Week6

Library

A library for uni students to read and borrow books and study.
- Small studying space.
- Thick concrete top, floors and walls for the place to be secured from noise.
- (May be) Some big windows for good lightings for students to read and study.
- Would be great to be on the top floor of the building for less noise from the floor above.

And this is my final 1:1 model. I could have made the standing on the left to be much thicker because it was a bit week to support the shelf.
and could have use the lighter mdf to make it becuase it was abit heavy.

On the fifth draw the displayment of the book is in the middle.
on the both side of the displayment, left and right you can put and stick about four to five books in there depending on thickness of the book. As well as allowing five books to stick in, having the five stories in my bookshelf was me trying to show an idea of daily almost constant life of five days in the week excepting weekends because people go to work in the weekdays and will have a different routine in the weekend as they may wake up late then usual or go to shopping etc. Out of five stories of the bookshelf the last two stories does not have any displayment giving an idea of two days of weekend (Saturaday and Sunday).
This is the design that I came up with. The book shlef will have five stories in total and have three displaying place in 5th,4th and 3rd floor. The 5th floor basically has the idea of the sustennace therefore I am going to make a 1:1 model of part of fifth floor of the circle part in the drawing.



The site that I went was cafe called Hulu Cat in Anzac Road. I wanted to design my bookshelf inside of the building as it would secure lot of noises from outdoors. I also choose the site to be a cafe because I thought it would be much nicer to read in the cafe with little bit of musics going around.

Sustanence

My idea of sustanence was about mental sustanence and came up with books that keeps our knowledge going. I alsp thought about what else do we need that relate to books and came up with the bookshelves.

Some more development and FINAL

After talking with Ian i tried to put in some subspaces but the base of the structure was too small and as there were too many prism for me make more prims I decided to make a deck for a view after waking up. The first shape of the deck was suppose to look like shower spary heading towards the water ripple to show the idea of taking shower after waking up.

























Final
This is what my fianl structure looks like. I got some more prism and construct them. Also on the rightside of the deck there is a stair for the access to the deck from the structure. Say Hi for stairs and Bye make them go back.


Development

 Okay. I have decided to make some changes as my structure looked too boring. I did some scripting and made a small ball to rotate around my structure showing the daily life idea. I also lowered down the top water ripple roof because it looked like a separate thing to my structure.


My rainbow glowing bowls are trying to show the movement of the sun as well as the sun lights. Some of the bowls are below the structure showing an idea when night it goes other side of the earth.

Wall.
I wanted to put some texture for my wall and tried some textures that I had. From 3D max sculpted texture below I could have different variety of colours which was what I wanted to show the different sky colours of mornings depending on different weather everyday.

waking up

Top of the structure.
I had a bit of play with the water fall texture script and came out with the texture of water ripple rippling without waterdrops. I wanted to show water on the top of my sturcture to show an idea of waking up and going for a shower.
The wall of the structure.
I have decided to make my structure's wall to glow to give an idea of sun rising up and the strike your eye with bright light in the morning down the window. Also used the intense glow to represent realising and waking up
The bottom floor. I have made the floor to be round shape to show the daily life of people waking up. In the bottom floor I have putted the texture from library (Fabric - Blue white Gingham) basically just trying to show the fabric of the bed. Not pretty sure if I want this.
