With my textures, I have attempted to parallel the theories of science through the use of primary shapes which feature in the study of the world around us. The lightest shade begins with the primary element - the atom - and the darkest shade represents the night sky and the density of mass.Final Design

The Five Images
The studio of Stephen Hawking can be seen as the two floating hollowed out squares on the left, and the one of Charles Darwin is the one on the right, with the glowing rectangular prism separating the two laboratories.
By removing all traces of a landscape apart from the jagged towers, I have attempted to express the vast and never ending space of the universe and also its desolate nature.
The ramp is used here to express the coming together of the two ideas of the scientists - the trees stand as motifs for Darwin's earth-based theories, while the sharp, white light which are next to the laboratory of Hawking are metaphors for his explorations into the less tangible theories on space and light.
I've already critiqued someone else's work, but I just thought I'd say yours is absolutely amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your model! It is just perfect!
I love that there is little landscape!
Just wow...
Key strength of the scheme:
ReplyDelete-Textures have a stylised and distinctive approach to extracting the notion of shadows, especially in regards to relating the light to dark transition with the clients ideas.
-The incorporation of the fluidity of water to warp the reflection of your architecture is breath taking! The way those rigid "jagged towers" are deformed by the water is very intriguing. Lovely image capture!
Most significant weakness of the scheme:
-The image captures may have been used to draw out the essence of the landform as the ramp for the clients as well as display the significance of the meeting place. A way to get around this is to explore the atmosphere within the structures themselves rather than just capturing an overview of the architecture.
Lovely structure! I just want to know and feel more of the environment within rather than just the exterior...
