Final Presentation

Below is our groups final presentation. I used prezi to pull all the images together into a presentation and we all presented this. The presentation went really well and we received some really good feedback. The physical model helped alot with describing the building. However apparently our 3D drawings felt a bit cold and our sections need slightly more detail. It was alos suggested that in future instead of skimming over the tectonic details of how it all works, we give it slightly more thought and incorporate this into the design and presentation.Overall however the feedback was good and we all thought about how to improve our designs in future. This presentation has further taught me how to approach group work as well as further developing my revit and photoshopping skills. Working within a group meant that ideas and program knowledge was shared around, thus allowing everyone to further develope their skills. I also learnt how to tactfully make sure that everyone has a say in the group and learnt that with group work you can't always do things exactly as you want to but sometimes have to compromise, and that this doesn't necessarily damage your assignment, instead it furthers it and enables new ideas to be used in the design.

Panel for Presentation

This panel was pulled together using all of our drawings originally by Joel but then he met up with us so that we could help him and have imput. We used photoshop in order to pull this together as we all have knowledge with this program and find it easy to use. I feel that it successfully summarises our project.

Sections

These are the sections which Mariana did up from Joel's elevation which he did in autoCAD.
This is a North section of the building with two seperate performances going on while the building is still together.

Below is a section showing the general performance space becoming seating for an aerial silks performance.

Below is a section showing two performances occuring at the same time, with the building apart and open. In this image it can be seen how a new space is created when the spaces are apart.

Below is a West section looking into the general performance space.

Trying to Render Up the 3D Images

I started trying to render up the 3D images that I took off of my revit model into photoshop. I got Mariana to help me with some of the photoshopping tools in order to create these images to help them look more finished. Below are some pictures of it.
This image looks straight through from the entrance, through the foyer and cafe to the river.

Below is an image showing the building from the North West corner.

Below is an external image from the South West corner.

Below is an internal image looking down into the cafe and foyer space. Mariana rendered this image and I helped to complete it as we had issue with making it look right and tying in with the other 3D images.

Rendering Elevations and Creating Revit Model

Joel did up some basic elevations and sections in autoCAD and mariana rendered them and I helped her, while I did up a revit model to help us with our 3D internal views and exterior views with help from mariana.
Below are the rendered elevations and sections:

Site Plan and Site Analysis

Mariana and I worked together to create the site plan and site analysis using photos and editing these in photoshop in order to show an analysis of the site, and site plan which also shows some materiality of our building placed in the site. We used the site plan below as inspiration:

Model Making

Mariana and I took on the big task of constructing a physical model together. For this we constructed a landscape out of paper mache before constructing two intricate models demonstrating the building in both the open and closed positions. We used card and balsa wood for these two models in order to give an idea of materiality.
Below are some pictures  of mariana and I working on the paper mache landscape base of the model.

Below is an image of the model coming together it shows the landscape

Below are a couple of images of our finished model, some have been edited, while others we are currently working on:

Detailed Section Inspiration

I found this picture online and posted it to the group facebook page as I feel that we should do a similar detailed section like this as it is clean,easy to read and expressive of the spaces.

Inserting the Folie Into the Site

Below is an image showing where our six sections cut through the site.

Because I was doing the 6 little sections I situated the building so that I knew where to cut through it. It is situated approx 12m from the start of the boardwalk. Below are some pictures of how I placed it.

Mariana then did one section through the building while I did the other. We worked off a basic CAD section of the site that Joel gave us. 

On the top picture, the top section is right, while on the bottom picture, the bottom section is right. From these I had an idea as to how to photoshop these sections. I thought of photoshoping textures into the drawing. I did three sections like this and Mariana did three in the same style. These are the three I rendered in this style. I feel that this style worked and I am glad that I suggested it.
