Mash-Up

Lady Gaga Quotes

"Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it" "You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way"

Oprah Quotes

"As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around"
"Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment"

Jonathan Ive Quotes

"One of the hallmarks of the team is this sense of looking to be wrong. It's the inquisitiveness, and sense of exploration. It's about being excited to be wrong, because then you've discovered something new."

"We try to solve very complicated problems without letting people know how complicated the problem was. That's the appropriate thing."

Mash-Up 

Power is an individual trait, one that belongs to you. People have a right to "have their own opinion" and to be "unique, and differnt and shine in your own way", and this individuality provides the power a person needs in life. "As you become more clear about who you really are" you will find it much easier to be a stornger and more powerful person. Even if we discover something wrong in life "you've discovered something new", that helps you become a better person and knowing whats wrong "puts you in the best place for the next moment". As a human seeking the best out of life "we try to solve very complicated problems without letting people know how complicated the problem was", this in turn negatively impacts upon an individual, and if people knew what others were facing in life, couldnt we all, as individuals and society be more powerful?

Assessment Two Basic SketchUp Model in Crysis

Views of my basic axonometric structure created in SketchUp and then exported into Crysis. For this particular structure, I placed it alongside a body of water surrounded by luscious vegetation. This provides the perfect escape for any individual wishing to get away from society. 

View 1: View from the East looking up towards the building as the sun peaks through in the early hours of the morning

View 2: View from the South from within the vegetation looking out towards the ocean 

View 3: View from the North looking at the structure situated amongst the dense vegetation

View 4: View from the East looking through the vegetation showing how the shadows and light reflect off the surface of the structure

Assessment Two 36 Textures

For my selection of textures showing light, medium and dark I have chosen to do six different textures and then individually use these six to form different patterns of this nature. Each texture represents a different perception of how elements flow from light through to dark.

Assessment Two Combined Axonometrics

Below, as shown in the images are the combined axonometrics, these were formed by two of the basic axonometrics shown in my previous post. Each combined structure had to contain ten additions and/or subtractions to create a structure suitable for two of the clients to live and work in. For these I tried to creatively position the structures so that they suited the individual and blend them together so they became one.

Newton/Agnesi:

"A myriad of materials creates a more dynamic structure when every light has an equal and opposite darkness"

Newton/Freud:

"When materials depend on each other and collaborate, they solve the problem of creating space"

Freud/Agnesi:

"When simple elements come together to form a complicated element, the perception of this structure changes over time"

Assessment Two 6 Basic Axonometrics

Below are my six basic axonometrics I have chosen. Each contains 5 different additions or subtractions of blocks which was our given number to work with. Each individual structure contains two different views; one from the front and one from the rear as stated in each caption. All structures created relate in some way to the hypotheses that were originally thought out in class.  

NEWTON:

Front and Rear View accordingly of "For every light their is an equal and opposite darkness"


FREUD:

Front View of "The best approach to solve a problem is through collaboration"

Rear View of "The best approach to solve a problem is through collaboration"

Front View of "Perception of a structure changes over time"

Rear View of "Perception of a structure changes over time"


AGNESI:

Front View of "Materials depend on each other to create space"

Rear view of "Materials depend on each other to create space"

Front and Rear View accordingly of "A myriad of materials creates a more dynamic structure"

Front View of "Complicated elements start with simple elements"

Rear View of "Complicated elements start with simple elements"
