Week 10 - Final Submission

Here are my best 10 images through the duration of this second assessment.

Written Statement

Exploring Light Fantasies in the Ordinary

Aesthetic experimentation with light openings can conceive a fantastical ambience in an ordinary space. As such, unordinary attempts for manipulating light have been made through a living room design. The incorporation of side windows with a stark rectilinear design allows for distinctive triangle imprints of natural light to be marked in the room. Enhancing this imprinting effect is the front porch adhering to this same design with its railing, a cool mystical sense resultingly provided in the space. The implementation of ceiling openings harnesses additional light, although in a different, typical manner due to the rectangular form. Hence, the transformed light openings were moderately successful in creating a fantastical atmosphere in this ordinary space.

Week 8

Photoshopping a model

First Photo

Original photo

Work

This selection of materials gave off a humbling feeling, so the model room could be a place that one can call home. The background selected is infamously of a hilly plain.

Textures (from left to right): ivory wallpaper, mahogany wood, pine wood planking

 Second Photo

Original Photo

Work

The palette of textures in this case is of a sophisticated set of materials, emanating a sense of regality and luxury in the room. The background is a sunset field.

Textures (from left to right): white tarpaulin, white wooden planking, textured wallpaper, blue granite tiling, golden metallic wallpaper

Third Photo

Work

This third range of textures has the theme of calming and relaxation; as such, the suitable background is a beach with a similar colour palette.

Textures (from left to right): blue mosaic tiles, timber planking, white stucco paint

Fusion 360 Work

Here are various material combinations I have applied to the design made on the software.

Combination 1: Pine Wood, Blue Chrome, Green Fabric

I have chosen these materials based on my prior experience in working with materials; I've worked with pine wood for most of my wood-based projects, I enjoy dealing with fabrics in textiles projects, and blue chrome is one of the materials that I'd like to deal with in future projects. 

Combination 2: Blue Granite, Polished Gold

This beautiful combination is one of my favourites; in terms of colours, the navy blue goes hand in hand with shining gold - similar to stars in the skies; and, the sophistication in using a polished metal against a strong substance such as granite substantiates the regal textural qualities.

Combination 3: Mirror, Concrete, Emerald

This material combination reflects my personal outlook on life; a person should always engage in personal reflection, remain humble and concreted, and they should strive to produe the best results as the gemstone they are.

Week 7

Models

Iterative model (1:50): I have improved my workspace by adding side windows with the peculiar sharp pattern I worked with last time. 

I have also transformed the front window into a balcony of some sorts, with the same pattern pertaining to the balustrade. 

Template model (1:100): The model drawn using Fusion 360 has been replicated as this small paper model. It was quite difficult to work with a model this small.

Fusion 360 Work

The initials I included in the form made on this software are J and T. I have omitted the A of my middle name, as it was difficult to shell the work otherwise.
