Final poster

After I finished my model there was an other swap. I gave my to somebody and I got a new model too. The next step at this exercise was to make a poster about the new shape. Create a collage about it like it's a building in a real environment. My new model is closed just with a few opening kind of like a tent for me so I decided to make a meditation hub from it and placed into a desert. This is the collage:

The material of the building is rough holed metal. In this case some light can get inside and the color fits into the environment. In the whole poster you can see the created story why and how this building has been created, it shows the chosen materials and some line drawings.

Model under process

The model what I showed before is for an other student. We have to swap our's to a classmate so I got mine from somebody else too. This is that model what I have to create in Rhino. First we made photos about it and after that we inserted into Rhino to help us how the lines go.

Here are some renders about the half of the model what I have to continue on class. I have created it by repeating the same triangle just I have to rotate it in 3D as you can see on the model photos. The only difficulty is that at the other half, what I haven't made yet this type of triangle will become half size so it means more shapes, more rotations, more details. The point, lines, edges which ones stand on the ground helps me to make the right shape.

Model

   At this exercise we had to create a shape, a space, a kind of sculpture from paper. This is just the first step because we have to give it to a classmate who gonna draw it into a digital 3D model. My first version was very simple. I just cut some ears into the paper and folded it into different sizes of rings.

At the second one I cut it from both sides and after the folding I joined the opposite sides and created a kind of flower.

                                   

The final one is simiar to the second one but it stands on legs or it grows from the base. 

3D rhombus

I coudn't open my file in Rhino so I just tried to find an another way to show some possibilities as my pattern's 3D model.

On this first picture all the sites are the same color but because of the light it turned to different shades. Here the light and shadow game is very intresting for me.

On these examples they used it as a facade element. If you look at the front it would be a normal rhombus pattern but from down it changes, it moves and gives a sweeping feeling for me.

I'm going to try to play with light-shadow game and with different points of views on my model.

Simple element - not just simple shape

I have chosen a simple shape the rhombus as a main element for my patter. I started to play with it for example what's happening if I rotate or mirror it, what kind of complex shapes could I see in it.

These are my attempts and I think it's really nice that something so simple as this can create so many different formations.

Patterns

Here are some intresting patterns what I have found during the quick search:

I really like how a fracture of the form can create this nice 3D shadow or how some simple shapes create other shapes between them.
