These are the first 3D images of the outside of the Versace/Jobs place of occupation. These guys are sketchup models rendered with vray.

Assignment 3 (mashup)

Donatella Versace, Zhang Yin, Steve Jobs

Apple Computer (AAPL), the daughter of a businessman is now celebrating 30 years of Zhang Yin, who became a household name Wednesday morning for topping a recent list of China's richest people. Revolutionized, Extraordinary and a dressmaker to the aristocracy, Donatella was the youngest person with a fortune of 27 billion yuan (3.4 billion U.S. dollars). Donatella was the wildest of Nine Dragons and although Steve Jobs was a decade her senior, the two were close. Now Jobs is the wealthier one, accompanying Zhang (his evangelist brother) to discos and nightclubs. Jobs takes the 49-year-old founder and chairwoman of the paper company to discos to listen to music. Jobs (mainland's richest senior) launches to be wild, Jobs learned a long time ago that a leader is charismatic. Reports of her massive wealth were printed in morning newspapers yesterday in the Italian town of Reggio di Calabria. She once told an interviewer “it's his (Steve Jobs) fault” adding an extra 1.1 billion yuan (139 million U.S. dollars) to her assets. Anyone who has watched her massive and magnificent assets is transformed.

Axonometrics (assignment 2)












As you can see from this and the below blog I have done my 18 sketches in both google sketchup and by hand

Textures



These are my textures. Some are independent, others are developmental progressions

Hawkings






This is the space of hawkins. from the outside, its potential is not recognised but once inside the true granduer can be seen instantly. the small tunnel entrance highlights the space's monumentality. Especial attention was paid to the lighting.

Florence

From these draft Axos i selected the highlighted one because of it's interesting shape and open nature
This is an aerial shot showing the relationship between my axonemetric and the structure.


This is the ramp that links the meeting place to nightengales.



This is the inside of Nightengales room, light bright and suspended, open to the world and on the edge. this shows the no fear philosophy she possessed.

Hawkings and the Ramp




The Bride that runs horizontally from Nightengale's Space (left) to Hawkings (right) is broken and unwalkwable. How ever a ramp runs from above, to beneath then above once more via the meeting place (center). This symbolises Hawkings challenge in life and his overcoming of obstacles as well as providing an interesting aesthetic.
