Animation 1 draft

This is a draft of the first animation.

Lumion draft 1

The photos below show images of the model placed in Lumion.

Week 2 - Model on campus (sketchup)

I inserted the bridge onto the model of the campus between the square house and round house, and then adjusted the shape slightly to fit. The photos below show the process of this happening.

Bridge model - first draft

Based on one of the sketches I made in class last week, I created this on SketchUp. The model is a clear/transparent seeming space because I envision it to be made out of glass. The hollow spaces are walking spaces, and the closed areas are rooms.

I then decided to add a space in the model where stairs could be placed, to take you from the bridge on the ground floor to the bridges on the second floor. I created four of these spaces, on both the left and right side of the model, and on both the front and the back of the model. This is shown in the images below.

2 point perpectives

These are this week's drawings. I've taken two designs from last week and redrew them in two-point perspectives.

I created this design with vertical louvers for ventilation, as they are located on the east and west side, to aid with passive housing.

This building/bridge has a glass exterior in many of the spaces with room for greenery, passive solar gains, and aesthetic purposes.

Architectural theory

I read the article "Why Australia needs to join the Passive House movement", an argument I generally agreed with before I began reading. I picked out 3 words from the article that I used to create a theory I believe in:
"comfort", "efficiency", and "significant".

The theory:
Significant improvements in energy efficiency and living comfort would be achieved if passive housing became standardised in Australia, and would have great long term benefits.

This theory begins to answer the question: Why is Passive Housing important for Australian households?

18 sketches - Exp. 3

This week we drew 6 3-dimentional shapes in class, and redrew each shape from two different perspectives.
