Week 01_Independent Task

Here is the test model I exported into Cryengine for the Independent Task.

Observations of the three buildings:

Barcelona Pavilion:

 The Barcelona Pavilion appears to use very obscure materials in its construction.There is a lot of tinted glass used as well as translucent glass. There is also a lot of stone materials like onyx used. There is a grid-like structure to it and the steel columns conform to a regular grid.



House at Bordeaux:

 This house is very unique as there is a lot of technology implemented into its design. There is also lots of contrasting materials used such as cement, glass and aluminum. There is a lift inside the house that moves between the levels.





Rudin House

Despite its use of concrete, the construction of the building makes it appear as though the building were floating. The entrance to the house is place beneath it up a set of stairs. The house is also symmetrical length-wise. The floating platform is also a structural element as it creates an overhang that catches rain water.
