Experiment 1 FINAL (The Datum)

dd

The two clients I chose for this submission were Heston Blumenthal and Revival Cycles. I was inspired by Heston's Mandarin Aerated Chocolate and Revival Cycles' Vincent Rapide motorcycle, from which I developed 2 sectional plans based on the words "sponge" and "inquisitive". These words were chosen to describe the immediate spirit of the images below. 



Revival Cycles (Inquisitive) 



Heston Blumenthal (Sponge) 




Attempt 1 (Working with the following sections) 


Concrete/Corrugated Iron, Glass


EFTE / Steel 



Attempt 2


I liked the second model and decided to develop that further. 


Final Building 






The top section represents "Inquisitive", incorporating squares and rectangles of different sizes. There is also a small maze leading to a storage room. 

The lower section represents "sponge", taking an irregular yet round shape. 

The two sections come together through a dome like structure. The transparent material in this dome reflects the lightness of the "sponge", yet allows the suspended elements from the ceiling "probe" in. 


Here are the textures used: 



Above Ground (Iridescent) 


Ground (Hollow) 


Below Ground (Gelatinous)
