WEEK 4 - DEVELOPED SKETCHUP MODEL
Original sketch:
Unstable-Extraordinary
The 'unstable' building was constructed using white concrete walls, blue glass and timber. Timber has been used to give the building more complexity and detail through the addition of the timber balcony with the glass opening on the left. Also, timber was used to add some edginess in the middle of the building where there are some benches and a staircase which leads to the exhibition space. Some concrete blocks and glass blocks pop out of the building which gives it more texture and sharpness. The stairs are also made of alternating concrete and glass blocks which continue the theme of the building. Furthermore, this highlights CJ Hendry's bold, edgy and sharp work through the refined and polished look of this building. CJ's super-realistic rendering of objects using a pen is further conveyed through the texture used on the faces of the building which add to her edginess.
The 'Extraordinary' building was constructed using white concrete and black glass. The building gives the illusion that there are many spheres joined together to make that shape. Furthermore, the building mainly consists of black glass which thus gives the workspace a lot of open space. The thin, white vertical concrete walls that go all around the building gives it a flawless finish which reflects the pristine of Gucci and how sophisticated and different they are from the ordinary. Also, the fact that this building is on a cliff further gives it that extra edge to show how unique Gucci is for their very phenomenal designs and products. Thus, the overall building reflects the elegance and beauty of the Gucci brand.

WEEK 3 - BUILDING INSPIRATION
CJ Hendry's Workspace Inspiration:
My 'unstable' building design for CJ Hendry's artwork "New Playing Card Series" is inspired by very geometric architecture such as the Sirius building in Sydney. It was designed by the architect Tao Gofers. This building is truely amazing and is a beautiful piece of architecture.

Gucci" Workspace Inspiration:
My 'Extraordinary' building design for Gucci's 'GG Loved Velvet Bag' is inspired by spherical architecture such as the Al Dar Headquarters building in Abu Dhabi. It was designed by MZ Architects. This building is very amazing and gorgeous due to its illusion of it being a coin standing on its edges. Furthermore, I was inspired by the building mostly made out of glass and only small stripes of walls just like my own building.

WEEK 3 - STAIR INSPIRATION VIDEO
Below are some videos of stairs that I inspired me to make mine. They are very unique and different.
WEEK 3 - TEXTURES ON MODEL
My final SketchUp model is based on the following section:

CJ Hendry's New Playing Card Series artwork:

View of artwork from far away, showing the building, columns holding building up and stairs.
The building's exterior front and back walls as well as some of the interior walls of the building have a 'thin' texture which thus help the white concrete blocks and glass blocks that pop out of the building be emphasised more and become much more visible. Furthermore it further conveys CJ Hendry's sharp edge and scrunched up look in her artwork.
Thin
The columns which hold up the building show a contrast to the architecture of the actual building which thus portrays CJ Hendry's sharp but very refined work. The columns have a 'mesh' texture which helps to emphasise the structure of the column and their necessity in holding up the building.

Gucci's GG Loved Velvet Bag:

The Building's exterior and some interior floors have the 'thick' texture which helps to accentuate Gucci's refined and prestige. As the actual walls of this building are very thin due to the windows taking over most of the space, this texture allows for the building to be more emphasised and visible.

WEEK 2 - THE STAIR MODEL
I have now started to model my sketches on sketchup. They do not look exactly like my sketches but that is to be expected as you are modelling. The sections I have chosen to model for my final submission reflect the words "unstable" (for CJ Hendry's workshop) and "extraordinary"(for Gucci's workshop). The sketch is seen below,
Unstable-Extraordinary
'UNSTABLE' WORKSHOP SPACE:
The stair I chose to use for CJ Hendry's workshop is stair four. This stair works very well with my sketch as it continues the 'block' design which is clearly seen in the building's structure. This further portrays the instability and unrefined style in CJ's "New Playing Card Series"collection. The material choice of alternating white concrete and glass blocks further showcases the sharpness and edginess in CJ Hendry's work. Furthermore, these stairs start from a top level in the building and continue down until they reach the exhibition space on the ground, thus connecting the two spaces together.

'EXTRAORDINARY' WORKSHOP SPACE:
I chose stair one to use for the Gucci workshop space due to its pristine and polished look. This stair clearly suits the workshop space I have designed and created due to its spiral style as it continues the 'circular' motion seen in the building's design. This refined stair reflects the elegance of the 'GG Loved velvet bag'. The material choice of this spiral stair is white concrete which gives it a graceful and polished look and thus portrays the sophistication of the Gucci brand. Furthermore, the stairs start from the bottom of the building at the bottom of the cliff and go up all the way to the top of the building and out a doorway and finally end at the exhibition space on the ground, thus connecting both spaces.
