18 two point perspectives
Test
This is just a draft.
THE CONCEPT
The fragility in my upper studio is conveyed by the enormity of it, supported by a single beam like zig zag shaped structure. Such a zig zag shape with sharp ends is presented throughout the whole studio. Also, my thoughts as both an engineer and architecture student had influenced my decision to incorporate this into my model as sharp points are a potential point of crack growth, and is where crack growth (if happens) is mostly concentrated. I had further used several rectangular blocks within this structure to emphasize how the little elements all combine to form one element, and simultaneously show that if this upper studio was to break, it would shatter into these elements. I had been keen to use rectangular pieces as I felt they had additionally contributed to the aesthetic realm of my studio. Glass has also been used extensively throughout this studio. The staircase which projects down to the bottom floor helps portray this idea of fragility with its irregularity in shape, and the sense of risk it appears to have with both components of the whole stair meeting at their narrowest pointst. However, with consideration to the scale of the people, this staircase can be utilized. The gallery which is positioned in the ground has curves leeching from its sides. Such curves originate from the bottom studio. The top studio is incorporated with its support attached to the gallery, as well as its staircase. Through this, I hoped to achieve an integration of both studios, in order to metaphorically represent the connection of my ideas. Further, the curved walls presents elements from the bottom studio. The underground studio represents flowing by its overall shape, possessing several curvy features. The stairs which are used are curvy themselves, and flow from one place to another, it is essentially one stair case that takes one to the different parts of the studio. Bansky's studio however possesses some flat elements, such as the floors to give him space to work. Also the translucence of the floor allows him to overlook the pool which is below him. The element of water is representative of fluidy, continuity and flow.
18 SECTIONS
My two selected artists were Muek and Banksy. The words that I had chosen to represent from them had been flowing and fragile respectively. Muek's work to me presented a sense of fragility as he made imitations of real life people, but to a much bigger scale. Their massiveness conveys their inability to move, or even stand - breaking apart quite readily. Banksy through his art conveyed the word flowing to me, as the skeleton on the boat was essentially flowing on water. Also there is also a sense of fluidity in all of his art pieces - he remains consistent with the sense of mystery that is present in all of them, as well as his form of representation - which are mainly wall drawings.
My best piece of Art work
I had constructed a model of a gapped staircase, inspired by my visit to Circular Quay. This particular staircase appealed immensely to me, as I was able to truely see 'urbanization' taking its toll. As I had been progressing up with these stairs, gradually being exposed to different parts of the city - starting from the plain grass on the ground to abundant the effect of urbanization to the former built environment had become more and more evident. Hence this is why in my model there are large hollow frames of different sizes to indicate the different parts of the city I had come to see. I felt that my journey on the stairs metaphorically represented our society's transition due to urbanization.
Photograph
I particular liked this photograpgh of a pleasant looking yellow flower nesting in a rock hill as I felt it had carried metaphorical meaning that this nicest things can often grow in the most unexpected places and hence why it is crucial to hold optimisim. The various rockes each have different textures and tones, and no dount adds to the creation of an effective landscape.
A Great Sight
The 'falling water' by Frank Lyod Wright is a great piece of architecture. It is a three levelled home placed uphill with an incredible water feature. The house stands single handily, utilizing nature in the form of various trees to construct its surroundings. The watter from the waterfall is collected at the bottom of the house, where this catchment appears almost like a river. The interior of the house is also spectacular, with balcony's branching from every level.

My initial blog had been somewhat corrupted, as when I clicked the link of the blog, I had found that some of the stuff that I had uploaded had not loaded at all - it didn't like the idea of change. That is why I resorted into creating a new blog.
