Week 11 - Peer Reviews

Peer Review #1

Peer Review #2

Week 10 - Moving Elements

Moving Element #1 : retractable studio wall extensions

Before extending walls

After extending walls

The walls can retract and extend depending on the needs of the user. This is possible for all four studios.

Moving Element #2 : diagonal elevator

The compartment starts at the bottom

Before sliding up and connecting to the bridge, at which point the people inside can exit

This elevator makes access to UNSW buildings, such as the squarehouse, easier.

Week 10 - Textures

Textures
        =>  Words used: Linear, Rotational, Scalar, Opposing, Shift and Fluid <=

Note: all textures are within a 6x6 square, due to some of the designs having white area, they look as though they aren't. Also, the final shift design does fit into a 6x6 square, however when drawing it I accidentally went over. It should be cropped in line with the the texture next to it.

Application of Textures

These three textures chosen as they contain shapes used frequently throughout the model. They also are similar, and as such work together, but also unique in their own way.

Texture #1:

Image of texture sample

Located in the library - highlights separation between library and gallery and also shows intended path of movement

Texture #2:

Image of texture sample

On the edge of central cavity - highlighting the progression of levels, signifying upward movement

Texture #3:

Image of texture sample

On platform of stairs - to highlight progression of stairs, upwards movement

Key words are:
