Block Composition

 When thinking of the space I was trying to create an entrance that looked through all parts, the angles would have to be of varying degrees so I chose a pyramid, the rectangular prism is the main area with living rooms, dining room and the like with a connection to the cylinder, the cylinder would then contain all the bedrooms and on the upper floor more public space that is still undecided.

The use of the torus was to be in such as a walkway but containing smaller public areas, connected between two main complexes the cylinder is the entrance with a small guest area while the pyramid holds the main parts of the building, bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens and the like. I would like to try and split up the public spaces into smaller more private ones through the torus allowing for a unique entry to the main complex and becoming more personal with the shape and effect of the pieces

Friedensreich Hundertwasser: Tutorial for Week 2

Before Friedensreich became an architect he was an artist, this is where most of his influences came from for his strange buildings, his use of vivid colours and distorted realities meant that it had a cheerful and interesting atmosphere with several meanings behind it. 

As Friedensreich started to develop into architecture he brought with him his vivid colour palette and distaste of straight lines and as he would call "geometric destruction" .

He is complicated.

Tutorail Week 2 Paper Models

This paper model is used to represent Friedensreich Hundertwasser's expression of organic form and influences of nature in his artworks and architectural spaces, refusing the use of straight lines and preferring curvature for his artistic opinion. The model was often difficult to work with to contain a whole piece of paper while continuing the set together piece of paper

 

 

 

This paper model is referring more to his architecture that although it presents some functions, Friedensreich and his architecture with having a freedom to express and create for each user of the space, wanting a natural element of change and individuality to the people who experience his works. Using sticky tape helped with trying to form the object and keeping the natural need for a curve

 

 

This is a 3D model representation of his artwork "Blobs Grow in Beloved Gardens"

Trying to imitate the curved structure and unconventional creation of the this architecture. The ability to cut and paste provided better freedom for making the paper model closer to the artwork however it made firstly less abstract and meaningful but also meant that the model didn't need to be as well thought out and this meant the quality of the end product was of a lower make.

 

 

Design Influence: Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Friedensreich Hundertwasser:

Blobs Grow in Beloved Gardens

 

Hundertwasser really captured my attention with a controlled visual mess. Lack of any straight lines and wacky colours to make this artwork an interesting and suggestive way of building and experiencing a structure. The focus of the subject is mainly based on the garden and natural elements around the building, with the colour scheme and subjects, the main emphasis on large plants. I'll be very interested to see how these buildings could be reproduced with the same vivid colour scheme and rounded shapes in a 3D environment
