Week 4: Applied Textures in SketchUp and Lumion

This linear adaption of the historical cruciform shape highlights the asymmetry of the folly's crosses with its subversion of the typical cross outline. However, it guides the traditional cross shape in its application and dictates the thoroughfare within the folly, integral to its very function as a ceremonious lunch hall.

This modernist interpretation of a pyramid structure seeks to highlight the very background of our conventional structural-truss system that is employed by engineers and architects alike in the support of the buildings they create. This particular application of the texture accentuates the aesthetic attention that the exterior truss network draws, leading students,staff and guests through its provocative mesh to the interior spaces it houses.

The rectilinear presentation of a rotational system evident in this texture articulates the major gyral component of the building; its vertical columns and spiral staircases. Indeed, the texture strikes a delicate balance between the high-technology architecture represented by the mesh web, and the traditionally delicate form of the pillar, that gracefully forms the dual peaks of the grand building

Week 4: New 'Web Mesh' for Bridge Exterior

After importing a simple artisan shape from sketchup into Rhino I played around for some time attempting to create a mesh out of it with the grasshopper extension. Had to employ the help of Stephen to do it successfully so thanks to him for his help!

The new web-mesh promotes a more organic look. When combined with the Lumion Environment, I feel it will provide sensational landscape shots because of the interplay of the organic structure with its rigid make-up of truss components.
