MASH UP

The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit. Fear and power do not peacefully coexist. In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. She started out with a fairly simple, local thing, a string of excellent,an expression of herself. It follows, then, that she who wishes to reach the most rarefied and potent ranks, to choose our better history,that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation must have a certain serenity. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Sometimes she fails, aesthetically and otherwise. And more often than not, she wins because we have chosen hope more than anything else to carry forward that precious gift, her gift. Yet, every so often, it has its ups and downs. The oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some. The God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. But adaptability, is her gift.

View towards studio

Interior Ramp

I decided to design two different ramps leading to the meeting place for both clients Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Keith Campbell does have a style of their own. This was also done to make the whole environment more effective and interesting.

Clients Meeting Place

The Meeting Place

This way leads us to Campbell's studio which is on a slightly higher level, thus the stairs. Lighting was chosen to be more soft here to help the clients take a rest and feel more comfortable.

Completed map - Jacques-Yves Cousteau x Keith Campbell


Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s studio relates to my “Electroliquid Aggregation” in a way that shows how design can be very surreal and dreamlike. This is portrayed by a floating space wrapped in a sea of steps.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau's Studio

The Meeting Place

The simplicity of the ‘meeting place’ was designed for comfort and a space which belongs to both clients. I chose to use a different colour other than blue and green for the meeting place because I believe that here, they can temporarily forget about their work and away from their studio environments.

Keith Campbell's Studio

Campbell's space focused more on things being balanced and equivalent. This studio shows how simple things can be put into practice. A wider and more spacious area can be more effective.

Chosen Combined Axometrics + 4 Drafts of UT Environment

These images briefly shows my environment and where everything is going to be. Jacques-Yves Cousteau's studio which is going to be on the outside, ramp connecting to the meeting place which is going to be cut thru the wall and Campbell's studio which here you can see is at the very back for the time being.

My chosen axometric is basically made up of "steps" and this idea came from Campbell's quote "cloning", where they follow one after another and making specific patterns.

Electroliquid Aggregation

"Buoyed by water, he can fly in any direction — up, down, sideways — by merely flipping his hand. Under water, man becomes an archangel".

Electroliquid Aggregation
"Surreal as it may be, transforming into an archangel grants man infinite strength for the impossibles when buoyed by water. By a gentle lift, he can fly to a place where he belongs. Man can benefit from the tiniest things in the world. Constant innovations can improve our practice".

Shadows as Repetition Slides 84-86

This image portrays the use of repetition in design. The concept may be very simple but the effect of the constant clones and use of the same shape and design may bring out a special effect if used correctly through the design concept. In my opinion, repetition seems to be a more powerful tool when wanting to convey specific idea but in a much more simpler fashion. By continuously repeating an object or design, it also creates somewhat of a rhythm which people can follow with their eyes and can even lead them to other particular areas within a space.
This can be reflected upon my design of the three spaces where I used a lot of similar and repetitive shapes. By doing this, it makes my work look more harmonious and allows the design to flow smoothly. Repetition also makes the cast shadows more constant and pleasing.

Completed Datum and Stairs

Gascoigne Studio [Woodblocks]

This stair was difficult to achieve because of the many joints on the handle bars and the unity of the stairs when drawn as a whole on SketchUp. The chosen material for this is timber which relates to the noun 'woodblocks'.

Fional Hall [Spontaneous]

These are the stairs on Fiona Hall's studio which leads up to a top level. The material chosen is also timber for I felt that it can act as a medium for the two studios although the designs of the stairs are totally different in both shape and form.

This is the final datum with Fiona Hall's studio on the upper level and Rosalie Gascoigne's studio on the bottom level.
