Exercise 2 - CRYENGINE3 ENVIRONMENT

Image One - Depicts the relationship of the building with the surrounding environment. The end result was combined with two axonometrics from 'Neri Oxman Prisms'

Image Two - Shows a different angle of the monument to correlate with the surrounding.

Image Three - Depicts the relations ship between both monuments. Between the two monuments there is a subtle hierarchy.

Image Four - Another image of the relationship between the monuments

Image Five - Stand alone photo of the second monument. Combined from two axonometrics from the 'Enrich Mendelson Prisms'

Exercise 2 - Electroliquid Aggregation

Draw a series of 3 parallel projections exploring the interconnection between pairs of your drawings
Axonometric top row - Use of the combined prisms to create a fluid shape.
Axonometric middle row - Use of multiple prisms to create a variety of shapes.
Axonometric bottom row - Creating a bulk building out of the combined sources.

Exercise 2 - Erich Mendelson Axonometrics

Draw a series of 6 axonometrics exploring the amalgamation of 5 rectangular prisms
Organic and fluid forms
Axonometric top row - Use of organic, fluid shapes
Axonometric middle row - Use of stable buildings in the surround environment
Axonometric bottom row - Use of staggering effect to interact with surrounds

Exercise 2 - Neri Oxman Axonometrics

Draw a series of 6 axonometrics exploring the amalgamation of 5 rectangular prisms
Change the world by proving how technology and systems learn from nature.
Axonometric top row - Use of open areas to interact with natural surroundings
Axonometric middle row - Use of enclosing areas to interact with natural surroundings
Axonometric bottom row - Use of staggering effect to interact with surrounds

Exercise 2 - 5 Concepts

Five Concepts
Collate 5 Concepts relating to each of the two chosen Architects.
Neri Oxman
1. ‘To change the world by proving how technology can live in harmony with nature.’
2. ‘Looks to nature for practical design answers.’
3. Best known for her work in environmental design and digital morphogenesis.
4. “Forget about the way it looks, think about how it behaves.”
5. Complex recipe of design, science, art, and environmentalism.

Enrich Mendelson
1. Known for his expressionist architecture in the 1920s. As well as for developing a dynamic functionalism in his projects for department stores.
2. Expressionist architect. Not intellectual.
3. Work encapsulated the consumerism.
4. Symbolised freedom of thinking.
5. Pioneer – Refused to conform.
6. Organic, fluid.
