Sketchup Model in Lumion [Reworked]




The water element is inspired by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion.


Pairs of Axonometrics and Interconnecting Pairs [Reworked]

Final pair of axonometrics developed in Sketchup

The top row of drawings involve the initial pair of axonometrics which reflect different quotes from Coop Himmelb(l)au and Antoni Gaudi. From left to right:

1. Basic shapes tilted and slanted within the landscape so that it appears to defy the laws of physics. - Coop Himmelb(l)au
2. Gaudi's emotional treatment of material and structure give expression to natural forms in architecture. - Antoni Gaudi
3. "Architecture of clouds" - Coop Himmelb(l)au
4. A transcendental form which arouses faith, belief and hope. - Antoni Gaudi
5. Imagination confined within the rules. - Antoni Gaudi
6. Structures are not fixed realities but shells for intervention. - Coop Himmelb(l)au

The bottom row of drawings involve interconnecting the two axonometric pairs above together. I decided to rework my axonometric drawings to refine the  use rectangular prisms to five. I have decided to develop three and four.

Sketchup Model in Lumion



Developed from combining axonometrics 3 and 8.

Pairs of Axonometrics

1. LEFT: Structures are not fixed realities but shells for intervention. - Coop Himmelb(l)au
2. RIGHT: "Spatial uncertainty, concept of structures with limitless space; its feeling of sequence, fragmented with holes and partitions, which create a divide without disrupting the feeling of openspace by enclosing it with barriers." - Antoni Gaudi

3. LEFT: Gaudi's emotional treatment of material and structure give expression to natural forms in architecture. Antoni Gaudi
4. RIGHT: "Plenum (a space completely filled with matter). Places of Power." - Coop Himmelb(l)au
5. LEFT: An artist must obey creation. Reconcile architecture and nature. Write a story about the land. Antoni Gaudi
6. RIGHT: A transcendental form which arouses faith, belief and hope. Antoni Gaudi

7. LEFT: Surreal curvature of construction exceeding the boundaries of expectation. - Coop Himmelb(l)au
8. RIGHT: Embrace of imbalance, distortion, fragmentation and chaos. - Coop Himmelb(l)au
