Week 3 - Developed Light Rail Stop
"People can inhabit anything as they can be miserable in anything or ecstatic in anything; their kind of paradise which is the ultimate goal of architecture to create for them."
- Rem Koolhaas & Alvaar Alto
 |
| The experience of waiting for a train is not normally expected to be pleasant, however this paradise-like design makes it something to look forward to, shown by the lounge-like seats and benches around a water fountain. |
 |
| The notion of "people inhabiting anything" is clear through the fact that people can reside in these simple blob structures. |
 |
 |
| This paradise-like design allows people to experience it in different ways "as they can be miserable... or ecstatic."

Week 4 - Animations
A short video summing up the composition of my Building.
The composition of the Jeff's Motorcycle studio.
The composition of Givenchy's studio
Week 4 - Developed Sketchup Model
 |
| Strut-Crude |
 |
| The walls are constructed of rough white concrete to build on the harshness of the idea of "Strut." The staircase travelling up to the Strut building is made of wood and the windows of this building are made of glass. The Crude structure is made of thick black leather to make it seem like it's the thick rubber of a tyre. The ramp/ stair inside this building is made of steel to look like the rims of a wheel. |
