Week 2- Importing into CryEngine3

This was my first time importing my buildings from Google Sketchup into CryEngine3. Although there were lots of complications with setting up the files and folders in the beginning, I finally was able to import it into CryEngine3. The comment you gave me said that i should try importing the first and second building, but since I was already in CryEngine3, I decided to do all three to test out the possibilities. 

Building 1-

 Alvar- Rhythmic arrangement of elements mimics the tactility of the forest. Kengo- Horizontality and low scale of the building complements the discreteness and invisibility of the architecture.

As Russell said during one of the lectures, the red really does work with with the reflection of sunlight. I think that this building really works well with the concept. 

Building 2-

Alvar- Vertical framing and grand steps creates a climatic method of approach. 

Kengo- Placement of planes as a filter of light

II think I will need to play around more with this building .

Building 3- 

Alvar- Vertical framing and grand steps creates a climatic method of approach. 

Kengo- Placement of planes as a filter of light

I think that this building works well with the concept as well as the landscape. 

Overall I think building 1 and 3 works well with the concept as well as with the landscape in CryEngine3. Since you said to use building 2, I will play around with it more on Google sketchup and import it into CryEngine3 once again. 

Week 2- 3 parallel projections exploring the interconnection

These are my updated interconnected aggregations. To differentiate the two architects' concepts, I've made Kengo's concepts white, while Alvar's black.   

1)    Alvar- Rhythmic arrangement of elements mimics the tactility of the forest.

       Kengo- Horizontality and low scale of the building complements the discreteness and invisibility of the architecture.

  

2)  Kengo- Placement of planes as a filter of light.

     Alvar- Emulation of the exterior by controlled light.

3) Alvar- Vertical framing and grand steps creates a climatic method of approach.

Week 1- Experiment 2: Axonometric drawings of concepts

Kengo Kuma 

1)Placement of planes as a filter of light

2)Reflection as a way to create infinite space and ambiguous boundaries and alters spatial awareness.

3)Horizontality and low scale of the building complements the discreteness and invisibility of the architecture.

Alvar Aalto

1)Emulation of the exterior by controlled light.

2)Vertical framing and grand steps creates a climatic method of approach.

3)Rhythmic arrangement of elements mimics the tactility of the forest.
