ARCH1101 Combined Axonometrics + Crysis Wars Screenshots + Electroliquid Aggregation + Blackbox Inspiration

3 pairs of axonometrics sketches







2 x Crysis Wars Screenshots

Base of model



Crysis Wars Screenshots




I experimented with the direction of sunlight and time of day to see the effects of the shadow being casted both on the architecture itself and the surrounding environment. I personally prefer the second image due to the way the shadow is being casted within the structure, adding additional texture to the architecture.

Electroliquid Aggregation

Charles Darwin + Stephen Hawking

Science consists of performing experiments and making conclusions based on the results observed. These results are then validated by doing further experiments, because an unexpected result from a new observation will require us to abandon or modify previous conclusions.

Blackbox Inspiration


I chose this image from the Blackbox because it demonstrates the possibility of using shadows to form part of the architecture. The shadows effectively multiplied the number of "people" when viewed from this perspective.

ARCH1101 Draft Sketches

ARCH1101 Client Quotes + Axonometrics Sketches/Crysis Wars

Three Quotes

Client: Nicole Kuepper
Idea: iJET, manufacturing solar cells using ink-jet printers and pizza ovens
Quote: "I love working with passionate people who want to help address climate change and poverty by thinking and experimenting outside the square" - Nicole Kuepper
Source: Deborah Smith, "Thinking outside the square finds light in oven," Sydney Morning Herald, http://www.smh.com.au/news/energy-smart/thinking-outside-the-square-finds-light-in-oven/2008/08/19/1218911717526.html (Accessed 18 April 2010).

Client: Charles Darwin
Idea: The study of evolution by observing similarities of different species
Quote: "Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them" - Charles Darwin

Client: Stephen Hawking
Idea: In July 2004 presented new theory about black holes which goes against his own long-held belief about their behaviour
Quote: "Each time new experiments are observed to agree with the predictions the theory survives, and our confidence in it is increased; but if ever a new observation is found to disagree, we have to abandon or modify the theory" - Stephen Hawkins

Axonometrics Sketches











Crysis Wars Screenshot x 2

The models are based on the following:





The two structures were placed at different locations to experiment with relationship to the surrounding terrains.


On two mountain tops that are similar in shape and size.


On ground level separated by a river.

This view illustrates the connection between each spaces that have evolved from the original sketch. The ladder is the connection between the two artists' workspace; a ladder is chosen as the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.


This view illustrates the relationship between Goodman's workspace and his gallery. The spaces allow him to split his work into two levels so that he can display his work on the same level as Swallow but also have his work within close proximity to his workspace for observation of patrons and inspiration of future work.


This view illustrates the relationship between Swallow's workspace and his gallery. The close proximity allows him to observe the reaction of the patrons and see which of his artwork generates the greatest interest. Furthermore, the translucent panels allows him to observe the artwork being displayed by Goodwin, which can also help him to be inspired by Goodwin's work.

2 pictures from draft #2


This view illustrates the original concept of small stairs for Swallow as his work tend to be of a smaller scale.


This view illustrates the original concept of a ramp leading up to the ground level to allow room to transport Goodwin's larger works.

2 pictures from draft #1


This view illustrates the concept of one workspace being directly below the other workspace.


This view illustrates the layers of the architecture being workspace/gallery/workspace.
