Progress for Experiment 3 University 24 June 2014 (Textures)

By this time, the core principles of the university have been solidified and essentially finalised, with only the textures and final furniture required. Today, the aim was to complete the 36 custom textures and apply them to the sketchup model. 

The series of images exhibit the logical placement of textures (both custom and pre-made) within various components of the structure.

The image above is a snapshot inside the library (top floor).

The image above is a sectional view of the mezzanine and the ground floor, showing the textures of the public and private spaces and how they vary.

The mezzanine and library floors have been textured similarly to indicate their purpose in the building: as quiet, private study areas.

The screenshot above shows the textures utilised on the main interior walls and flooring of the structure.

The walls which bear significance, such as the walls of the lecture theatre, studios, gallery and offices for staff (staff space shown above) have been textured distinctly different to the generic main walls to emphasise their importance to the structure and allows the visitor to distinguish key components.

The main walls are textured using linear, square-based patterns as shown above.



The two images below are a front elevation and a plan view respectively of the fully textured exterior.

36 Custom Sketches

Below are sets of textures which reflect specific forms of movement. Hence, each bundle is categorised by an overlying key word emphasising types of movement. Several of these textures will be elected later to be utilised in the university bridge.

DIMINISHING

LINEAR

ROTATIONAL

SCALAR

STAGGERED STEPS

SWAY

Two Point Perspective Sketches

This post contains 6 sets of two point perspective sketches, with each sketch in the set conveying different views with respect to the horizon line. 

These images allude to engineering theories to reinforce the structures designed.

DENSE

SUPPORT

SPANNING

STRUCTURALLY SOUND

ENCAPSULATION (USED AS A MOVING ELEMENT) 

AESTHETIC

One Point Perspective Sketches

This post contains 7 pairs of one point perspective sketches, alluding to the theories of engineering. 

Each sketch in the pair is taken at different horizon lines, where some images can be seen from below eye view, eye view and above eye view.

CONVENTIONAL

MONOLITHIC

STURDY

HIERARCHY

INNOVATIVE

VERSATILE (WILL BE DEVELOPED INTO FOLLY)

Progress of the University Bridge 23rd June 2014 (Interior)

The images below show the daily progress (23rd June 2014) of model for Experiment 3. 

The first image is a continuation from yesterday's conclusion. 

The second image is a realistic view from a seat in the lecture theatre. Colour and textures have been applied to the theatre. The plan is to have the remaining furniture placed at the end to avoid lag issues.

The third image is a section showing the bottom, mezzanine and top floor of the university (where the top floor is the library, the mezzanine space contains study rooms and the bottom floor consists of offices and meeting rooms for general staff).

Final screenshot shows a plan sectional view of the final progress for the day.

Progress of the University Bridge 22nd June 2014 (Exterior)

The series of images below highlight the progress of the Sketchup model. The first image is from the commencement of development on the day. The second and third are more detailed images showing the creation of the lecture theatre. The fourth and fifth screen-captures exhibit the final product for today.
