Watching each sparrow is too troublesome

"Architecture, unlike a game of checkers with fixed rules and a fixed number of pieces, and much like a joke, determined by context, is the croquet game in Alice in Wonderland, where the Queen of Hearts (society, technology, economics) keeps changing the rules." (Negroponte, from Sadler, 2005, 96)

14: Details

With my interior spaces mostly modelled up, I now have to import my waving facade from 3DS Max into Sketch Up so I can have one complete working model. I was pretty sure I was having a heart attack during this process - my computer was crashing enough as it was with the complexity of my interior modelling, without having to add a complex structure like my OLED surface into the file. But after watching that wheel spin for a nerve wrecking few minutes, I managed to merge to two models to great success!

Producing the elevations and sections were then just a simple process of screen shots and section cuts.

Elevation from Burnett Lane
Elevation from Queen Street

Section facing towards South Bank

Section facing towards Fortitude Valley

In producing these elevations and sections, using the black and white style faces with hidden lines showing, I had a glimpse of what my perspectives looked like in this style and I love it! It shows the amount of detail I have applied to my interior spaces, and gives the whole thing a blueprint/technology feel. Unfortunately it isn't very representative of the experience of the space, but I really do love how this image turned out.
