Textures

In week 3 we were required to develop 36 textures using words that we came up with in a group. Below are a variety of textures that I developed.

As part of this week's independent study we had to also create custom materials in Google Sketchup and apply them to a basic model. I chose to be more creative and apply the textures to actual products produced by 2 of the 3 clients.

We were then required to choose 3 textures from the 36 that we created and apply them to our model. I chose to apply these textures to various components of my building to differentiate between the different elements. I used the textures and applied them on external walls, glass and the face of the building. These textures have given me more ideas to improve and further refine my building which I intend on doing at a later stage.

We were also required to create our own video channel on YouTube and find and upload a video that had to do with section, stair, or materiality and the scheme. I chose to upload a video showing a range of amazingly designed stairs to enhance my imagination and provide me with inspiration when I further refine my model at later stages of this experiment.
