EXP2:LECTURE 7 REFLECTION

These series of slides came from the lecture 7 which focuses on the lights and shadows applying in architecture. the chapter "shadow as repetition" is fascinating one, which demonstrates the important role the lights play in architecture and how interesting a building could be by light. I was inspired a lot that it is the light(and shadows which are the productions of both lights and constructions) to give a "dead" building "life". For example, in the slide above the fireflag-like light (left-hand side)along with the stairs gives a clear direction to people where to go, and those sparkle lights(right-hand side) give people a feeling of mystery.

The structure, the texture, etc. are all unchangeable factors for a building, but the light. take sunlight for instance, the direction of the sun chages during a day and everyday is different during a year. thus, the building can give people different apparences and feelings in different time. it makes a building fresh and variable.

Therefore a smart design should take advantage of light, no matter for the energy-efficiency purpose or for the attractiveness purpose.

EXP2: ELECTROLIQUID AGGREGATION

Quote of Alfred Nobel(dynamite）:“when two armies of equal strength can annihilate each other in an instant, then all civilized nations will retreat and disband their troops.'"

Quote about Keith Campbell （clone）: "A major key to their success was Campbell's understanding of the cell cycle-the steps involved in cell division-and its technical implications."

The electroliquid aggregation of these two quotes above:
A major key to the success of an instant annihilation is that the two equal-strength armies understand the steps involved in the battle and its technical implications.

EXP2: 9 PARELLEL PROJECTIONS (WITH OPPOSITE ANGLE VIEW)

EXP2:WEEK 1— UT DRAFTS

This is a laboratory inside the wall and its spiral stairs(which can be seen a ramp) towards the laboratory outside.

EXP2：UT FIRST TRY

This is just my first try of using UT, I found it pretty hard, but at least, I made something.

EXP2：18 sketch axonometrics

1.Alfred Nobel(dynamite)

“when two armies of equal strength can annihilate each other in an instant, then all civilized nations will retreat and disband their troops."

2.JACQUES-YVESCOUSTEAU(diving Saucer)

the vehicle was dubbed " diving saucer ", because of its resemblance to the flying saucers of science fiction.she was the first underwater vehicle designed expressly for scientific exploration.It moves just as a squid does, with an ingenious but simple jet propulsion system: water is drawn in from the outside and squirted back out through two tubes. With these jets, the saucer can move along underwater at a speed of 2 knots.

EXP1：FINAL SUBMISSION

This is the link of my Sketchup model in Google 3D warehouse:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=1c2a69a4f083e5b8dc5371a603169a03



The images of developed model:

The original sketch from my sketchbook, the description of above ground is "depend" and the description of below ground is "flow"

The three textures I applied to my model. The first one is applied in exhibition space using the material of semi-transpatent glass, the second one is applied in the belowground studio which seems heavy and rough. The third one is made of mosaics which are in random order and shapes.
