Color exercise & physical 3d outcome exercise.

-

In class, we were asked to experiment with different colors and media based on one of our outcomes, in this post I will explain how it went and what I improved based on this task.

   

This was the base structure that I printed for this task. I used a 1:400 scale and 0.3 = 0.5 pens, this was supposed to be an elevation which is why it has no perspective.
In class, I first started by coloring using different color patterns, and I tried this one in which the main focus was on the glass fronts, and how they would look. I also wanted to see what the stone tiling would look like around the arches which I don't think was successful at all.

I also tried this combination but then again I think it just looks unpleasant.
here I got the idea to make it more monocolored, with black columns and arch contours which I think are just classical and typical that is why I decided to broaden it and started working on this on my digital 3d model.



I decided it was best to use white marble as a dominant color for this structure's decor, I believe that the black columns and blue arches in my design mix modern simplicity with classical beauty. I can create vivid shadows that draw attention to architectural details by utilizing different shades of black to offer depth through textures or granite. In order to improve the design's visual appeal, I want to experiment with materials like white and blue marble. This color scheme, in my opinion, will enhance the building's coherence, flow, and openness. It also improves the contextual aspect of my design since the blue marble will symbolize the spirit of swimming as a sport because it is a recreation facility.

Overall I think this task was successful in reflection but not in class, the media that I used in the drawings I think was inadequate. However, it gave me an idea of the colors that I should implement in my design, I will discuss the materials and the sourcing of marble in the next posts.

sustainability: alternatives to Concrete

click on the image for the link  It is well known that concrete is not a friend to nature, since its production has a considerably high carbon emission rate, According to (Anon, 2023), CO2 emissions caused by concrete production globally are around 8 per cent, and the reason behind this is cement production, which is a crucial component of concrete, it requires a high-temperature kiln for its creation. After researching this topic, I found a few alternatives, and I will take you through my process of thinking about which one(s) will suit my project best. Low-carbon concrete: By mixing collected CO2 into the concrete, the Canadian company CarbonCure produces low-carbon concrete. Industrial emitters absorb CO2 from the environment and use it to chemically change it into a nano-mineral. It is subsequently incorporated into the concrete, strengthening the substance. The method significantly reduces CO2 emissions in both the concrete production process and the atmosphere since less ceme...

Research Post N*1: Andrea Palladio and Palladianism.

During this break, I discovered the Palladian style in architecture whose father is Andrea Palladio. According to Richardson (2024), Pietro Andrea della Gondola (1508–1580). Palladio was regarded as the most successful architect of the sixteenth century, for which he was copied up to four centuries after his death by numerous other architects. Portrait of Palladio by Alessandro Maganza Based on what I have researched and his beautiful buildings, I think I can see why so many consider his work phenomenal, I would say that his style gives a sense of organization since it is mostly centralized, and the entrance is always in the middle for example and the essence of his work is more focused on the detail of the functional entities of the building. I think it might be linked back to the fact that he started as a mason.  According to Ewing et al (1974), t here is more to a Palladian house's tightness and appropriateness than just a sense of comfort and symmetry. It is the preva...

3d outcome

 in this process, I went to the photography studio and took pictures of my 3d model. Here, I played with the lighting and exposure to reach my desired pictures. overall this 3d outcome was okay. However, I expected more from this outcome but the process had some complications. Unfortunately,I did not use acetate because I didn't have enough time left.
