STEPHEN WILLIAM HAWKINGS

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

Albert Einstein

The source website of this quote http://mads.stenfatt.com/einstein/ is a sub link from http://www.westegg.com/einstein/. The Original Source originated from a historical interview by George Sylvester Viereck and was published on The Saturday Evening Post in 1929, titled "What life means to Einstein".

SWALLOW'S STUDIO TOWER

EXHIBITION SPACE

PICCININI'S STUDIO ROOM

The Related Animation (Lecture task)

This is a short animation from Final Fantasy VII. It incorporates a range of background buildings and structures which to some degree fall under the theme of destruction, collision and corruption. There are various camera angles in which I found useful in conveying meaning, hence I used it as the sample animation.

36 Textures + Applied to sketchup

The particular textures imported into the Sketchup are as follow: Dry, Stiff, Durable.

Above Ground

The above groud refers to Swallow's Art work, it features a sense of collision through its use of a thin layer of rough rock composition. This is further engaged through the destructive nature of the three towers. The above ground correlates to Swallows conceptual collision between man and nature. The single boot emphasizes human invasion into harsh nature. This harsh nature is also revealed through the artists orange semi arid ground colour. Thus the texture of "dry" is applied to the floor.

Below Ground

Picinni's composition involves the heavy use of metal. This is emphasized through the room. The wheel uses very little support to hold the wheel in place. Hence creates the sense of lacking stiff support. The subsequent "stiff" texture is therefore applied in combination with the "durable metal texture". This texture both obtain engage the word "contemporary" through both post modern appearance and materialistc properties.

Week 02 Independent Study

For the First Sketch Up Task, 2 More sections had to be drawn

the two words are already included in the previous post.

This is the 2nd Sketch up Task requiring to start on a new design.

The two words i chose for the artists is "collision (above ground)" and "Contemporary (underground)".

This design reflected a chain of thoughts. The three towers used to illustrate collision was first inspired through a biblical illusion of trinity. As much as we see magnificant temples in Greece that gradually break down over a prolong duration, a rather symbolic structure was used illustrate the relationship between man and God. The spiral staircase within the cylindrical structure itself symbolizes a process in which man takes to reach the sky and the God above. However, the design not only considers the material and texture collision, bibical structures and religious structures often occur in styles that are no longer or rarely employed. Thus a further collision between the the past and the present is made. Inorder to prevent the building from becoming obsolete it must have a purpose in the future, hence the collosium design is employed to feature the possible use as a sport stadium for example. The collossium design is also slightly modified with a glass transparent performance ground as a interlink between the past (above ground) and the contemporary (underground). Theoretically, performances can be seen by views both above and below ground level. The stair sizes are designed slightly larger such that they may act as seats for the viewing audience. Helicopters can land on the towers, if not otherwise it can be used as an observatory tower.

Sketch Up

The two words are "Spin" and "Boots" in which i chose as a caption for Picinni and Swallow's artworks. The basement of the sketch up however has been modified in a sense such that boots offer grip in the ground to achieve stability, as well as protection. Hence the modified design in sketch up features this grip through its spiral design, like roots in the ground. Protection is featured through both its shape and material such that it protects the interior from collapsing in the soil. The upper half is featured similarily slices of disorientated spheres to illusrate the motion of moving tires. Its choice of material is to achieve long lasting earthy colour. This reveals the connection between the structure and the clients artwork (wheel).
Materials: Upper half (sandstone surface and devil's food colour tiles)
: underground half (Reinforced concrete)
