bordeaux board

For the last phase of the project and semester, in our same groups from the conceptual model project, we generated a poster depicting the modeling of the Bordeaux house. We used the images of the topography grid from the model as the background for our board. We created a whimsical take on the Bordeaux house which depicts creativity and intrigue. This was a great project to end the semester.

conceptual model

For this portion of the project, I got to work with Carlie, Cassie, and Audra to design a conceptual model of the Bordeaux house, which we rendered in rhino from the previous project. This model was to focus on solids, voids, planes, and context. Because the Bordeaux house emphasizes the land, we chose this as the main feature. We first made a topography map out of cardboard and cut this into a grid of 12 pieces. We then vacuumed formed polystyrene over the cardboard to get a clean, smooth surface. The dark wood contrast with the white giving this model a conceptual way of interpreting the Bordeaux house.

rendering in rhino

Using a modeling software, Rhinoceros, we were asked to render an icon of modern architecture. I chose Bordeaux House by Rem Koolhaas. Never using rhino before, I am pleased with how much I was able to accomplish.

rendering in illustrator

Using the same wireframe from before, we were asked to render the space using solely illustrator.
