Hey guys.
This is a group project that I just finished working on, in my final year of my BSc of Architecture. We were to design a film institute in the city of Bristol, with the title "Film, Ontology and Architecture".
Not to bog you down with too much conceptual stuff so here's a quick summary so you understand what the building is about. We took the title and broke it down into three bodies: film; human; and architecture. Each body is composed of three entities: the outer layer; the structural layer; the inner layer.
Human: Skin - Musculature - Viscera
Architecture: Facade - Structure - Spaces formed.
For film, the cinema and screen formed the outer tangible layer. The structure of the film, we treated as the audience, where without the audience, the film would not stand/exist. The inner layer is the emotions provoked by the film onto the audience.
So what we wanted to do is to create a series of transitional spaces that progressively take people out of the world of the reality and into the cinematic world. The form of the building also takes nature of a body with skin and its "organs" floating within the body.
A bit long winded but otherwise I don't think the building would make much sense without it. So... here we go
Sketchup, Vray and Photoshop used.
Edit: Oh yeah. Forgot to mention. There's over 4 million edges and 1.6 million faces in this model!
Hope you like it! C&C welcome!
Thanks
