MON ARCHI

 For this process, I used my 3d Sketchup model and rendered the model that I had talked about before to a pen sketch, I found a neat and sharp-looking one then applied it and took some screenshots. Here are the results: North elevation. South elevation. West elevation. North-West 3d perspective drawing.  AA Section. AA section with perspective. Another one with perspective. South-west elevation Overall I think this process was successful, and the outcomes are to my satisfaction, although I haven't used colors I will include them in my design boards from the SketchUp model that I made. Another point is that I know those aren't actually Sections and elevations, however, I specifically used them to communicate my design in a more understandable way,.

In this post, I will discuss the different materials and justify their sustainability. Toughened glass: Ordinary float glass that has undergone a treatment to increase its resistance to damage is known as toughened safety glass. This makes it far more difficult for an accident or force to shatter than regular glass panes. Because of its robustness and safety, toughened glass is employed in many different applications. #1 Toughened Glass Manufacturers & Suppliers UK (2021) I am using this material mainly for safety reasons, since when it shatters, it breaks into small safe pieces, secondly, it is durable which is in the context of sustainability as well as environmental concerns such as pollution. Another point is that it is resistant to heat and all weather conditions. Anon (2020) recycled concrete: Since recycled concrete has the same qualities as regular concrete but produces less pollution due to CO2 emissions during manufacture, I utilised it instead. To produce recyclable mate

In this post, I will describe the different steps that I went through to make my 3d physical outcome. I think I can sum up the steps into 3 phases: 2d planning on the software AutoCAD, using the laser cutting workshop, and lastly putting everything together. I first started by making a base for the building which is the rectangle on the right, the measurements were 19cm by 14.25cm because I used a 1:421 scale. Then I made the roof on the right whilst taking into consideration the placement of the glass roofs as can be seen below: I put an octagon just by typing it in the command bar and put it in the center of the lobby. Then I created the walls for the ground floor, the two larger parts are in the west and east elevations, and the other parts are separated by the stairs of the north elevation and the infinity pool of the south elevation. the element on the right is the roof, the center is the 1st floor, and the left is the ground floor/base. then I made two 3-point arches and crossed

Fig 1: (My own) Fig 2: my own According to Fig 1 and 2, the site's dimensions are 200m by 140m which is quite enough for my project, I decided that the main facility is going to be a rectangle of 80m by 60m, the rectangle is going to be divided into two equal parts with a separation between the two which is the entrance, lobby, and pool. those parts will each be 30m large and 60m long and the center 20 meters large and 60m long. Here is a bird's view to further explain this: (My own) The Facility is going to feature; a Gymnasium in half of the left part 30m x 30 m which makes it a surface of 900m², whilst the other half will host a Bouldering center (Wall climbing) with the same surface and dimensions, this is possible because the height of the building is 20 meters removing 5 meters for the ground floor which means that the possible height for this facility is about 15 meters. Badminton court measurements The right part will have 3 Badminton courts, this is possible because th

In addition to the other research post, it is crucial to study the demographics of the environment of the site in order to accommodate it to its people. According to data census (n.d.), Cromwell has a population of more than 14000 individuals. Fig 1 This is a chart showing the different ancestries in Cromwell, Connecticut. From what can be seen, the most dominant ancestries: Irish, Italian, Polish, German, and English all have one thing in common, they are of European origins. In fact, all of these ancestries are, except for Subsaharan Africa. Which only represents about 1.6%. Imperatively, I had to choose a design that is relevant to this Euro-American culture, which as discussed is the Gothic style. A monumental European movement. One of the main reasons why I chose Andrea Palladio as the leading inspiration for symmetry, classicism, and ... was the fairly present Italian ancestry in Cromwell. Therefore I found a connection between the two; Gothic style in terms of decoration and str

 In this post, I will discuss the different phases that my project went through. I usewd the digital software Sketchup. I started by making a rectangle with the right measurements (80m x 60m). then I imported this gothic style arch that I found in the sketchup library. Then I filled the top with a rectangle, and found the type of marble that I wanted to include. This blue marble is the one that I found in the library. However, I could not find a way to remove the part opf the rectangle below the arch. So I changed that arch with this one that has the part above the extrados(outside curve of the arch). Then I applied the same blue and white marbles. The I created a circular Pillar and put black tiled granite on it. Then I duplicated the two elements over the surfacr as intended in the plans. Then I made space for the entrance stairs by selecting the lines and deleting them. Here I imported a staircase from the library and replicated it over itself 3 time. This was the product of this ph
