EXP 1 - DEVELOPMENT

ABOVE: DIAMOND (ROLEX)

BELOW: MECHANICAL (HAZAN MOTORWORKS)

I chose this section because it is one of my favourite and it is closet to a realistic architectural space.

DRAFT MODEL

I built this model according to my section. However, this model looks look an extrusion from a two-dimensional drawing. Therefore, I rebuilt the model

ABOVE GROUND MODEL

I rebuilt the model by first building two separate forms

LEFT COMPONENT (SMALL)

RIGHT COMPONENT (LARGE)

I tried to put these two component in different ways. For example:

However, I want the left component to stand out and resulted in the shape of the final model.

BELOW GROUND MODEL

I rotated the boxes in different way to make the below ground structure looks more interesting.

Resulted in this (the coloured structure), which the boxes are put both horizontally and vertically. 

ADDING ELEMENTS

I built various objects to be put in the final model.

A cube with x-shaped beam as a supporting structure.

The building level with a void in the middle.

Stairs for one of the boxes.

The cube which is the major element of the above ground supporting structure.

TEXTURES USED

WRINKLED

DENATURED

POROUS

MESSY

CHAOTIC

MOLECULES

GLAMOROUS

ELEGANT

DRIPPING

I chose these texture due to different reasons. "GLAMOROUS" and "ELEGANT" are reflecting the nature of Rolex design as they are used in the above ground structure. Some of the above textures remind me of motorcycle. For example, "MESSY" AND "CHAOTIC" maybe the appearance of a motorbike driver, "MOLECULES" reminds me about a motorbike that components have to work together, and "DRIPPING" reminds me of motor oil. Moreover they all look good as a texture with repetitive pattern.
