Refined Model

Although I am aware that is could be more refined, however my sketch skills are lacklustre. 

Nine more Sections

(reverse of previous words)

Above Texture: Stinging

The use of this as an interior and exterior texture adds to the sci-fi aesthetic with allusions to violence in nature. This adds to the aggression of the building, and as it is quite small, this aggression is necessary. 

Below Texture: Woven

This texture is intended to envelop the entire wall-space of the downstairs interior. It adds a plush dimension to the walls.

Chosen Design to refine: Second design

The second design to me shows a lot of potential for breaking architectural rules in its design. The way that the floating Spheres interact with the landscape, which I imagine to be a desert environment, alludes to something futuristic and almost sci-fi related. The dessert has a very martian landscape, and I want to reflect that oddness with a bold and somewhat intimidating design. 

36 Textures

I will re-upload these when my scanner gets fixed, so this is the highest quality of image I could manage to edit for now. 

The woven texture in the image above is slightly inspired by the texture on this wall in martin place. I enjoy the contrast between the rough, hard tactile texture, and its visual appearance. It's like a textural optical illusion.

Stairs for the first sketch-up model

I will replace these with high-quality scans eventually. I actually really liked the way that these stairs would have worked around the spaces, and I may model them for practice at some time.

Clean, Ruffle 

Not exactly sure how I feel about this one. The stairs were particularly challenging to make. This is very much in the draft stages and I'm not particularly  proud of it. I need to get a few plug-ins berfore I refine this design.
