ARCH1142 Workshop 5- Storyboarding Re-representing Representations

START OF ARCH1142- ARCHITECTURAL COMMUNICATIONS BLOG

Hi to all!

Semester one of first year has now ended and so this calls to the end of blogging for ARCH1101- Design Studio 1, but it is not the end of my blogging at all. There is more to come from the new course ARCH1142- Architectural Communications, so stay tuned for some progress works and resolved projects!

P.S. I apologise if the blog entry title seems to scream at you, had to make a distinct line of progression between the two courses.

ARCH1101 Elevator Controls

The following are the controls for the elevator, please follow religiously when on board the elevator.

Kerr's Elevator

P= Elevator platform down to the valley floor and returns the platform into the elevator

L= Elevator rail down with the platform

U= Move the platform out of the elevator

O= Moves the elevator back up

K= Moves the elevator rail back up

Note:

-When moving the elevator down to the valley press P and L together to move the rail and the elevator together.

-Same thing with moving up to the office press O and K together.

-When moving the platform back into the elevator make sure to press P so that all the components of the elevators will only take one pathway to go back up to the office.

Keller's Elevator

Q= Moves the guide rails into place

Y= Moves the platform down

J= Moves the guide rails down with the platform

T= Moves the platform back up

H= Moves the guide rails back to its initial position

Note:

-Make sure the character is in the middle of the circular platform before pressing Q.

-To move the lift down to the valley floor press Y and J together.

-To move the lift back up to the office press T and H together.

ARCH1101 5 Real Time Image Captures

The image captures above encapsulate the idea that power is something that mimics in order to gain authority over others and thus always results with a response. The response to power is very much dependent on one's perspective. With these images it can be drawn that the overall angular build of the bridge adapts into the rough appearance of the Australian Red Centre. Despite this, power does not necessarily mimic to conform but can make a statement, much like the "radical" choice of exterior cladding materials which do not respond well to the harsh environment of the site.

This image is the interior of Kerr's headquarters in the bridge and spans up for 3 levels, claiming more than two thirds of the length of the bridge. This was intentionally done as to reflect her fame in the fashion industry and maximise the space so that it allows for Kerr to be displayed whenever and wherever she is on the bridge. Thus the concept behind this space is that power is very influential though very much dependent on reputation.

This image capture is the interior of Keller's bridge and as seen from the images of the overall bridge the exterior of the space is plain and undecorated. The plain exterior in contrast with the rich interior was the intention so as to demonstrate that power is something that can be hidden. In Keller's case it was her potential and unrelenting aspiration to change society's perspective of her disability and personality. The encased office space intends for a nurturing and inspiring learning space for Keller's students, demonstrating that use of power can have a positive impact thus be infectious.

This image capture is of the dining table for Kerr and Keller's collaborations. The location's drastic change from the overall effect of the bridge above symbolises the transition of the two clients' respective unchallenged power into a space that places them both in level ground. The contrast in colour and form of the table and the environment, recognises that power is something that is distinctive and in rare occasions something undiscovered at the same time. The table and its location synthesises all these ideas concerning power and accommodates for the needs and personalities of the clients.Kerr's side is on the left of the table and revolves around her reputation as a model hence the platform-like form of her space to display her power. Keller's side is on the right, in which her table and chair collaboratively protects her fragile state.
