[Assignment 3]
We continued our SketchUp Development this past week with an extension to our last assignment. The ideas were similar, as we were asked to develop a courtyard for a patron who is fascinated by geometric patterns. The first phase called for repetition in geometric form to encourage dramatic shadows throughout the day and at different times of the year. I chose a simple triangular pattern that my group used for a shading apparatus in our environmental control systems class.

The material is canvas, or recycled sails, and it is attached to thin steel posts. The repetition of form, and variation in color offers dynamic and changing shadows throughout the day. The bold reds and gradient to gray would appear different depending on the variations in the sun, clouds, and sky, creating a different scene upon each visit.

Finally, we were asked to play around with a renditioning tool to add artificial lighting and better quality for presentation.

Nick, the arcs of sail-like flags are very beautiful. I appreciate how they all work as a group, both as enclosure and a shadow casting pieces. The only part I couldn't catch was the color - I expect them to be red consistently on one side, grey on the other.
ReplyDeleteYou created a nice set of daylit overviews and detail views, each complementing each other. The scale figures in the fourth "internal experience" add empathy and visual interest.
The night views are have a mysterious quality. I like the summer morning and the night overview best because of the lovely geometry, the play of planes. The second night shot could be more interesting if you play with the depth of field and activate the straight sky and ground silhouettes. Too much of that image is blank - it either needs to be lit to activate it or it should be cropped. Because detail is being lost in the darkness, the night closeups are not as exciting as the daytime views: either increasing the over ambient light or adding some dim (invisible) point sources as fill could help.
Great to see your effort at creating a new structure - it is really nice.
