Atlas of Colour - the Rothurbury Estate Winery

These images are collages and ink paintings using a layering effect to depict plans and axonometric sketches drawn to scale.

Atlas of Colour - the Colour Wheel

These series of colour wheels where used throughout the atlas and show my final decision to use OLIVE as my theme colour.

Fluid Thought and movement

In this workshop we were encouraged to not think of objects to literally but to more so investigate how objects sat within the greater context of there surroundings. I definitely felt a progression throughout the workshop as many hours spent experimenting with different techniques and drawing the same object from different perspectives to figure out what methods were most effective. The final images were made of the Museum of Sydney using a combination of media from ink, charcoal, graphite pencil and watercolour

Material Modelling Final Submission

The model is based on two words, solitude and confinement. I used a combination of fluid and rigid shapes to create a balance composition. The main object is in a tear drop shape which has can be interpreted literally of what a tear represents of the actual shape which represents one of confinement. The balsa wood model is place onto of an A2 poster which integrates the fluid teardrop shapes and strict black lines of darkness and confinement.

Material Modelling Week three

This collage is an A2 poster based on my chosen object within the city. I used the escalators in Chifley plaza to show how areas and sections can be divided. The stairs act more than an effective means of transport but a journey to a new level of understanding. This is juxtaposed to the purely functional use which the commuters see them as.

Material Modelling Week two

I created this model in class as my response to the text and one prescribed word. The ideas behind this model where exploring how the smooth lines of the first rectangle/circle can morph into a less specific shape and crumble smaller and lower to the ground.

Material Modelling Week one

These are four of the quick 10min sketches we made to represent a single world.

The Second Draft Environment

This draft shows the initial stages when i decided to first use octagonal shapes as a means to incorporating the two workspaces of Obama and Prada. The bridge was not adequately linked to the main shapes and I found that the overall organic feel was lost in this solely 'Unreal' environment.

For my final design despite still being predominately UT the use of naturally appealing materials really tied in well with the theme which I was trying to convey of 'Power in a workplace based on equality', - the essence of all sucessfull leadership.

A technical issue of a 'disappearing' bridge was also evident in this draft which I found a solution to in the latter stages.

The Elevators

Prada Elevator: This elevator addressed the need for easy accessibility and incorporated open outdoor design and a good viewing point. My choice of material outlined the importance which is placed on feeling that the natural world, such as the wooden sculpture in Prada's foyer can relate to the man-man world.

Obama Elevator:

This elevators purpose is for the sole us of the president. It represent luxury and the power which Obama has over his fellow staff who are directed to use the dimly light and successively narrow corridor to access Obama primary private office. The organic forms with minimal structure provide a relaxing atmosphere, which is more masculine when compared to Prada's.

Power and The News - Our clients

After 20 years of tireless invention, Madonna is not only still at the top but has emerged as the First Lady of Pop. – to the disappointment of critics who typically believe that by now she should have been punished for her sins. This is mid-life Madonna…

THICK, wide-ribbed cream tights, bamboo-heeled wedges and a subtly silver brocade coat: those are the season's must-haves. How do we know? Miuccia Prada of course.

Q: Do you wear clothes by any other designers?

A: "Only if they are dead or poor!"

To those who’ve known the President since boyhood, it’s not just those “dreams from my father” that make Obama, but also his mother’s daring, his grandmother’s grit, and his own relentless drive.

‘You’re the senate president now, and with that, you have a lot of pow-er.’ ” Jones stretched out the word, as if savoring the pleasure of it, and his voice became very quiet as he continued: “And I told Barack, ‘You think I got a lot of pow-er now?,’ and he said, ‘Yeah, you got a lot of pow-er.’ And I said, ‘What kind of pow-er do I have?’ He said, ‘You have the pow-er to make a United States sen-a-tor!’ ” Jones let out a soft, smoky laugh. “I said to Barack, I said, ‘That sounds good!’ I said, ‘I haven’t even thought of that.’ I said, ‘Do you have someone in mind you think I could make?,’ and he said, ‘Yeah. Me.’ ”
