my finished block model .... my favouriteview into the open green space with double volume voids ... a totally liveable block (i hope) ... turnin a new leaf in krappy photographs ...

Some of my favourite pictures from the photoshoot ...

My new block model

Connection model revisited...

Model with deformed spaces .....

Plaster facade study

The sTL block section ...

For Tuesday ... I plan (want) to ...
Finish my plan (level 6) at 1:100 ...
take a zoom in at levels 4-7 at 1:50 ... where a flat interacts with a blob and a green space... circulation betweeen .... thinking aboutbut maybe look at that more in a rhino model ... ... TOP PRIORITY ...
and retouch the renders with better materials ... and hopefully 4th time STL model ...

These are two new renderings with new materials ... I did montage them into the site... but in my dazed state yesterday/day before ... i saved them as something unrecognisable ... but have them in paper format ... so will show you guys later ... but what do you thinik of my new materials??

Here are some views into my section ... starting to look at how housing relates with housing ...

maybe the triangulation of the dividing walls could help the supporting structure of the block as an autonomous structure to the blob structure ....
housing

These are still preliminary .. i am continuing developing this sectional perspective view ... stil have to think more in depth about flat-blob connection

Heres my manifesto revised ...

As our cities are becoming increasingly connected in physical systems, systems of communication and even global economy, our interaction with our immediate surroundings are changing where our relationship with space has become less physical but one of speed and fleeting moments in time. Taking the feeway, an integral part of LA's urban infrastructure as a starting point, I investigated these systems of connections within the city, in physical elements such as the freeway and the effects of such systems. Taking this new urban phenomena of hyperconnectivity brought upon by such systems of connection, I plan to investigate and explore new types of connections and conditions within the context of a housing superblock, superwall and superflat as an extension of this greater system...

Plan view

An overall view ... of apartment 1 in relationship to outdoor and public space ...

Where every entrance of apartment in the public space has a transition semi/public/private entrance platform...

Looking into entrance of apartment 1

looking from apartment into public space ...

a view of another apartment looking in from public space

the view from apartment into public space

This is a floor plan (it doesnt really look like one though) hmm ... of my first flat and its living area which connects to the public space and communal open space ... is this enough detail? ... i dont think it says enough about border conditions ... what do you guys think? .. how can i make it more interesting? ...

Just the basic footprint of my section .. will add more detail to it before tomorrow ... what do you guys think so far? ... Looking at Rahim's drawings really helped ... will try and contour my curved surfaces with lines ...

This is just for now... have started to put in contour lines ... ... will blog more later tonight ... have it illustratored at home .... have to go to TS

Have been really really slow this weekend with nothing to show ... but worked out these contour curves ... i think these are the right distance apart??

This view would be looking through some glass as a view from inside an apartment out.

The following two are taken from one spot but looking at different angles

Here is my view ...


and this quick rendering ... with focal distance of 4 metres ....

tis super foggy

and then at 10m focal distance

which tis still supa foggy ... ?? what do u guys think the problem is?

Am working on it ... but nothing to show as yet ... but this is what i want it to look like ...

My superflat as yet had not really dealt with the connection/disconnection issues of my block... it was still everything that was negative ... so here through a series of sections through my flat I am trying to think about levels of privacy in volumes, separation and connection... With these sections I will redevelop my flat ...

Nighttime...

Realistic ... i lightened the foreground

Cut n paste ...

through a fuzzy tv

Connecting the space in the guestroom vicinity in terms of privacy and view... Bedroom in a pod (sort of - smaller scaled space) adjacent to exterior framed views. Spaces separated by change in levels and the change in volume.

Still needs alot of work ...
good thing is thou ... you can see that light that there is a continuosu hole (well 2) .. that goes through block... so it COULD be ventilated ... better not say the V word but ... something happened thou ... i used the same material for the roof ... but why is it at different scales ... and the grass became tiled all by itself again?? how why? does anyone know ... does it need to be lighter?? less pink and more blue or ...
