Tutorial 4

Attempted to do a fly through. Used 3ds max which I am quite unfamiliar with. Then used a mixture of photoshop, autocad and rhino to create various forms using loft and sweep commands.

Architecture mimicking nature, computers mimicking nature,

references a number of ideas that I am attempting to discuss in my advanced computing studies. Particularly in terms of structure. It refers to an arcticle in The Scientist, 'Designing Buildings, using Biology' which I will look into further.

Nature and Architecture, nature as architecture, architecture copying nature and the role computers have in regards to these issues. One such example is Peter Eisenman's City of Culture of Galicia which mimics a number of natural structures particularly the undulation of the landscape.

An arthropod is an invertebrate that has an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed attachments called appendages. Arthropods are animalsbelonging to the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos "foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids,crustaceans, and others.

I am interested in the link between arthropods - architecture - computers particularly the way the built environment often mimics or attempts to replicate the natural biological world in both macro and micro form: from urbanism to basic structure.

vase render

this is my vase. It is lovely. It was created by using a mixture of rotate, boolian differences and subtracting. Basic lights and materials where used and the flower was added in photoshop, post production of the render.
