Finally finished!

BRO. I've finished! Took awhile- BUT I CAN'T UPLOAD THE VIDEO WITHOUT IT GETTING REMOVED FOR COPYRIGHT OF MUSIC!!!?!?!?!?!

FRUSTRATION.

EDIT:  OK, managed it but it's real bad quality. Better to watch the good on my laptop on the day!

Working steadily through..

About half way through now.... everything is taking so long!!

Also tried starting to make the movie too- it took about an hour to make 20seconds worth!! Gotta get more efficient and hopefully finish and not have a late night....

Re-Re-starting the drawings!

Got my piece of paper- this time it's a 400GSM water colour sheet! So none of the stuff will penetrate even if it is left over night!!

Will go with previous ideas etc.

Couldn't make it...

Couldn't make it into studio today as I went to doctors South Auckland. Blood test to determine if I have glandular fever or not............ hopefully not.

LOL- My stuff was ruined.

Someone tipped the green dye I had on my drawings and left it overnight..... it went through the paper and stained a large part of it. Great, now we have to go out of town! Woo 4 days out.

Gonna have to wait till tomorrow to be able to buy a new piece of paper!!

Re-Starting Drawing project!

Ok, having my old word being- (Re) Masticking - my tutors said that it wasn't actually very er.. much to do with it haha which I agree. So..

My new word is: Rampification- The substitution of stair cases, elevators with RAMPS! This made my last building more FUN, as you had to climb all 5 storeys of ramps to get to the tops. This made you have to stop at each storey to enjoy all the clients' levels! YAY!

Anyways here are a couple of pics.

Starting new drawing project/section

We had to buy a piece of A1 Paper. So I got one, 300GSM, textured watercolour paper from Gordon Harris. Exciting stuff.

Then we had to gift something. My gift is of food. It is necessary in life. Especially after watching this:

Then we had to make up a word.
I thought along the lines of eating. Chewing is NECESSARY. So.. mastication. Windows and doors are necessary in buildings.
My word is: Masticking. The addition of doors and windows and necessary elements to a building to make it work. Yeya.

This was a pretty good day!

I had these three this time:

-Aaron Hills
He had a nice location and had put a lot of work into his stuff. His drawings were really cool and detailed and then also clever. He had combined his last projects well indeed.

-Elena- had packed up a bit before I got to her.

-Bennett- also had a great idea. His final product combined a cubic shape with rounded panels. It was very beautiful and was obvious he had put a lot of work into it!

Extra model...

...looking at relationship between 2nd and 3rd floor and separate client areas:

Drawings etc.

Final model.

1st floor:

Second floor:

Third floor:

Fourth floor:

Fifth floor:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final thing.

As can be seen by model, more than 90% of the whole building is made from concrete. Shows the stacked effect that was occurring in the second concept model.

Also shows the squashed effect with all the floors being larger than bottom floor. Although smaller, it contains greatest strength- enough to hold all floors up.

Also, the ramps came out alright. They were integrated nicely making interesting spaces without taking up too much space. The floor area was maximised on each level.

The paint was a stupid idea. Gotta stop thinking like an idiot and not make shit represent other stuff.
