Post 10 - Kitchen Modelling

2008-08-29T12:15:00.005+01:00

I used 100s of reference photos and sketchup models (for reference only!) I would'nt like to say that this model is 100% accurate but if I find any more information I will amend. Here's how it stands at the moment. I have collasped it all into one Polygon model and will texture using Multi-Sub Object in due course.

Post 6 - Built on a flood plane

2008-08-27T12:33:00.004+01:00

Inventing a disaster management plan on the spot, David Bahlman, president of Landmarks Illinois, Barbara Campagna, the Trust's director of architecture, and others borrowed a flat-bottomed aluminum motorboat from a nearby homeowner and rode through the brown floodwaters to the skeletal white house, whose walls consist of huge sheets of floor-to-ceiling glass.

They made makeshift tables out of hastily purchased crates and boards, and stacked rugs and other furnishings on them. They bundled the bottoms of curtains in plastic garbage bags, getting the curtains off the floor. They lifted Mies-designed Barcelona chairs atop the house's wardrobe. Removable primavera wood panels from the house's fireplace wall went there too.

Then the big oncoming storm dissipated, the sun came out and the waters began to recede

Post 3 - Farnsworth House CAD

2008-08-26T10:20:00.005+01:00

Lucky me, amazingly came across the CAD files for Farnsworth in the following book on the bookshelf Titled 'Plans, Sections and Elevations' by Richard Weston. Book contains a CD with 100s of Autocad Drawings to accompany pages in the book.

Book

Here is the Layout for the CAD in Studio Max. Also place elevations face up with the floor plan. I only ever model using one large view at a time instead of multiple views at the same time so I find that positioning the CAD this way helps as you to view the elevation from the top view mentally connecting what you see on the the floor plan to the elevations. Saves hours of changing views.

Post 2 - Farnsworth House

This is the subject I have chosen to Visualise. I wanted something basic to model for a quick leap to starting the good stuff.

Post 1 - Untitled Project

2008-08-21T14:19:00.003+01:00

I am starting a new personal project and will post my development from start to completion. I know at this stage I want minimal, ultra realistc, probably both exterior and interior with natural materials in a big open space with limited furniture. The final image will be flagship for the main website. Check back after the break for progress.
