component 2 part 2

I placed these coloured blocks in a random format and took pictures from all side the views

I was able to reduce the brightness of the picture and use red to draw the outline as well as grey for the more specific details on the blocks , which were mostly straight lines

Then I separated the outline sketch from the image

The blocks were only squares and rectangles so it was easy to create a simple structure by placing them in different ways

The grey lines I added were to show which way the blocks were placed and they can be transformed into different details like windows

I really like this structure and will probably develop it further into a more detailed building

The structure will consist of overlapping blocks that show the first second and third floors

Reducing the brightness of the image allowed me to see the red outline so that I could redraw it separately

After using the orange peels, I slightly opened the orange, not fully, so I could achieve this flower shape

These are pictures of the same shape but from different sides

I sketched the outline of the shape and then added more of the details

Then I made the lines straighter and added more depth to make it look more three dimensional

Then by adding a darker shade to the faces of the pieces that I considered were facing the front and a lighter shade to the rest, has created a more complete version of the design

Plan view

Using card I created this model inspired by the images of the lotus flowers

Thie building looks a lot like a lotus flower

Parts of the structure look like the petals

And the land area around the structure resembles the leaf on which the lotus flower sits

Then I sketched it and added more components

Experimenting this way I was able to transform the card model sketch into an actual structure which could also be a pavilion

The Lotus Temple New Delhi, India

The temple has a diameter of 70 meters

27 free-standing marble-clad "petals" arranged in clusters of three to form nine sides

The temple's shape has symbolic and interreligious significance

The temple is surrounded by water that is placed is a flower shaped exterior so that it correlates with the structure itself

The lotus is often associated with purity, sacredness, spirituality, and knowledge

The photos of theses sides were taken from a different point of view therefore the pieces of orange look a bit more different than the other two pictures

The outline for both of the pictures looked quite similar

Adding more detail to the sketch helped to discover the potential parts that could be added in the structure

I tried to make them a bit different by experimenting with adding extra lines and making them look more three dimensional

I added colour to have a different perspective of the sketches

This side had a lot more pieces that were longer and it contained more rectangular shapes

I think that this sketch looks the most intriguing for the structure that I will be designing

This is a picture from the other side of the arrangement

This is the last side that I took a picture of

I made the curved outline more straight to make it more easier to make it into a building

This side of the structure is very interesting as the parts overlap each other and create this puzzling look

Using the peels of an orange, I dropped them on a table and it created this placement where I was able to draw the outline and come up with a new structure

I took a new picture of one of the side so I could get a better understanding of how the new structure could look like

Crystals research

Crystals have a very unusual, abstract shape that are quite interesting models for building a structure

Crystals consist of geometric shapes therefore it will be easier to recreate a building

Using triangles like in this picture I can overlap them and create a pavilion

The Kinémax by Denis Laming

The Kinémax pavilion was designed in 1987 by Denis Laming and takes the shape of a gigantic quartz crystal

The design inspired from crystals has made this building more diverse from any other buildings

architect David Joulin reworked the interior spaces in such a way as to echo the building’s exterior envelope.

The interior corralates with the exterior as they are both made from similar shapes and designs which are supposed to be inspired from crystals

I made my building out of card

Then I drew out the outline of this side view to get a better understanding of how it should be built

The design will have parts that will be glass so that the sun can enter and give natural lighting inside

The plan view looks quite simple but very symmetrical

The tube will covered the the sides will be from glass so it will be able to be seen

The tube inside connects the two building together so people can walk through there

Glass

A sustainable material

Have to be at least 1500 acres which means 6 km for an airport

Runways tend to be vary between 50 and, maybe 200 feet wide.

an ordinary commercial airline plane would be roughly 40-50 meters (130-160 feet)

Runway has to be at least 1.8 km

45 m wide, 3000m long , 20m tall

Extra information

Public space design

I did some research on public space design so I could get some inspiration for the surrounding area of the airport building

I want to keep using simple geometric shapes in order to create overlapping designs to also give a sense of dimension

I sketched out the outline of the land area I will be using

I decided to firstly place the airport building and then work around it

I then realised that there should also be a parking so that people would be able to leave their cars so I designed a simple parking near to the main road and main entrance to the land area

Then I drew out the runways and I didn’t want to make it to a simple straight line so I made them more curvy except for the end bit where the airplanes have to take off

The public space designs helped me decide that I want to stay with the triangular shapes to create the greedy bit around the runways to also help make it look more interesting when seen from a plan view

There will also be specific drawn out areas infront of the building where the airplanes would be placed

After I added some colour to help figure out how the outcome will look like

The greenery will have smaller pieces that will overlap and some will have flowers to give it more colour and dimension

The airport will be made from sustainable materials and have a lot of natural lighting

The parking is very simple since it’s multiple hexagons of different sizes but the interior is even more simple since it would be squares where people would be able to park

There would be a main road which leads firstly to the parking and then the airport

It will be an interesting design seen from a plan view

Parking design

The parking is designed to look like a hexagon on the exterior byut the interior is just a square where it will be marked with parking spaces and it will have ramps inside to connect the different levels

The parking has a very simple design of different sized hexagons

I wanted to keep the design simple because I didn’t want it to take away from the main building which is the airport

Laser cutting

I laser cut the hexagons out of MDF and the exterior walls out of acrylic to be able to look through it

I used the glue gun to stick them together and then placed them in ascending order going in a curved manner

I chose laser cutting since it can cut complex shapes with precise detail

The interior is divided into several components

Hexagonal architecture Layered architecture

I hand cut shapes, mostly triangles, out of card and used the method of overlapping to create the area around the model

I also added some small people and trees to help with the scale

I

The rectangles near the model are for the airplanes to be placed there and then move off to the runways which are positioned right behind I tried to keep and add as much greenery as I could so that it would make the area look more sustainable and clean
