Images of My Developed SketchUp Model

Impressions of Colours and Shapes
This image, which is rendered by Vray, shows the flows of light, shadow and colours in the surfaces of the building for the changing of shapes, materials and textures. The charicters of the different spaces are easier to be recognized that the uppers are much more smooth while the lowers look sharp and cracked.


Communications between the Inside and Outside
This image mainly shows the contrast between the 2 spaces. A breach extanding under the ground constitutes the below place which gives a feeling of approaching the deeper. the above place looks light and quiet to creat a peaceful sense. And both of them still have communications with the oppositions, such as brightness and darkness.


Relations between Each Part of the Building
This image is chosen to show the perspective of structure and spaces. The layers in the building and the links between them can be seen clearly.


Textures and Materials in Use
textures (from above to below): bulbous, mesh, torn

materials: white (as concrete; shell, floors, walls, etc.)
glass (windows, handrails, floors, etc.)
stone (ground)


Section Sketch
above: moment (for Piccinini)
below: tear (for Goodwin)

Short Movie from YouTube



This video inspired me with the changes of light and shadow during the process of going downstairs. The above handrails was composed of thin structures while the below was surrounded by concrete wall thereby showing a gradation from bright to dark.
