Week 2 - Exp 2 (Interconnections)

As part of our week 2 exercise, we had to develop sketches to explore the interconnections between 2 pairs of drawings from week 1 exercise. We then had to re-draw the drawing from the opposite angle. I carefully selected the drawings that I paired together to try and create a unique combination.

 I then used the axonometric drawings as the foundation of my final interconnection but really tried to focus on creating an element to allow for the linkage of both spaces together. I was inspired by the concepts that both drawings related to and developed my interconnection for both drawings based on these factors.

Below are the drawings that I paired together along with the interconnection made between them.

The final step for this exercise was to develop the chosen sketch (Interconnection 2) using Google Sketchup and hen create an environment in Cry Engine and import the model to explore the relationship between the environment and the model. I was really inspired by the lightweight feel of my design so I decided to cantilever the model in between a valley as shown below.
