3D Fixtures & Fittings Day 2

A day of research, research and more research!
We were however given a sheet with a range of sized figures. This was given to us to use to draw figures into our drawing of our structures, to make them look more realistic and professional. This gave us the opportunity to 'picture' our creations in a very realistic manner. This is very important in industry, as all architects have to do it!

I was further looking into not only the exterior of the building, but also the interior (as it plays a major role when designing anything new). I was creating my own floor plans, design framework etc. I also but everything floor into a flow diagram, just to make it easier for my viewers to understand. I looked into materials that I could use. (That are durable, high quality, but reasonably priced). I also looked at other existing creations that inspired me to come up with mine. I will be adding my two final pages of research that was used for my presentation.

3D - Fixtures & Fittings Day 1

Fixtures and fittings can be used in a variety of ways: functional, aesthetic, decorative, the positioning of the screws on a piece of furniture can be both a structural and visual consideration. The idea of research, sampling and 3d object is a criteria I hope to keep fulfilling in my every project. They maybe enlarged, overused, distorted, repeated in masse to beuone the prominent material from which the subject is made. Artists, designers and architects that I have looked into and have been inspired by are: Ronan Erwan Bouroullec, Richard Rogers, Shingeru Ban and Renzo Piano.

The first task was to, write as many functional properties that architecture consists of. This included form and function.

After writing down our 50 functions, we had to come up with new creations with materials we had bought in from home. These images demonstrate some of my ideas and new inventions of architectural buildings.
