Burlap - Overlapping Curves (Site Impression)
For this design I wanted to emphasize my experience I felt visiting the site. The breeze and rolling waves of the East River gave me the feeling of fluid motion and free-flowing curves which I represented through this model. The semi-transparency of burlap was a study of material that would produce a similar transparency effect but would be more suitable for construction.
Gold Foil Paper - Radial Motion (Site Impression)
This study of curvilinear forms free moving with one another to create potential spaces, views, and visual experiences was another effect felt from visiting the site. I wanted to study a material that had similar properties as an actual material and could be used on an architectural structure. The reflectance, color, and texture on this material was something I planned on incorporating into some aspect of my shopping center.
Plastic Wrap - Organic Form (Site Impression)
The transparency of the plastic highlighted with a different color was an effect that I felt captured the flowing motion of wind and water of the site and was a material that could be potentially used to visually draw the attention of visitors and spatially create an intriguing experience. The transparency allows us to see through layer after later and the resulting effect of form and color overlapping within one another.
Construction Paper - Polygonal Forms (Program Concept)
The hexagonal forms compiled together to create an organic form the idea of creating a larger whole from smaller components, the same concept I had for the program analysis of my shopping center. The center will be comprised of large anchor stores, moderate and smaller sized stores, restaurants, and facilities all combined together to form the entirety of the shopping center. Each program has its place, not one space will be secluded from the rest, they all come together to create the atmosphere and experience felt both on the outside and inside of the shopping center.
Basswood - Triangle Compilation (Program Concept)
The
idea of compiling triangles together to create a larger form was another representation of my program concept of individual spaces serving different purposes put together to form one complete shopping center. The triangle was used to study another polygonal shape to create a more rigid, solid that was a less organic, flowing form.
Plaster - Shapes (Program Concept)
Another study of a larger form created by a combination of smaller individual parts, each having its own distinct purpose in the overall design.
