Perspectives and renders from Jamies sketch up model of our building

Using Jamies SketchUp model i used the styles to create some live drawings to use to trace of a sketchy perspective and added some colour. I know its cheating but i find this gets a much better vision of the building.



These are the renders i done using Kerkythea-

Scale Model Making

Today we started working on our model. I done the groundfloor, Michelle done the 1st, Lisa 2nd, Ann 3rd and Dan 4th. Jamie worked on the curved structures. I have been completely stressing today as i stopped smoking yesterday and the 1st years kept asking the same things every two minutes so in the end when i finished my part i helped Ann finish her floor, then we helped Lisa, Dan and Michelle by doing walls and i done the 'hedgehog' window. I stayed a bit later with Jamie today and added the balconies to the house. The images next are how our building looks.....

Ground, 1st and 2nd floor with the balconies....


with the 3rd floor in place....


And with the 4th floor in place...

On Friday me and Jamie will be finishing the model.

Group Project

On the 26th September we were set a new brief, this brief involved us working as a group with the 1st years. In our group there is me, Jamie and Ann from our year, and Dan, Michelle and Lisa are our 1st years. The first week Michelle and Lisa were absent so me Jamie, Ann and Dan were given a client to work for. Our client is an architect. We have to design a home for our clients needs based on the fact that he is an architect. On the first day we came up with a persona for our client, a male batchelor who lives on his own, and who likes modern, sleek designs. We created 2 moodboards and came up with a concept for our idea. On Tuesday we had to do some sketches as individuals and come up with different shapes from our boards that could be used for our building. We went away for the week and created a 3D Concept from our sketches. This is mine:



I came up with this design by using the square and rectangular shapes from our moodboard.

On Monday 3rd October we came together as a group and had a discussion about the shapes we liked and what we would use in our building. We then sketched out some drawings of buildings using the shapes we liked. These are the ideas I sketched-



Then on the Tuesday we selected bits from everyones drawings and came up with a final design.




We then had a discussion of who would do what in their own time, working on peoples strong points and the basis that the first years don't know how to do certain things yet. So me and Ann are doing perspective drawing, Jamie is doing floorplans and elevations in AutoCad, also a sketch up as Dan is using ArchiCad to create a 3D model of our design and Lisa and Michelle are doing scale drawings. This is what i have done so far-


So hopefully on Monday we are able to start our card modelling to scale :D
