Week 7-8 Black Box

Lecture Image -


This image demonstrates the effect of using a central impluvium to create a unique style of light and shade. I think that the organic nature of this light and the way it disperses over the walls is really attractive. The added use of the columns in the image above only serve to add to this effect and make it more striking. I think taking this idea and applying it my own design will have the same effect. The light in the final environment will be more striking, more organic and more attractive. Although it will involve making alterations to my original design i think that overall it will benefit it in many ways. The idea of using columns in a similar way as above is also something which could be explored to improve my own design. The use of light and shadows in such a way i think is a step in the right direction to creating a good environment.

Week 7-8 Quotes

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Darwin


"I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet. But I'm an optimist." - Hawking


"We will reach out to those who know little, not those who know much. the stars so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. I don't think the next thousand years begets confidence, or that life will survive on a single planet. But I'm an optimist." - Both

FINAL


In the curved surface above i have use my "Slick" texture to try and convey a smooth feeling to the shape.

For both display features i have use my texture described as "Opaque", trying to express the slightly granulated nature of opaque glass. I feel that having the main gallery underneath the two featured balls would create an incredibly dramatic scene for exhibition of the artist's works.

To note in the X-Ray view is the bottom work space. The two different sections are linked through the bridge giving the studio two distinctly separated rooms within the same space.


DRAFTS

This was my original sketchup model based on the same original section but i felt as strayed further away from the idea in the section it lost the feeling and idea that i liked about it to begin with. From this point i started from scratch to try and recapture the original idea.
