EXP 02 Week 0.5: Circulation Cross

Circulation Cross;

This weeks task was to create a cross with arms that reached out and interacted with different buildings in the lower campus.

The images below show the circulation cross in Sketchup before rendering in lumion. As you can see it is quite dull and uninteresting without context.


After importing the model into lumion and attaching context to the render, the yet to be building comes to life.

After importing the model into Lumion, I realised the limiation of having the material of the sketchup model set to default. Applying textures to the model in Lumion resulted in the entire material for the building to be altered. Realising this mistake, my next Sketchup to Lumion material render was more varied after keeping this in mind.

The Client:
My studio embed between two snow topped mountains embodies the works of Mountain and Moon and Trent Jansen Studio. I have taken an unconventional route in separating the above ground studio and the below ground studio. In doing so, I believe I have enhanced the importance of my stairs, a mismatched grid of height varying risers, forcing any visitors to make a journey up the mountain.

Some Screenshots and Simple Sketches of Stairs

My stair incorporates a curved section and linear portion, creating a distinct difference between the lower studio and the upper studio. The flat, straight yet random stairs in the lower half presents surfaces where works can be displayed, similarly to the curved handrail on the upper half. My stair design reaches out to my client Mountain and Moon.
