36 Textures


Lumion Environment

The images below give an understanding of the environment in which the model is placed. The model is mainly made out of glass, for reasons relating to both aesthetics and passive architecture.

Animation 2

In this animation, you can see the lift moving through the building to connect the two bridge spaces. The lift saves people both time and energy, in comparison to stairs. There are still spaces designed for stairs in the model.

Animation 1

For the first moving element, I decided to add a roof that moves above the highest bridge. The purpose of the movement is to assist with "Passive Housing". It closes to provide shade when it is raining or too hot, and is left open when it is too cold and optimisation of solar gains is needed.

This is a draft of the first animation.

Week 2 - Model on campus (sketchup)

I inserted the bridge onto the model of the campus between the square house and round house, and then adjusted the shape slightly to fit. The photos below show the process of this happening.
