REFERENCE IMAGES

The image below depicts an abandoned factory warehouse. The element of main focus, is the collapsed roof. In particular, it highlights the mere existence of the remaining structural elements such as the beams, and a few rafters. However, The roof’s skin has fallen through, given in and collapsed.

The image demonstrates the remnants of a sagging staircase. Even though the mains structure is still mostly intact, the stairs have moss, and vines growing on the treads from lack of use. Furthermore, the paint is peeling, and the staircase is surrounded by rubble from falling overhead elements of the structure.

This Ghost town is relevant to my scene, as it is an abandoned place within a barren desert. Mostly all of the town’s structures and covered in a thick layer of orange dust, tinting and staining white walls. The tin rooves harbour red rust, with some being corroded all the way through to leave gaping holes. There is an eerie stillness about the town.

This abandoned greenhouse demonstrates what happens to glass with years of neglect. The glass panes are stained with dripping watermarks, making the material severely clouded. Due to the developing moisture, moss has developed on the glass. This was relevant to my Barcelona pavilion model, as the structure is largely consisted of glass material.

MODELLING PROGRESS

 

- completed joined object tutorial 
 I was very pleased with the outcomes of this technique. I feel it would be appropriate to use in the large tavertine walls of my structure. I also intend to use this technique to demonstrate the roof collapse.
