Sydney Opera House Axonometric Drawing

The Sydney Opera House immediately came to mind as I have always seen this as a particularly visually striking building. The Location to begin with gives the Sydney Opera House a particular setting in which it really shows off its presence. In saying this, Jorn Utzon positioned the building in such a way that it was able to catch light in a particular manner. For me, I find this aspect to be the most compelling as the shape of the sails that the opera house is made up of really manages to catch light for the reason that it is not sitting on its platform straight.

St Mary's Cathedral Tokyo, for me has a similar type of aura about it in that it demands attention with its presence. With a fairly unusual floor plan, the shape of a crucifix makes sense in this particular instance, however, not approached in a similar way as cathedrals generally might. Visually this building has a air of confidence for which reason I felt appropriate to place alongside the Sydney Opera House. Of all the above diagrams I find myself particularly interested in the opera house axonometric .

Laser cut order. Initially i ordered 3 parts clear acrylic + one part MDF to create two transparent layers and one solid.

Two stories would have been more feasible than three. however down to lack of time and fear of not having parts cut in time i simply went with one acrylic as seen below.

Initial Poster draft.

The problem with this draft was obvious once the model was becoming a reality.

Too much space had been set aside for text.

Final Draft for the 2.5d poster. This image really shows exactly what i had in mind/ and what also came to fruition. A little more care could have been taken at this stage of the design process.

I had ruling guides as part of the illustrator file that was sent to the Laser cutting lab, and also tentatively measured the distance between elements in order to avoid overlap however a few little overlaps occurred nonetheless.

Rendered with VRAY for Sketchup, this image was intended to be at night. I placed a blue filter over the lights in the scene in an attemt to create moon- mood lighting.

Taken straight from sketchup.

Cirius

Extremely timid, nesting underground to keep out of sight.

Kamichi

Thick skinned, lives in small groups in a semi urban environment generally not particularly sociable. Feeding a dawn and dusk, to avoid the heat of midday.

Amalette

Nocternal, dense Urban environments. Using its long legs to climb sky scrapers and find few adversaries at this altitude.

Hanata

Spending most of its time in swamplands and marshes, extremely large in size.

Ginyuki

Pack animal from grassy open areas.

This short clip illustrates the use of multiple software creating a virtual model.

By creating an anchor on a sheet of paper after up loading a 3 dimensional model, i was able to use a web cam to record this model being rendered in real time and record it with Fraps.
