Week 3 - Textures

This week we made sketches of textures that could be applied on to our sketch up models based on Super materials that can redesign and change how we use certain materials in the built environment.

These super materials are found in the website below

https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2015/02/6-supermaterials-that-could-change-our-world/

Based on these 6 materials, we came up with 36 words that described the super materials and drew a pattern for each of these words.

Bioinspired plastic

Thermoelectric Material

Perovskites

Aerogels

 Metamaterials

 Stanene

in light of my sketch up models, I added my client's art pieces that inspired my model from the beginning into the space for scale shown below.

Louise Bourgeois sculpture in her design 1 studio

 Louise Bourgeois sculpture in her design 2 studio

Issey Miyake's dress in her design 2 studio

I further developed the studio spaces by implementing 3 textures that I made from the 36 textures onto some faces of the studios floor, walls and other elements.

Applied texture on screen roof, metallic column and wooden layered stairs (textures chosen: spectrum, strong, layered)

Applied texture on accent walls of lobby, floor of lobby, walls of heating chamber (textures chosen: structured, hexagonal, warmth)

Applied texture on upper dome, 2nd floor area, column by staircase (textures chosen: spectrum, strong, layered)

Applied texture on accent walls studio, main floor of studio, walls of heating room at the end of studio (textures chosen: structured, hexagonal, warmth)

Week 2 - Stairs

Below are 4 different section cuts of stairs that I drew inspired by the designs of my sketch up models. These stairs were drawn with consideration to materiality and practicality for workspace.

These stairs were thought to be able to be placed into the studios of the clients. Stairs A and D are designed for the underground studio where as stairs B and C are for the above ground studio. I further developed the stairs on google sketch up with some slight adjustments.

Stair A became a shortened radius spiral staircase.

Stair D stayed as much as the original concept but was stacked on top of each other instead of buried partially into the wall with added railings.

Stair C added a covering wall to support the stairs and engulf the entire space.

Stair B became a little more uniform and simple without taking away much of the initial idea.

These stairs were then incorporated into the 4 model studio to see how they integrated well together.

From the drawings, I was able to develop them further into 3D models on Google sketch up. These are photos of my model of all four spaces (2 above ground, 2 below ground)
