Experiment 2_Final Submission

Real-Time Image Captures and Architecture



Overview of the monuments and the land form, providing a contextual outlook of the spaces and forms.



Spaces shown are a representation of the concept of "Architecture as simple lines", demonstrating how the form is inspired by simple geometrical systems further creating spaces (tunnels) which have a shared form of circulation via ramps connecting the intersecting forms. The main central platform is accessed through the two main tunnel extrusions of the monuments. (The "Dark Texture" technique is used as a facade for the larger monument)


The real-time renders above emphasize the connectivity between the two monumental forms, further showing the central platform space and how this space inter-links the structures together. The interior spaces created by the form can also be seen clearly at the end of the extruded structures and in the open spaces in the monument on the left-hand side.



Images above demonstrate the fluidity of the form as a wholistic system, showing the link between the fluid forms and how these forms further transform in order to create architectural spaces. (Demonstration of the "Fluid Forms and spaces within forms". Also, the lower image shows the use of the "Light Texture" technique for the exterior facade of the spaces)



The image above shows the student meeting space which links the two monuments together through tunnels or the bridges based on top of the tunnel structures. The shelter takes the form of large glass sheets covering the triangular grid-like prisms which act as a canopy, allowing students to explore the landscape and relationships between monuments through the open spaces. ("Medium Texture" technique used for the platform floor)
