Arch 1101_ Brian Cheung Tik Pong

ARCH1101_Brian Cheung

This is the artwork which created in my high school. The artwork were built for an inter-school singing competition. I created this artwork with my friends, we created a train and telephone box in order to create a feeling of starting a journey ,which matching the theme "voyage". These are basically built by L-shaped iron, corrugated fibreboard and paint. It took about two whole weeks to finish it.

St. Mary Cathedral are built by Kenzo Tange in 1964. It is one of the finest architecture in Japan. As we see from the front elevation of the architecture, you wont believe it is a cathedral because it looks like a modern shopping mall or office centre. I think this architecture is a great piece of architecture not only because of the gorgeous shape but also the idea of the design which breaks the traditional thought of a cathedral. (It located in japan is also one of the reason. ;p)

This is the picture taken in the summer break of 2017 while i was travelling Dazaifu. This starbucks is built by Kengo Kuma which is located in the main street leading up to a famous shrine. I was impressed by the design of cafe because it looked very unique while i saw there is a modern design in between lots of traditional japanese-style store. The entrance of the cafe looks like made up of some messy thin woods but they are actually packed with a unique pattern and angle. The interior looks bright as two ends of the store are made up of glass and the atmosphere feels relaxing.

3D model (draft)

Draft 1 (chosen)

word: curve(left), stack(right)

For the left one, i am planning to use metal to construct the helix hollow and metal bar. Inside the sphere there is a glass layer in order to have a bright space inside the workplace. For the right one because it is underground, so the interior material i am planning to use wood in order to having a warm and natural feeling. 

word: curve(left), stack(right)
I am planning to use some soft material to construct the left stair and using plastic to construct the handrail. Due to the complex curve, i am planning to use some silvery metals such as aluminium or chromium coating metal to build the right stair.

Draft 2

Section of developed stair

 

Developed 

The building is sitting on a cliff and facing the ocean. Two sphere and the cylinder shaped areas are the workplace of Issey Miyake. The material of the building mostly are glass and metal, so that Miyake can enjoy the sea view for relaxing or getting inspiration for his artwork.



Giant dome on the ground floor is the showroom for two clients. The huge spatial area can provide a lot of space to place their artwork as their artworks are quite big. The dome is capable to suit more visitors. The V-shaped are a part of the underground workshop of Louise Bourgeois.



The stair to Miyake's workplace is a curved stair which also provide a slope for him to transfer his artwork to ground floor.



In order to go underground to Louise workplace, people must through the stair from ground floor which created by stacking several triangles. Besides, the structure of underground is stacking a V-shaped and X-shaped floor. It is important to note that the workplace are the lowest level which is the corridor of  he entire X-shaped floor. It is a private space for Louise to work. The corridor are wider than the others, so Louise can put his model along the sides of the corridor.

Animation 3 shows the top view section of different levels of the building. First of all, it is the first floor section cut which shows two path way from platform to spheres. And then, it is the section cut of ground floor showing the plan of the showroom. Moreover, the rest of the video focus on the  underground workplace by showing the circulation of the stair to underground, V- shaped floor and X-shaped floor.


Here is url below direct to my model. As in the model size is larger than 50 MB and i cannot upload to 3d warehouse, so i use google drive instead.
