Application of my textures on my model

Textures slected to be developed and applied in SketchUp

new model

In the past week I went through radical changes with my work firstly I decided I didn’t like either of the model therefore I changed it. The first step I did was select the parts I liked and then integrate them together in a whole new model. Therefore currently I am working with Fiona Hall and Rosalie Gascoigne, here images of my work currently.I spent the entire week developing and working on this model.

ARCH1101-EXP1-The influences within Rosaline Gascoigne studio:( the section, the studio and the materials)

The material being considered for the buildings

Currently the material that I am considering for either of the two building range’s from: insulated wall panel’s., roof tiles, glass curtain wall, roof singles, metal, aggregate, natural stone and brick.

Rosalie Gascoigne’s Art Practice

Rosalie Gascoigne’s Metropolis (1999) is one of her signature artworks. Similar to most of her other work, Gascoigne has compromised her work to include an array of ready-mades and re-cycled materials, in this particular one she has used: retro reflective road signs on wood. Like most contemporary artists Gascoigne does not conform to any official methodology or process. However it is apparent that she has a very selective technique assemblage system. From her work we can also conclude that she circulates her work with a grid like method and relies on right angles. Prior to creating her work she goes out into her surrounding environment and rummages out objects as potential art material. Inevitably one can conclude that Gascoigne art making is unique, personal and intimate.

Fiona Hall’s Art Practice

By captivating issues close to her heart Fiona Hall’s, Cell Culture (2002) resembles her personal view point of social history, economics, botany and the environment. She executes these ideas by using glass, metal, P.V.C, Tupperware and beads in vitrine. Halls materials are often selected based on symbolism, in this particular work beads are elected to display cultural exchange on a molecular level. She applies her selective materials by following this particular process. Her first step is to explore her ideas to assemble a unique juxapositioning form with immense conceptual strength Then she wire threads her beads and graft her Tupperware. Then she connects the various Tupperware forms to the glass beads. She uses this particular process to portray that it inevitable to have nature that isn’t impact by humanity. Her final step of Cell Culture also enforces this fact as she houses her work in a glass vitrine.

Repeat of last week's sketch up model

After talking about my work with my tutor last week I felt that I should redo my work, I re did a completely new model on Sketch Up by using a new section. The images below are inspired by the words geometrical and organically shaped.

Change of word for Rosalie Gascoigne

I made a gramatical error in one of the artists work ,for Rosalie Gascoigne the verb for her work is meant to be constrain.

Arch 1101 for Session 1, Week 1

STEP 2:

A: YOUR BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK AT HIGH SCHOOL,

This is a still from a film that I produced for my HSC body of work titled “Progress - The Garden of Eden.” The motion picture compromised of Sydney’s major built landmarks ‘under attack’. The still above portrays Sydney's Centre point Tower getting burnt, thus displaying that pollution will distort Sydney. Another tourist attraction within the film was the Sydney Opera House made in ice, in process of the film it was melting, consequently commenting on global warming. The core purpose of this image was to depict a planet where the environment has been degraded and violated by human activity in order to achieve state of despair within the audience.

B: AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

Figure 1: Kenzo Tagne, Olympic Sport Complex in Tokyo

Reference: Moffett, A; Fazio, M and Wodehouse, L , in Kenzo Tange, (2nd edition) A World History of Architecture, Laurence King, London, pp538

Personally I have always regarded Kenzo Tange as one the best architects in the world; the image of the Olympic Sport Complex (above) in particular demonstrates his greatness. The building defines his innovative and admirable style of conforming to societies expectations of modern architecture while retaining a strong sense of ethnic and cultural strength within a singular work. The work also encapsulates his persistent level of excellence and originality.

C: AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

This shot visibly highlights the immense magnificence of the outback. Despite being enveloped in a drought, the shot exemplifies the regular gorgeous scenery of the countryside. It truly miraculous how a simple photo of the sunset like this can evoke subjective characteristics like: admiration, enchantment and even secrecy.
