EXP2 - The Marker in Lumion picture

The marker at night view

When I designing this building, I using the most simple shape - square to express the concepts. However, I add textures and plenty of different color and shape of window to make it look complexity to express the distinctive of the marker.
There have a movement and rhythm between each of the cube and connect each together with some steps. Inside the cube, the up and down of each cube can exactly see the different direction of the whole Blacktown International Sports Park. The marker is mainly construct with four cube which I think can be used in all kinds of functions which demonstrate the significant of the Marker.

Here is some inspiration where I learn the color utilization and the structure arrangement.

These are some design come from a female designer Emmanuelle Moureaux who is full of enthusiasm about the using of the color. She often utilize the color to express the powerful of the building.

EXP2 - The Marker1

When designing the Marker, I often thinking how to make it more unique and amazing while following two concepts:  Simplicity is the true measure of complexity &  A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it. Then I choose this two axonometrics to create the Marker, which i think is more appropriate for the Blacktown International Sports Park.

In this structure, I just using the simple cube with some long and thin rectangle to connect each other together to explain the concept of  Simplicity is the true measure of complexity. Moreover, there have some up and down between each cube and the long thin rectangle showing some movement and rhythm. Besides, there are two cube empty inside to express the idea of  A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it.

Electroliquid Aggregation: Using the less and simple shape while the space is shaped by area rather than constrained by it.

After this, I start thinking what kind of textures may consist with my model. Firstly, I consider the textures must be connect with the concept in the way. Secondly, it is related to the landscape and reveal the distinctive of the marker. Therefore, i choose this three texture in my model from light to dark.

LIGHT: This texture mainly used in window which offer a close relationship with each kind of the window shape. It also used in some surface of the building and step which great connect to the whole structure shape.

MEDIUM: Using powerful and tensioned line to express the space is not limited by its surroundings. Moreover, it bring sharp contrast with the marker which offer a different visual aesthetic.

DARK: This texture is consist of thickly dotted leaves shape, which have a great relationship with its environment that is planted with amount of trees and glass.

EXP2-36 custom textures - from dark to light

There is a series of 36 custom textures that represent the entire range from dark to light.

EXP2-THE 18 SKETCH AXONOMETRICS

Here is a further look of how to interconnect two axonometrics into one structure.

EXP2-THE 18 SKETCH AXONOMETRICS

There is a series of 6 axonometrics exploring the amalgamation of 5 rectangular prisms and  a second series of 6 axonometrics that re-draw the first series from the opposite point of view.  Each amalgamation reflect a concept from Buckminster Fuller or Olson Kundig.

 Simplicity is the true measure of complexity

 Architecture is the intersection between the poetic and the rational

 Contradictory objectives; open to environment, yet closed to create privacy

 A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it

 Architecture is a movement and it transforms its surroundings

 Reorganising the environment for prosperity

There is a series of 3 parallel projections exploring the interconnection between pairs of previous drawings.

The starting and practice of the axonometrics & parallel projections

Here is some axonometrics and parallel projections draft practice drawings before the starting of the EXPERIMENT TWO . It is some draft that what I think about the way to drawing a sketch axonometric. (They are not a formal drawing).

Concepts of the two Architects

Olson Kundig

1. Architecture is the intersection between the poetic and the rational
2. Contradictory objectives; open to environment, yet closed to create privacy
3. A space is not constrained by area inside the building, a space is shaped by it
4. Architecture is a movement and it transforms its surroundings
5. References homes as primitive places
6. Architecture must be as intimate as a family member

Buckminster Fuller

1. There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you its going to be a butterfly
2. Love is metaphysical gravity
3. Ideals of ephemeralisation; "doing more and more with less and less until you can do everything with nothing”
4. Simplicity is the true measure of complexity
5. Reorganising the environment for prosperity
6. "Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment."
