CONCEPT MODEL

In determining my concept model, i began with 'sunglasses' as my inspiration to spark an idea. The lines and the angles were the key aspects that i took away from this and developed the following image below:



An inspiring architect: zaha hadid also pushed me towards this form.
the form is an abstracted/obscured sunglasses where the base is the lens and the other points are the arms of the frames. The repetition created in between was for laser cutting purposes.

I needed to create a 3d model that will give me more options to work around.
using the same angles and shapes created in the existing concept drawing this was the second model derived, and also to the help of Ruwan.

Working on the concept further, i created a space that was usable, more function, whilst incorporating same/similar shapes and forms. The work produced is currently in sketch up however can be easily imported into 3ds Max in order to add further detail. Details would include lighting in between the gaps, more detailed walls/frames

(The idea of this form is to allow two arcades on either sides of the structure. This would accommodate for retail spaces, cafes, private businesses, restaurants, bars and more. I wanted to use the left hand side as an arcade as the existing side has a unique graffiti that could potentially be kept becoming a feature wall to the arcade. )
