sketchup assignment

I had a interesting time experimenting with the many different tools on sketchup. I have used CAD and Rivet but never this... it was a learning experience.

elsewhere




These first pictures show the first impression that I got when I first went to elsewhere...wow!






This taped off section is "my space." It was located right when you enter the front door. I chose this space because I liked the way the things were "neatly" stacked. For some reason the suit cases at the top and the boxes at the bottom seemed to have there own little organization that no one could really understand.












































I found the picture of the lady to be almost a pun because it says "photos predating elsewher."

habitable wall...andy warhol

My first sketchmodel was litterally one wall. I thought if I drew out all the spaces that I needed then some idea would come to me and it kind of did.

In this sketchmodel I decided to take a plan and praise some parts to create more depth in my habitable wall.

My first scale model started out with this curve. For some reason I wanted to challenge myself and add curves because my client, Andy Warhol, thougth outside the box also.






I was actually pretty proud of my final model. I added these colors because they were the colors that Warhol used in his painting of Marilyn Monroe that was pretty popular. I decided to keep the curve because I liked the feel it gave.


I added the columns for support and also because I wanted something different that wasnt your average model.



I loved this picture while I was photographing my model. It is my scale figure in Warhols private, downstairs space.

bottle caps...

This is my welcome mat. I started out with many ideas such as birdfeeders and water fountians. But I decided to go with this mat. I used a drill press and drilled a hole straight through the bottle caps. Then I put them together using hemp string. It created a grid like connection.

PRESENTations!












I actually enjoyed this project, kinda. We got in our Moore Building group and basically put all that hard work and research together for our first presentaion board. Our board have 15 prospective drawings, 3 diagrams, 5 detail drawings, and other basic presentation stuff. My favorite part was our color sceme, I thought our color choice of grays, blues, and orange really made our board great.
