18 SKETCH AXONOMETRICS

The drawing with the asterisks is incomplete cos my head couldn't comprehend the other view if the as axonometric shape, however I did draw an extra one :)

2 SHORT TEXTS DESCRIBING THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS - Electro liquid aggregation

1+1=3

Daniel Libeskind : The geometric and angular exist in contract in the monochromatic and monolithic, this disorientation revealed but precise openings and skewed paths of light.

Hans Scharoun: A collision of textures and geometry results in a layered effect that create distinction between spatial foreground and background.

= Precise use of skewed light, shadowing and textures create distinction with the between spatial envirnoment.

I will use distinct colour and textures to create distinction and harmony between the two monuments. Lights will be used to create shadows, placed in precise openings will give character and uniqueness to the monuments.

3D Warehouse

3 Animations from Sketchup

7 IMAGES SHOWING 2 DRAFT SKETCHUP MODELS AND 1 DEVELOPED SKETCHUP MODEL

Draft Sketchup one - As critiqued by Jacky it lacked Architectural space and Structure.

Taken into account Jacky's valuable input and inspired by Peter Eisenman, I had created a new model which looked more reasonable. Eventually the bottom studio had evolved along its course as well.

Front view of final Sketchup Model : Looking through the transparent grey tinted glass

I had decided to use earth tones and materials for both studios even for the different clients to tie the whole architecture into one piece.

The Word used for the top floor was "Craftsmanship' and bottom studio 'Encapture', for Stradivari and Ono respectively.

Stair which are inspired but Stadivari and word 'Craftsmanship'.

The black wires on the balustrade are inspired by the strings on the violin and the 'S' shape under stairs also used as support is inspired by the usually hollow 'S' shape on the surfaces of violins.

The bamboo demonstrated on the left, encages the stairs that lead to Ono's Studio. The Bamboo protruding from the ground acts as a subtle dividing range between the shared spaces of the studio, and also an architectural element.

Stadivari's Violin are displayed by being hung on metal poles, also inspired by the strings on the violin.

The experience of walking up to Ono's Studio. The word which inspired this design is "Encaptured'

Working table of Ono. Although there are a lot of colour and textures in this studio, but because all the shapes are quite organic and the colour compliment each other. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by colours and textures, I believe they bring the whole architecture together in harmoniously.
