Week 0 - Before the first class... Image a - Best piece of creative work This photograph was taken during my holidays in India. I was able to capture the intense and wild side of nature through the dynamic elements of photography.

The colours used on the surface evokes a sense of darkness and mystery. In order to create a balance, the bri...

Staircase - Part 1

STAIRCASE 5 sketch up images 4 sections Section 1 and 2 of stairs 1 Stair 2 Sketch up stairs Stair 1 : Contrast : From underground to ground level. The stairs are held in a decagon shaped structure. Hence, from the exterior, the structure comprises straight lines. However, the staircase takes a curved structure, contrasting with the straight lines. Stair 2 : Nature: The staircase from Ground level to level 1 (BernabeiFreeman) takes up a natural form of against each other. The curve of the structure resembles the curve of the leaves. The symmetry of the stairs further emphasises the role of nature within architecture, metaphorically presenting the leaves over each other.
