Precedent study

1)  A brief outline of Project 1 : What was your chosen architecture? What were the concepts unpacked in your concept model? 

My chosen architecture for project 1 was Maggies Centre Fife by Zaha Hadid. The concepts i have chosen were movement and rotation. I looked at the building in a different way to help me end up with those two concepts. The building has sharp edges so I looked at the end points of those edges and saw that it was stretched and rotated.


2)  An visual analysis of 2x precedents studies as a pair : One from your project one architect, another from an architect of your own choosing. How are they conceptually similar to project 1?




3)  A design proposal and design draft for assignment 3 : List three specific building types and functions for your new design. How can they challenge the concepts and ideas you have looked at in Project 1? Select one and begin a first design draft.

- Car showroom 

- Shopping Mall

- Airport 



4)  A Short Description on your Prescribed Additional Representation : What is the relevance of the technology you have selected to the nature of your design? What kinds of techniques and processes would you use from this technology in order to engage with the design of your architectural solution?

The representation i will use in this assignment will be mainly Cryengine 3. This is because my two concepts are movement and rotation which can be easily shown using a real time interactive environments like Cryengine. I can also show those concepts in a more simple and efficient way. I will be using 3D max for my modeling.
