off-White and my word for this project, "Subversive"

Stair Models - Week 2

My stairs going up from the basement to the ground floor pass through the outside area to continue the theme of "Open" with Auto Fabric. The staircase allows anyone to see into the workshop while a glass lift (not yet modelled) reveals the work to visitors. For Off White, the staircase breaks the simple form of the building, collapsing the corner of the building on which it sits. It comes to represent Off-White's subversive nature, going against the norms of their surroundings

Off White - "Subversive"

Auto Fabrica - "Open"
