Stair Sketch up

STAIR 1
Steel and Wire stairs
I like how it is floating allows more space in 
 small area 


                                                                            STAIR 2
Antonio Stradivari these stairs are inspired
by the his use of wood
the steel tops are like the wires on the violin

STAIRS

Stair 1
Material: Steel 
I like these stairs because it gives of 
a floaty feel but still masculine because of the
 material it is made out of.



   Stair 2:
Material: Wood and steel 
The top plates are metal and the bottom part is wood
 I like how wood and metal contrasts against each other


Stair 2:
Material: Steel
Reminds me of a Pyramid this stair allows the
 person to go in both directions


Stair 4:
Material: wood 
The shape is inspired by the violin as it 
emphasises the curves of the wood

SKETCHUP

Sketch up 8
These are soem images of my sketch up, it was more about learning how to use sketch up rather then making the actual thing so probably next lesson ill be making a better design









Sketches



Image 1
Word: Soft and Speeding
The image drawn are circles which i thought was
 round and soft although it could represent stone
 textures 






Image 2

Word: Masculine and Shell
Image 2 is drawn to show the masculinity through
 harsh lines i like these harsh lines how they overlap 
each other and look like a messed up pattern 
 the shell drawn reminds me of an 
organism living and breathing






Image 3
Word: Engine and Hide
The engine drawn reminds me of like a piano due to 
the wire like strings on the end could be
 useful for the light stairs. the image below is like 
sections curved and overlapping thus hiding soem 
areas of the sketch (underground layers and levels)






Image 4

Word: Soft and Engine 
I like this sketch a lot because of the below
 ground leveli liek the geometric shapes that create
 this illusion kinda feel. the swirls on
 top looks thin n fragile



Image 5

Word: Shell and Masculine
I like this drawing because i can imagine what i am doing
the top level can be in a shape of a gem
and the bottom is masculine hard shapes
 with industrial material




Image 6

Word: Speeding and hide
The sharp upside down spikes create a sense of movement
and the pattern below it creates little compartments
 like hiding spots





Image 7

Word: Engine and Shell
When i think of an engine i think of circuits and lines
going in different directions
the word shell is inspired by the interior structure of the
form swirls




Image 8

Word: Shell and Engine
The shell is inspired by the arc shapes and
I added different layers to show the walls
the engine is again masculine with hard structures
to show the interlocking of the materials



Image 9

Word: Hide and Engine
The hide aspect of the image can be seen through
the walls closing off the inner sections
like it is protecting it
i wanted to create an abstract looking engine where
parts are blocks but under the blocks it is

                                                   





Image 10

Word: Engine and Soft
I dont think i drew this one well the engine
is like an exhaust pipe inspired from motorbikes
the soft image doesn't feel that soft looks more
flimsy then soft





Image 11

Word: Speeding and Shell
The speed is demonstrated by  the sharp lines
that form a lighting figure  the shell literally looks
like a shell :P






Image 12

Word: Shell and Speeding
to create an interesting shell i go inspired by
pyramids
as they are thick structures but are hollow inside
the speed is inspired by sharks fins as they
swim fast cutting through the waters

                                                    





Image 13

Word: Speeding and Soft
The  speed is upside down car so fast it
sticks to the wall. the soft is inspired by leaves
and petals
and how they are delicate objects







Image 14

Word: Hide and Speeding
The maze creates the feeling of hiding and the
 little walls that are poking in different
directions gives a private space
the speed is again demonstrated in the line
 travelling in a specific direction






Image 15

Word: Masculine and Hide
Masculinity is seen through the defined structures
I like how they loop through each other
almost linking with hiding
the hide section is like levels where u can hide
like a crab in a shell 




Image 16

Word: Shell and Masculine
Shell is inspired by crustaceans on the beach
masculinity is seen through the big structures and
no soft lines





Image 17

Word: Hide and Masculine
Hide can be seen through the narrow
entrance almost no one can see you
  and the masculinity is defined
 by the bold and thick lines of rectangles







Image 18

Word: Masculine and soft
Masculinity is seen through the bolts and
screw looking forms  soft is shown through the different
 layers of the curvy figure

" Its beginning to end "
The artwork is based on he idea of how in todays society people are too focused on reaching there ambitions and desires making them forget being young and free and the elderly people.




SKY

The image was taken on a trip back home to Australia from Vietnam. this picture show me that no matter where u live everyone is looking at the same sky and can feel home creating a sense of comfort.
