Electroliquid Aggregation

People can change and adapt. Intelligence is divulged by human’s who obtain the ability to understand every breathing second is valuable, reinforcing the attitude; time is precious.

36 CUSTOM TEXTURES

Image on page 26 of the lecture

First of all the image relates back to the concept of the design in the sense of connectivity. The image reveals little shapes and figures bonding together. Similarly to my design of the rectangular model, there are several points which correspond directly to this image. I like the idea of this obscure unique feel of the image which puts forward a new scheme to a component of my design. It has given me a basic concept that I want my design to be unique, something that stands out from the rest. The image reflects back to concept of intertwining objects and figures, creating one form with several objects.

5 REAL TIME IMAGE CAPTURES

As you can see, the working spaces are divided into two parts. The section seen on the left consisting of the the lower roof is Stephen Hawking Space and the lab on the right with the elavated roof is where Charles Darwin would work. Basically this combined working space has been created in a simplistic and realistic way where both Darwin and Hawking can interact and meet effortlessly. Relating back to the ElectroLiquid Aggregation quote, this model has been designed in a way which would save time in interacting and movement between Darwin and Hawking. They are not in seperate rooms neither are there any barriers which cut them apart from communication. However it is taken into consideration the both require there on personal space, that is why the model was created in a rather long style which enables this factor.

As you can guess the ramp has been created mainly for Stephen Hawking as he travels around in a wheel chair. The ramp both gives access to the space below and access to there working spaces. The landform below has been moulded in an appropriate way which enables the clients to meet in the space below. The ramp is connected with the landform allowing both Hawking and Darwin to comfortably exit there working space.

The textures seen on the out covers of the building consist of a light shade for the purpose of reflecting heat and light during the day.

The dark textures on the floor give a sense of ground and strength.

WEEK 1-2

Negative Black and White

This image is a very simplistic one. It is a photograph of a personal letter. They're several techniques used to capture this certain image. Starting with the most obvious, the colour of the photograph was edited into black and white. After this was done, a negative spectrum was added, thus revealing such a result (negative black and white). The angle of the image is taken from the top left section to the bottom right section of the letter. This certain angle and technique has added some edge to the photograph, creating a more interesting image of a simple letter.

The crooked House

This unique obscure looking building is situated in Sopot, at Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street. The architecture of the building is based on drawings by Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg. This image almost seems as though it has been edited to create a type of illusion. However the audience can notice it reveals a type of illusion without the use of editing the image. This is evident as the responders can note the pole and tree positioned at the edges of the image standing upright. It’s a popular tourist destination and inside are a number of pubs and restaurants, and it is the most photographed building in Poland.

Eiffel tower

This is an image of the Eiffel tower located in Paris - 'The city of Love'. This is one of the most recognized structures in the whole world. I have chosen this image as my beauty image, as it reminds me of mans ability to create extraordinary things that go beyond this era (building created in the 19th century). This image of the water lights beaming from beneath reflects the calm night and the wonders of this particular environment.
