Week 5


My strategy behind interactively demonstrating a notion of decay will be put through the breakage of glass. As all elements of the house of Bordeaux are made of extremely solid materials such as steel and concrete. The lightest and easiest to break is the fragile and already fractured glass.

Week 4


5 Movie Trailers

Ive been inspired by horror or abandoned building films to get ideas on the elements that can be applied to my environent to create an abandoned feel to it.

The others (2001) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu494-Dr5po
Ive been inspired by the external scenes of the house. The fog, shadows and murky scenes give a sence of screening.


The abandoned building is opened spaced like the house of Bordeaux. The water leakage can be applied to the house of Bordeaux.


The city landscape abandoned and replaced by zombies is a good way of fitting in an abandoned scene. Even adding a new species to the environemt such as zombies can depict the concept of life after people.


Scenes were shot from an abandoned power generation station to create the chilling shots to depict the post apocalyptic future.


The film is about a couple of guys trying to remodel this abandoned hospital. The horror night sneaky or hidden camera scenes depicted can be applied to the house of Bordeaux environment to create a lonesome vibe

Week 3 - Independent study


Steel
Steel is an alloy made by combining iron and other elements and is an inexpensive mass-produced material. Steel is one of the most common materials in the world, with more than 1.3 billion tons produced annually. It is a major component in buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, appliances, and weapons. When impure (cast) iron is in contact with water, oxygen, or other strong oxidants, or acids, it rusts. If salt is present, for example in seawater or salt spray, the iron tends to rust more quickly, as a result of electrochemical reactions.
 




Concrete
Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement, and water. The aggregate is generally a coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with a fine aggregate such as sand. Concrete has relatively high compressive strength, but much lower tensile strength. For this reason it is usually reinforced with materials that are strong in tension (often steel). Concrete can be damaged by many processes, such as the freezing of trapped water. Concrete is widely used for making architectural structures, foundations, brick/block walls, pavements, bridges/overpasses, motorways/roads, runways, parking structures, dams, pools/reservoirs, pipes, footings for gates, fences and poles and even boats. Concrete can be damaged by many processes, such as the expansion of corrosion products of the steel reinforcement bars, freezing of trapped water, fire or radiant heat, aggregate expansion, sea water effects, bacterial corrosion, leaching, erosion by fast-flowing water, physical damage and chemical damage.

 




Glass
Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material. Glasses are typically brittle and optically transparent. The most familiar type of glass, used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels. Glass is used for architecture application, illumination, electrical transmission, instruments for scientific research, optical instruments, domestic tools and even textiles. Glass does not deteriorate, corrode, stain or fade and therefore is one of the safest packaging materials.

Timber
Timber comes from bark. It is used as a structural material for construction. Finished timber is supplied in standard sizes for construction. Defects in Timber can happen due to the process of converting timber for commercial use. Defects include chip marks or torn grains. If timber has moisture above 25% it will start decaying. However wood submerged in water may not be attacked if the amount of oxygen is inadequate, Insects also can be responsible for the decay of timber. Under proper conditions, timber provides excellent and a long lasting performance
 
 
Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of different crystal forms and/or fragments of marine organisms such as coral. It is used for building material as floors, walls and boundaries. Limestone is a softer stone than granite or marble, it’s not as durable however it can be sealed or treated to prolong the lifespan.
 
 
Terracotta
Terracotta is a type of baked clay that can be glazed or not glazed, its uses include, water and waste water pipes, bricks and surface embellishment in building construction. Terracotta is produced by being moulded into the desired shape after drying in kiln then fired in oven temperatures of 1000 degrees Celsius.

Week 1 - Independent Study

 

Rudin House, designed by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. Constructed between 1996-1997, France. Structurally held by concrete but exhibits a sence of lightness due to the floating design
 
Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for an international exhibition in 1929, Spain. famous for its marble, red onyx and travertine material. Represented the democratic, culturally progressive Germany after WW1.
 
 House at Bordeaux, designed by Rem Koolhaas and constructed between 1994-1998 in France. Designed for easy access to the paralyzed client. Cement, glass and aluminium is used to create an aging facade.

Week 5 - Independant Study

I Have mainly used shadows and placement of objects to strategicially embed my letter and number combination at different scales. I used plant shadows as one of my ways to display the letter/number combination. I also used rocks in natural landscape to display the combinations.

Week 5 - A1 Combination at 5 Scales
