mbr Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 It was after UCLA. It was after the project was done, actually (I know, but I didn't design the building - my partner did at his old firm for a competition, so I really can't take all the credit). It was a diagram to show the movement through the buildings and how the forms intersected, etc., etc. There was actually a series of 5 of them that should the strategy, from beginning to end. Personally, I think diagrams are some of the most beautiful aspects of architecture. I love the abstract models and drawings, that are about scaleless space and motion - mostly eyecandy, but inspirational. They also document the process, which is a critical part to progression.

kid Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 The storyboard images I showed in my other thread, each one was printed onto A5 Arches Watercolor Medium 185gsm paper on my home printer, HP Deskjet 1220C. The came up looking great. It didn't blead at all, and the tooth of the paper gave them a great look. Running an A1 sheet of the same stuff through a plotter is maybe a different story. Because the linework was scanned freehand pencil sketches most people didn't believe me that I coloured them in photoshop and printed them out, they thought they were bonified watercolours. People just kept saying they didn't look computery They're stuck on the gallery wall at school at the moment, when I get them back I'll take a photo one.

garethace Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I love the way a member here at CG Architect, has some sketching, with photoshop shadows put in like that. Beautiful. Low profile buildings are something I always found hard to tackle, but using computers this particular French Architect, brought his original very naive and paper architecture looking sketches up to something more buildable. I mean, I had to design an Olympic Swimming Pool down in the Docklands a few years ago, for instance was a nightmare to conceptualise using physical models and drawings. Brian O' Hanlon. Here is that French Architects visualisation in computers. sketch 1 2 3 Elevation 1 2 3 Plan 1 External perspective 1 2 3 Structure 2 sectional model 1 [ September 30, 2003, 08:07 AM: Message edited by: garethace ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
