Reflection

-


In this post, I am going to reflect on the last few weeks while I was working on my Major Project for Art Portfolio.

I definitely did enjoy designing Dema House as it was nice to take different elements from other fields of arts, such as music videos, lyrics, visualisations and design a building as an interpretation of collected information. I liked researching organic architecture and became really amazed by nature.
In contrast to my first Major Project last term, when I was mostly focused on technical specifications, this time I give myself a chance to play with shapes, colours and aesthetic. Furthermore, in my next project, I would like to connect what I have learned over the last two terms and balance between the artistic and technical side of architecture. Organic shapes are a wide topic and I  definitely want to research them deeper during any of my further projects as I feel I haven't discussed it at length. Although I haven't really used that many new tools while creating this project in Sketchup and Photoshop, I became more confident in using them as having a good basic knowledge I can now go further in exploring this software.

My boards are going to be white and clear as the one's bellow. On the first one, I am going to put my design in a 3D perspective, which shows it the best. I'm also going to include there a concept and development sketches, picture of elevation and cropped close up views. On the second board, I'm going to add a floor plan of a whole house and then separated flat and add comments about technic specifications. Architecture boards

Colours, materials and location

I'd like to use bright, cold colours, but also add a bit of yellow- as it is a part and parcel of the album Trench, which is my main inspiration for this design. When people who are watching trench from the above in Jumpsuit music video throwdown yellow flower petals, they turn back to normal the main character. The colour yellow gives him strength and hope. Yellow is the colour of sunshine, hope, and happiness, so due to a number of researches it positively affects people surrounded by it. To stick with "cold" aesthetic I looked for metal elevation that doesn't have to be for instance silver or gold, but can be any colour (yellow in this case). I decided to use yellow pigmented steel. yellow-painted steel using steel in architecture Initially, I wanted the main construction to be made out of concrete, however making research I decided to change it for white-painted bricks.  as  it is very durable and long-lived. It usually does ...

Organic architecture and geometric shapes in nature

The Lotus Temple - Delhi, India The Lotus Temple - Delhi, India This temple in India was designed by Iranian-Canadian Architect Fariborz Sahba in  1986  to resemble a giant lotus flower. The building is a Bahá’í House of Worship, which means the followers of any sect, denomination, religion, philosophy, or ideal are welcome. The floral design was symbolic of beauty and grace, suggesting that perhaps one day humanity will be a bit more welcoming to all worshipers. I like it's geometric and repetitive structure, which is often visible in nature. NEW LEARNING HUB AT NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY "Hive" was designed by Heatherwick Studios to look like a tree grove. Inside the Learning Hub actually feels like a hive, integrating formal and informal learning spaces to create a comfortable, casual environment. Space is interspersed with gardens, balconies, and nooks. While visitors may be taken with the outstanding exterior aesthetics, the inside i...
