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

ARCH1101 Introduction

These are some designs I made for The Brooke Gallery in my mother's home town of Kuching, Malaysia. The Gallery displays the rich history of the state of Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. The fort on which the line drawing based also houses the exhibition. The fonts used were chosen by the Trust that runs the Gallery. Three ticket types (Local ticket pictured) were created, each colour coded with the colours of Sarawak. I created these designs in 2016.

This is a photo of Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House in Illinois. This is one of my favourite pieces of Architecture thanks to its intrinsic link to the area around it. I love how the green trees surrounding the house act as its privacy, allowing the use of glass on the 'exterior' walls of the structure. Almost as if the trees are the external walls of the house. This photo was taken by my cousin when she visited the site a few years ago.

This is a picture I took myself in San Francisco, while hanging out the side of a trolley car. It is a personal favourite of mine, displaying the long hills of the San Francisco downtown. I also love the symmetry created by the tram line in the and the people going about their day in the foreground. Taken on a Canon 1100D, ISO 400, 1/320, f/11.
