Week 1 Independent Study

I have chosen to design spaces for FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE and CHARLES DARWIN.


Florence Nightingale Axonometrics:

The 18 considered axonometrics for Nightingale illustrate her quote
"She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.".

This is achieved by creating three rectangular prisms, aligned in a carefully considered way so that as one progresses through these architectural spaces, a certain ambience is felt, as the quality of light and the quality of the space (height, width, depth) changes.























Charles Darwin Axonometrics

Darwins axonometrics are reflective of his chosen quote
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."

In contrast to Nightingale's spaces, Darwin's portray rectangular prisms of varying forms which intersect and protrude to illustrate his theory of 'change'.

Final Sketchup model in Google Warehouse

Ivette's Final model uploaded in Google Warehouse.

This model reveals three spaces:
An above ground studio space for Marcel Duchamp's painting 'Nude
descending a staircase' which is characterised by the noun
'Gesticulation' (movement).

A gallery space for the two works

A below ground studio space for Patricia Piccinini's vidio installation
'Swell' which is characterised by the adjective 'Puissant' (Dynamic).

Week 4 Independent Study

Completed Sketchup animations:





Underground Studio Space for Patricia Piccinini's Video Installaton 'Swell'. Adjective this is based on = 'Dynamic'.





Ground level Gallery space for both artists.





Above ground studio space for Marcel Duchamp's painting 'Nude descending a staircase'. Noun this is based on = 'Gesticulation' (movement).

---------------------


Animation Storyboards


Animation for Patricia Puccinini's underground space.

Word = 'Puissant' (dynamic)

Aim: To create an animation that portrays the jagged nature of the artist's studio space. To do this, the camera jumps from different angles and views in a fast paced animation.




Animation for the Ground level Gallery space


Aim: To create an animation that moved from the top of the underground staircase around to where Duchamp would display his painting and around to the area where Patricia's video installation is displayed, seperated by translucent glass for acoustic purposes. The transition between scenes is smooth.




Animation for Marcel Duchamp's above ground studio space

Word = 'Gesticulation' (movement)


Aim: To create an animation that flows through the space, slowely revealing the curved and light nature of the studio.
