Project 2: Importing the modified monument into Lumion

After importing, I worked on the landscape to ensure that it and the monument would compliment each other.

This part of the monument, I intended to appear like a water droplet:

It was inspired by the Waterscaper Resort by Orlando De Urrutia Architecture:

In Lumion, I modified the landscape so that it would appear that the water droplet in the monument was splashing into it thus exploring the interplay between an architectural structure and it's surrounding landforms. 

 

To overcome the boundaries in Lumion I lowered the landscape. I also opened up the jagged spikes so that the monument could see through it to the ocean. This relates back to my concept regarding open spaces - illustrated through the opening up of the monument to the vast ocean.

I moulded the landform with regard to moving from one place to another and considering where people would get the best photos.

Project 2: Modified Monument

I wasn't too keen on how the monument looked, especially in Lumion. So I modified it in a way that I thought might better harmonise with the land forms around it and thus illustrate my concept more effectively. 

'Architecture is the harmonisation of overlapping geometry and open spaces' 

After importing my modified monument into Lumion, it looked pretty cool in combination with the older monument so I took a picture of it for fun.

Project 2: Importing chosen axos to Lumion

Project 2: Applying Artisan

I have chosen to work with the combination of axos#1&6.

I really liked the way the Gateway Arch in America framed its environment. Its curvilinear structure adds a majestic feeling to the monument. I tried to mimic this in my monument:

Project 2: Electroliquid Aggregation of axonometric #1+#6 on Sketchup

I experimented again with another pair of axonometrics to see which would be better.

Axo #1: Aldo Van Eyck

Unity and harmonisation of overlapping geometry

Axo #6: Ricardo Porro

Porosity of architecture and repetition of open spaces

Electroliquid Aggregation:

Architecture is the harmonisation of overlapping geometry and open spaces.
