Week 10 | Review of EXP2 Peer Work

An Phan's work for Experiment 2 demonstrates the manipulation of landform to provide a sense of the model's adaptation towards its environment, a reference to the conceptions of Charles Darwin. However, more experimentation with the landform could have benefited this idea.

The model appears to contain a large amount of "negative" rectangular prisms but it may have been the intention of the student to have provided an open space. Additionally, the "box" texture applied to parts of the Sketchup model emphasise its rectangular nature whilst the other textures reveal experimentation towards lighting effects.

Overall, a sound effort for Experiment 2.

Week 10 | Landscape Design

The Grand Canyon is the venue for Experiment 3. It is located in the United States of America, birthplace of Hellen Keller.

Week 10 | News Article MashUp

In Berlin, where Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a groundswell of hostility, Keller learned to circumvent her blindness, deafness and muteness. Kerr’s first venture as a businesswoman issued stark warnings about the prospects that no similarly afflicted person before had done. Merkel’s proposals are radical and would require renegotiating to launch her signature revolutionised help for the blind and deaf. Her sombre tone explained directly and without reference to a 'sixth sense' “There is so much I really want to do, and I am passionate about health and wellness”.

Kerr will promote her stiff new prescriptions to defend her powers of articulate speech. She is also engaged in a simmering power struggle but said there are no aspirations at the moment. She committed passionately to the bailout, thereafter, as a girl and as a woman, became a triumph over crushing adversity and shattering affliction. “I am quite happy at the moment”, Kerr said, portraying herself as the saviour of the euro.

Miss Keller always insisted that there was nothing mysterious or miraculous to the fudges and fiddling of fiscal miscreants, she argued. Her tremendous accomplishments and the force of assertive personality that underlay them were plans to expand the line to include “no more and no less than the future”. Her remarkable mind unfolded, and she was coy when asked if she expected something special over who should police the new regime. She became an artful and subtle writer after months of prevarication and deep reluctance to increase her brand portfolio.

Week 10 | "E-Shaped" Prisms in Space

Week 9 | Final Axonometric Images in Crysis

Stephen Hawking's Space. The design of the lab focused on the idea of providing more open space than the building held, revealing the decay of mankind.





Charles Darwin's Space. This space was made to integrate with its surrounding environment to depict the collaboration between nature and man to form a physically strong structure. Thus revealing the strength of mankind's cooperation.




This image displays the meeting space. The two ramps can be seen on either side of the image, where the path on the left is a subtle ramp while the ramp on the right is made constructed from the mountain.




This image shows the effects of lighting at certain points of the structure.








An overview of the whole island, showing the contrasting ideas of decay and collaboration. The building acts as a means to form an aggregation these concepts.

Week 9 | New Axonometric Designs

New designs were made to meet the criteria for the experiment.

Week 9 | Experimenting with Landscape

Experimenting with landscape to convey Stephen Hawking's idea of mankind's destructive nature.


















Experimenting with the best way to create a ramp from landscape.

Week 9 | EXP2 Textures (Dark to Light)

Textures appear tilted due to the slanted grid of my sketchbook.

Week 8 | Black Box Drawing Reflection

The idea of order out of chaos is a concept that I believe architects pursue in their designs. The depiction of this idea is prominent in Erika Kruger's Final Drawings.

Through my own work, there has been a controlling aspect which has restricted my creativity, hindering the idea of creating order from chaos due to the lack of chaos through the design process. One of these limiting factors is the structural integrity of designs as I have always taken structure as a key component within the design process.

Furthermore the lack of experimentation within my work has also impeded the development of designs. As a result, the linear approach to my work has been a restricting factor within my progression of ideas.
