Massing update for Monday and Wednesday



when i was designing my massing on Monday i was unable to post because i lost my work , but i didn't like the design anyway. i started with this new design base off of a cars "turbo" , which forces more air in to the motor , more air more power. 




I took that design and started to more the curves in a turning style in order for me to show movement in the massing.







The last design is something that i started new but it has some of the same ideas as my last post. I wanted to keep working on the old design idea because  i agree with everyone's ideas .What i did differently this time was show that people can go outside and enjoy the view. Everything that is red are space, the top is a exhibition space and the bottom is class room and restaurants. The picture below shows the spaces the best, the blue area is the massing.I will keep working on the massing and making a suitable entrance for the design.

Rhino Massing






This is the massing i have been working on since my last post but i will be changing the massing of the building .The reason i want to change the massing is because i want my building to not feel caped in a mass i would like the massing to flow along the space , this would make more people want to visit my site.

Rhino Model




This is the starting stages of my design , the spaces that are not name are still the same as the model also the size of things is not set in stone . As you can see my model is showing movement with the curved ramps , in a way it reminds me of my previous post about the Ferrari enzo f140 motor how everything is interlocking with one another. While talking to the professor today she brought up a good point about what your building entrance will be know for ( ex- liberty have big stairs ) so we started talk and i decided to make a tunnel style entrance where the user can walk throw or go in to the car museum. The picture at the bottom is the closest thing i can find to something that i want to do. The tunnel will be a part of the building massing. The next step is creating a massing that flow along the curved ramps showing movement and a turning motion.


Inspiration For Model




While thinking about how to make my model i found some pictures on line that give me some inspiration on how to start , the first picture is the inside of a Ferrari Enzo F140 motor. The reason i pick this pictures is because i like the way everything is interlocking with one another in order for it to make the motor work, just like a building should. The motor also show movement which is something that i want to be represented in my model like my other post. The other picture are of a Termini Station in Baths of Diocletian, Rome, Italy, it is a parking lot that is mainly design for scooters. I like the way this was design because of how scooter friendly it is , you also have this creative way on how to enter the building . i will be using these ideas in my model. link to the termini project http://www.aasarchitecture.com/2014/03/Motorino-Checkpoint-competition-by-JGCH.html

Hybrid Model on Site

When i was working on my hybrid model i decided to make some changes in order for my model to fit on my site. While making these changes i still had the idea of movement in mind. I didn't want to make movement as obvious as i did before, so i started to think of different form of movement and i stated to study a watch. The way a watch work is almost like a car, there are a lot of moving part but if one fail or is removed the system will most likely fail.
