REFLECTION
The project so far is coming together nicely. The development of ideas, creatures, dwellings and terrain are all in line to what I have envisioned with reflection to my selected architect Zaha Hadid.
Highlights of design process;
Folded Paper - An arduous task due to its nature of folding to create architecture that represent somewhat Hadid's work was almost impossible. I eventually looked at what I have experienced with folding paper and then worked around it, creating something close to the architect's design such as the 'Vitra Fire Station' with its sharp lines and contrasting awning and it worked....I think!
Creatures - In developing the creatures, I first looked at the possible environments that creatures could or would thrive in and then use Hadid's work to inspire a creature.
Environments - Ideas of the terrain came from the narrative of the creatures; Scaley thriving in hot and arid environment = desert or grand canyon, Slugger = Amazon or tropical areas. Simple sketches were created to bring forth the desired landscape that is surreal in retrospect to Hadid's work.
Dwelling - Minor changes with mostly additions to living spaces and comfort were made upon receiving advise from Matt (Tutor). As the folded paper already represented a passable dwelling in its own form, all is needed was to modify spaces uniquely inline to Hadid's work.
Major Change - There is however one change that I needed to make which I did not foresee after speaking to Matt. Upon developing the digital landscape on 3ds max, I found that scaleys world would better fit with Slugger's dwelling. Hence I have decided to swap the dwellings between the two clients.
AR/Markers - Dwelling works but have not tried animation yet, and require 2 more markers which I have not yet decided upon.
