Study models

The grafting technique used in this design is of a modular geometric form to respond to the existing buildings on the site in the city of Tron. The building design begins with a high intensity of small modular arrangements to create small, dark, opaque spaces which gradually loosens up the modular intensity to create bigger, open spaces filled with light. The transition from dark to light represents the transition of my character from his dark and secretive nature to the necessity to be more open before he faces society again. 

ME in Space

Final Model - Déjà vu (scale 1:1)

First individual model

Study model 

"When we remember a moment, we never really remember them in videos but instead snapshots of that particular moment."

Our model was made with frame-like shapes to symbolise the statement above. Dejavu, an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all is represented in our model by having two similar shapes which appear to be of the same size, but is not (what things appear to be) far apart from one another only connected by a small frame (what things actually are). We started of with wave-like prototypes as we felt it best portrayed rhythm in architecture. 

Learning Outcomes

1. Ability to understand basic design principles in form and space.
2. Ability to understand human scales and proportion.

Representing ME

A gardener by trade, 

A simple hobbit of plain speech;

Unwilling and unprepared for adventure;

Armed only with a gold heart on your sleeve.

But when all hope is on fire,

When you know your heart's desire,

That’s when people start to question why.

Are we but a pair of wandering souls?

Are we cursed?

But you

You stifle the flame

And refuse to let a heart grow cold.

Some call you a comate

but I call you, a hero. 

To never get used to the unspeakable violence, 

And the face of death,

To seek joy in the saddest places. 

He will call me by my name,

He will share my load.

Maybe it’s the fighter in me 

To find a gem from something so simple.

Like a sparrow in an oil spill,

Feathers inky, black and sticky, 

but the glow in your eyes,

have never been brighter. 

You rinse off your mistakes and fly

Choosing to go nowhere but forward. 

You rinse off your mistakes and fly,

Because there is so much good in this world

And you feel it is most definitely worth fighting for.

The poem was based on Sam the Wise (fictional character in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium) as his character best portrayed myself and the things I strived for. Dressed in old baggy clothes and a cape, I recited this poem to my class. 

"You stifle the flame,

and refuse to let a heart grow cold."

The stanza above touches on the importance of friendship in my life as I would always go the extra mile in helping a loved one through tough times. An example from the movie was when Sam offered to bear the weight of the ring for his friend, Frodo. 

"He will call you by name, 

He will share your load."

The stanza above touches on the importance of loyalty in my life as trust to me, is one of the greatest gifts a person can give another. This is can seen be throughout the whole trilogy of the movie, when Sam first agreed to accompany Frodo in their adventure to Mordor.
