EXP 3: Model Draft

EXP 3: Process - Land Development

I'm a bit behind on workload, but I've created a rough idea of how my landscape would look like as a city. The blocks have yet to be coloured, and I've downloaded some into my sketch up file. However, some of them could not be imported into cryengine, therefore I'm making some of them again, like the IFC towers and some other unique shaped buildings.

EXP 3: Mashup

Space should not be seen so much as walls but as an object, as a piece of furniture. Like a piece of furniture, a designed space is defined by its functionality. What is “form”? The problem is that both media and dictionaries define it in the most reductive and banalising way: “form as the outline of an object against a background”. The relationality of programmatic elements, articulated in terms of dynamic coexistence, continual variation and fluid, interconnected space. I find more pleasure in what I would call “concept-form”, bringing a high level of abstraction in orchestrating together a complexity that includes materials, movement and programmes in the definition of architectural form.  Reference1) Stickells, Lee. 2010.
