ARCH 1101- Google Sketchup 8, 2D to 3D Modelling.

Original Sketch during Studio Session
Above Section: 'Dove' ( It is meant to be a representation the a Dove's wing from Banksy's work)
Underground Section:  'Dark'


New and Improved Sketch

Materials chosen include wood, steel and glass.

The Dove's wing is what inspired me to create the upperground model, the exterior is finished off with white paint.

The light isn't able to bounce off the walls and this dramatically affects the lighting of the room.

The title was chosen as this was a symbolic photograph of humans giving back to the environment what was rightfully theirs.

Swiss Re

The ''Swiss Re' building found in London was founded by an insurance company following the great fire of Glarus in 1861. The Architects of the 'Swiss Re' building have built other magnificent buildings such as the Lusail Stadium in Qatar (2009) which will hold the 2022 World Cup. Other buildings which they have built include the 'Kamakura House' in Japan (1997-2004), it incorporates the Japanese view that the beauty of nature is accentuated through the amalgamation with man-made infrastructures
