EXPERIMENT 2: THE SPACE BETWEEN (Week 1)

Week 1 

Our class came up with concepts for the architects Ricardo Porro and Aldo Van Eyck. 

To create the axonometrics I used the following 6 concepts from the class brainstorm: 

Porro

Heavy homogenous frames as indeterminate outlines of spaces.

Absence of distinct orientation.

Horizontal expansion vs verticality.

Van Eyck

Unity and Harmonisation of overlapping geometry.

Displacement of different forms to create light and shadow.

Precision in construction but tactility in materiality.

1.  Horizontal expansion vs verticality.

2. Absence of distinct orientation.

3. Heavy homogenous frames as indeterminate outlines of spaces.

 4. Unity and Harmonisation of overlapping geometry.

 5. Modularity blurring distinction between small and monumental.

6. Displacement of different forms to create light and shadow.

I created the 5th axonometric in google sketchup: 

At the moment, Lumion is not working on my laptop, the program keeps crashing every time I open it .. I am in the process of downloading it on a borrowed laptop and hopefully it works. Either way, I will probably need to buy a better one.

Anyway Lumion is successfully working on the other laptop !

Here are the imported models, images taken using FRAPS.
