A Grotesque Portrait of The Institute

Green office

Adding more green area into the office. The green ramp extends from the exterior into the interior to become the table. Playing on the levels and space of the building.
Texture created using alpha chanel. Using relative images from the journal.
A title "Green Building" added.

Green office

starting with building up a semi-enclosed space, which allows better air circulation and interaction between the internal and external area.
Extending the "green area" into the interior space to create ambiguity of whats is inside and what is outside.














two office areas both partially enclosed.

Starting to build my office

I have edited a new script to prompt an avatar to load a URL in a web browser, when an avatar is near by (with in 5 metres) my object. This URL links to my blog so that it's easier for people to understand my concepts and process.





























Texture (updating shortly)
I want to bring in the idea of nature to my office (relating to my first jounal, "Green Building"), to create an ambiguous space where the exterior environment is merged into the interior building, so I'm starting to create textures that involves grass, leaves, plants ect.















Alpha Channel: How transparent the pixel is of the image.
Using alpha channel to blend two layers of images and selecting "needed regions" of the image.

Journals

An introduction to the three jounals that I'm studying recently =)

1.Green Building Magazine (Building for a Future)
http://www.buildingforafuture.co.uk/

"The Green Man House"
-Some useful, practical and honest information regarding sustainable and healthy building.
-Reducing carbon footprint by building low energy houses, which require as little energy as possible to heat
-Buildings that satisfies both aesthetics and needs.
-Creating houses with good insulation, air tightness, solar water heating and a ventilation system with heat recovery, as well as correctly orientating and designing the houses to take advantage of the warmth of the sun.
-Aiming for very low insulation values and a very airtight structure.

2. Journal of Architecture
http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t713703437

"The virtual city:perspectives on the dystopic cybercity"
-3D computer modelling is increasing relied upon as a decision-making tool in the visualisation of urban infrastructure by architects.
-3D computer generated geometry relies on perspective and its derivatives, isometry and axonometry, to provide illusion of spatial depth.

3. TOPOs : European Landscape Magazine
http://www.topos.de/

"Landscape Architecture in Germany"
-Design of public and private open spaces and large scale urban planning projects as well as aspects of nature consevation and landscape planning.
-Design of private gardens, public spaces in the urban realm.
-Landscape architects are responsible for the design of public open spaces, parks and gardens, while the field of landscape and environment planning, as well as the development and design of large-scale landscapes.
-The importance of combining architecture and its surounded area.

Concepts and ideas

I'm starting to create spaces using simple, basic forms. Its quite intersting to see how the object can be manipulated differently depending on its texture and properties.
I've created a image board with my own texture created using alpha chanel and offset filter.
Adding a script to the object to create a hovering text .











Glowing, twisted object.
