Final critique and possible further development (week 6)

In the critiquing we did in class it was pointed out that my boat shed was over crowded with ideas so I changed a few images and removed some of the less important details such as the pommel horse. this meant that when someone walks into the downstairs room the focus is on the Dr Seuss stairs and the mirrored walls. I also went on to think that if I developed it further the bottom room might be removed and the mirrors moved to the top and create the look out idea from my previous concepts so that I can compress my ideas a bit further. Another possibility that was suggested was to have the glass floor floating so that the room is only usable at low tide.

I left out major elements such as the boat frame and the tools in the section image so that the form of the rooms themselves become the focus and can be seen better.

I added a figure to this image and made the mirror the focus so that the effect of the mirror was the focus and could be seen from the perspective of someone standing in the room.

final development (week 5)

So with these I tried going more into multi media and using the drawing to emphasise the image that already there. In this first image i mixed the elevation with the inside view of the bottom story to show the mirrors on the opposite walls of the boat shed. This was to represent the issues with my last name, since its history only goes back so for because it was fake. I tried to show this by having and endless image created by the mirrors showing how the history of my name goes back, yet when you try go into it you can go as far as the mirror showing how I am limited in finding out my history because of my last name even though it looks legitimate.

the glass floor holds back immense pressure created by the water showing a slight struggle I have with it and the possible fragility created by it.

 bottom and top story of boat shed 

with my final sketch I picked two of my images and put them together because I thought that they were both quite significant to my work.  The one on the left is the first experiment I did of expanding the boat shed which has become quite a big part of my design along with the other image showing my first concept of having a mirrored boat shed underneath which completely changed how I thought about the space and the way I could arrange it.

I did the section wrong on this image so I have repeated it and put it in the next post and have also added a bit more texture to it.

Since my internet has decided to run out of data I'm not sure if I will be able to upload my last post in time so i will try to explain it here.

Boat house CryEngine (week 4)

The video quality isn't very good because i had to convert it (the original file was 2.5GB)

It doesn't have much in it apart from the wave construction and the stairs but i felt that anything else I added wasn't visible enough because of the lack of texture, also I felt like these were the only things effected by the light coming through the roof in the later screenshots. I left the wall off the side so that the structure of the wave is more visible but left the frame and the stairs to give it a sense of boundary.
the bottom floor is submerged to give a sense of pressure on the glass floor because the boat house window of the bottom story will be connected to the sea via a small tunnel.

The oldest known records of my last name considering it was a fake name.

You probably can't read it but in the bottom left corner just about hidden by the frame is John Deroles who is in the book above.

boat sheds before they were all boat sheds

 what the aerial view actually is

 Walls of words.

The boat shed must represent us so why not construct the walls of just a description of us?  Is that the best way to represent ourselves? Because the boat shed becomes us, so to me I find I need things that only have a practical use. Can you make something with it?  Does it create something beautiful? Ff it doesn't what do I need it for? Then again I hate writing why should I construct my walls of it.
(that is what the walls say by the way)
