DRAFT

Below are some images of my progressing Barcelona Pavilion model. I have been experimenting with textruing- as well as applying bump and spec maps. I have also been playing around with a few decals. I still need to incorporate the breakable objects within my model. I also need to work on how I can emphasise the past use of humans.

 

CHANGE OF USE

As part of my strategy in revealing decay, I wanted to incporporate a changing use of the space. In this case, fo the Barcelona Pavillion, I intend to reveal the structure as if it was used as a derilict inhabited, vandalism prone area.  


 A makeshift bed (shipping crate) within the crumbling structure shows the previous living space as an improvised sleeping quarter

The open air pavillion space has been used as a communal gathering point, upon where bonfires and social gatherings may have occured

The introduction of foreign pieces into the structure demonstrates the disregard for Mies' previous architecture

ASSIGNMENT TWO STRATEGY STATEMENT

Within this assignment, I am depicting MVDR’s Barcelona Pavilion 100 years after human inhabitants have left. I intend to do this with the strategic consideration of landscape, textures, events – all though an interactive means.

The narrative accompanying the forced exodus is war based, wherein the pavilion was taken siege and the area converted into a temporary base. Within this time of changed occupancy, there was s deliberate neglect to the structure and its surrounds.  Hence, there will be remnants of the war stricken zone. In addition, the space has been further used by derelict occupancy- wherein the pavilion has been susceptible to vandalism, fires etc. Though all this time, each change of space use has left it’s unique mark- culminating to the reveal of the result 100 years later.

As my landscape is a barren desert, the sand dunes will infiltrate the structure, engulfing and infiltrating a large part of the structure- both internally and externally. This will reveal the overpowering control of nature, where there is no more human interference to maintain it. The sand dunes will have sparse grass to suggest a state of being dormant.  In an extension to this, I plan to incorporate roaming animals to demonstrate a long term of human abandonment.

In terms of interactivity, the pavilion had been largely broken down, as the walls have begun to crumble and fall. Hence, the roof has collapsed in on itself, as well as other structural elements. The interactive component comes into play with breakable objects that are destroyed upon shooting. There are also animated textures which reveal the progressing cracks in the lead up to major structural failures.  The results of the pavilion’s final textures are accredited to several events- such as progressive sand storm weathering, vandalism, material decay and corrosion.

BLEND LAYERS

- completed blend layer tutorial

Through the tutorial, i blended the tavertine walls of the pavillion, revealing how parts of it would collect dust and become weathered after years.

REFERENCE TRAILERS

Blood Diamond (2003)

I felt that this would be relevant, having a similar environment setting. I would like to achieve similar war torn effects to place upon Barcelona Pavilion


Tomb Raider (2001)

I want to depict my building as a standstill monument to what it use to represent, a notion conveyed through the ancient ruins which are expored within this film.



Holes (2003)

This movie is  very relevant to my desert context, revealing the neglected town and isolation i intend to achive.

Silent Hill (2004)

This is a horror movie which explores a parallel world. The town is abandoned, but becomes populated with muntant creatures.


National Treasure (2004)

 

 

This reference is in relation to how i want the building to be presented within the trailer- in regards to the notions of how it is being rediscovered after periods of remining dormant
