Models & Images



Found this website http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/ the other day. Basically you enter the website, and what it did here was a representation of the aainter3 blog in this rather beautiful graph...

What do the colours mean?
blue: for links (the A tag)
red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green: for the DIV tag
violet: for images (the IMG tag)
yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black: the HTML tag, the root node
grey: all other tags
Cool innit?

Congratulations to Damita Yu who was one of two 3rd year students to be nominated from the AA for this year's RIBA BRONZE MEDAL!
You could now download "superwall" on facebook, they stole our idea...

Excellent work everyone!

I finished preparing laser cut file for background. (mountain scape with hollywood sign like inter 3)

I tried to fit all the names in visible area inbetween our models.
Red line indicate roads on hill which contiue from city grid.(points indicated connection points between background and city grid.)
Names of individuals and roads will be engraved and all the rest will be cut.
I was gonna use 12 mm mdf but I might change it to thinner one because it would make cut faster.

Some photos from today's exhibition work.
The design for the site model is ready, and we are finishing up CNC file, laser cutter files etc...
By tomorrow morning, the CNC file will be ready, and by 15:00, all the laser cutter files for street details, road signs, cars etc... will be ready.
We'll keep posting

base with 2X2 block

15mm mdf sectional profile of slope and wall support

3mm mdf plane

1.5mm ply for wall
I worked out material for whole construction today.
Screen shot shows how we are going to build with what.
2X2 frame still seems a lot so I will go to workshop in monday morning to ask Tris where we don't need support.
Here is list of material we need with quantity.
MDF 15mm X 8 sheets(2440X1220)
*I may replace wall part of sectional profile of this material with 2X2 and just keep curvy
part same
MDF 3mmX4 sheets
PLYWOOD 3mm X 4 sheets
2X4 BLOCK 1178 cm
2X2 BLOCK 6000cm


Here are the screen shots of the site model from today's tutorial.
All the dimensions are fixed and some missing models are added.
This weekend, Naoki and I will meet at school tomorrow to discuss more about the details etc, and I will send e-mail to all the 2nd years about what to do for the next few days :)
Have a good weekend



So we were still working on the site model... sadly,,, urban design was not my thing (sayaka).
Katerina was helping Kevin's site model for RIBA,
Eyal was working on the freeway,
and Naoki and Sayaka were working on the site model (grid, base etc...)
With Monia's help, finally, we got overall ideas for our site.
NOTE: all of us have to send rendering images to Katerina (good ones and the best ones) by Tuesday (a day after the 3rd year table)! We have to make A2 posters for RIBA and our exhibition





So... this is some photos from DAY2.
We worked on finalizing the layout of the city as it is posted on the previous one.
Through brain storming and several sketches, we managed to have the base of the layout of all the models and the form of the city.
Eyal finished working on the CNC file for Gehry building.
Naoki did detailed sketches etc...
Katerina and I were working on the Rhino file for the site.
We will show the layout of the models and ideas we got (also some questions came up during our discussion).


We almost filled most of space available in our city with only our models.
We designed outline of base according to gradual change of scale (thus change of road width)
We have 2 main roads goes parallel (yet curvy) to wall and other road cross perpendicular to those 2.
So how we gonna label street (perpendicular to wall) is street 1/1000, street 1/500 ... like 1st street, 2nd street in actual map.

Very rough dwg of our exhibition space (windows are not in scale).
so our usable space is apx. 3m x 4.1m..

We have 58 models to place in Inter 3 city model.
We just started to arrange model of same scale in one row and try to see how many model we have for each scale.
1:300-500 will be hot spot where all the great model will be situated! !!
In some scale we have much more than other so we might make close scale in same row to see balance.



Discussing about layout of the city etc...
Things to do...
1: Build the base of the site inc. buildings etc..
2: Street signs +streets
3: Cars
4: Book for the unit (B5)
5: Prepare the posters - one rendering from each student will be printed out and mounted on A2 boards. For RIBA and our exhibition
Today, we have done:
-measure all the dimension of the models we are going to put on the site
-calculating the dimension of the street from 1:1000 to 1:10
-discussing / sketching about how we actually gonna make the site and put models together (slope, flat, stair-like etc??)
-started working on the street signs
Tomorrow, we will finalize the layout of the models, materials etc..
Details will be posted on the blog later.
Also, for scheduling and giving tasks to each person, I am thinking of working on online calender so we can all see what to do for the exhibition. What do u think?


So here is our new exhibiton space.
It's right side of the enterence, and the dimension is 4m x 3m (i'll post simple dwg of the room later).
Eric, Yusuke, and Eugene reviewing some of the models after all 2nd years presented at Final Tables today.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Sayaka, Katerina, Eyal, and Naoki as they pass 2nd year and receive feedback from the table.


For Good Luck ,,,Rub My Tummy!!...Go on,,Rub it!!
