Nearly there!

It's the last stretch, with the final tutorial having taken place this week. This gave me a chance to get a final understanding that I was on the right track and now I just need to work to finalizing my design.

Overall I am really happy with my design. I still need to work out the interior spaces but at the moment I am happy with it. I think this is a good thing, as I was not happy with my design for assignment two. Hopefully now I will do better as I am happy with it.

Internal Design

3D VIEW

GROUND LEVEL

LEVEL 1

LEVEL 2

ROOF

I have started looking at different layouts for the interior.  I am following in the original patterns of the ribbons to see what could come out of it for the floors.  

Ribbons

Ribbons come in various widths, yet no matter what they are flowing. My building is made of glass with what looks like ribbons going around it, somewhat wrapping the glass block together.
As I am happy with the basic exterior, I am now going to build upon this in the interior and possibly the overall landscape of the site. I will concentrate more on the interior for now as the landscapes more a bonus.

Another lot of renders!!

Playing with coloured lights in Revit.  Some didnt come out as well as I would have liked.  Need to work out how to change the intensity of the light, or possibly look at other lighting effects other than from the floor.  The internal one has come out really good.  I think that a room like that would be quite fun.  It is amazing how it changes the building from day to night.  

This would look really good when the other levels have lights in them... and possibly the exterior have better lighting.

By far my favourite photo!!! I love the blue and the pink together.  This is the entry, so there is no glass on the walls, just the concrete as seen.  It is a completely open public space with hardly any separation between the inside and outside. 

External Lighting Study

I have decided to look at different options regarding external lighting effects.  It is quite amazing how different changing the colour can make a building.  Where the light is can change the over look of the building and highlight different aspects of it.

It is my thought that there will be an option for all these lighting effects to make the building come alive, and become an icon for Brisbane.

Reflection

After the tutorial tonight, I have come to realise that the wonderland theme I was going to do, is not fitting in with the concept and design I want to do.  My approach of having a basic exterior, and a lively interior is not working due to the interior being too busy. Having different themes in each room does not work with my original concept of 'Abandoned Beauty'.

Due to this I am now going to try a more minimalist approach to the interior, to follow on with my concept.  Hopefully by doing this, my building will look more as one, than multiple different experiences.
