dRMM Architects

Sliding House

Layout of Design


The architecture of this house can be looked at in a numerous amount of ways. The two that stick out for me is one that having a house where you can adjust external walls to control light and shade is amazing! The other... the fact that this can be really dangerous!
I want my poster to be able to tell the viewer how my design came together. For example in stages. I want to lay out my design from beginning to end like a story.

Great Architecture - Frank Lloyd Wright

Waterfall House

Site Plan
Section

Sketches




3D CAD Model


I chose this piece of architecture simply because of the incredible relation between the natural and built environment. I want to be able to make sure my poster relates nicely with everything just like Frank Lloyd Wright's Waterfall House blending in perfectly with its surroundings. I also noticed that the colour scheme that Frank has used on the building materials for this design complements well with the landscape. The visual style for my poster should incorporate these concepts and ideas.

Images of my Creatures (PNG format)

Fabio

Fabio spends most of his time outdoors by flying or trotting around the place. His personal traits include being strong and heroic.

The environment in which he lives in is up high the mountains inside caves to keep warm and for protection. Towards the bottom of the mountains the land is surrounded and covered by trees making this a forest type environment and lakes placed around all over the land.


Giuseppe

Giuseppe is a very cheeky creature. He likes to play jokes on his fellow creatures and gets what he wants, when he wants. He lives in a dark island environment. The island has a lot of trees for him to climb and swing around on.


Sting

Sting is a shy but yet sophisticated creature. He lives underneath rocks. The rocks are surrounded by trees and river systems which have a variety of creatures living in the same habitat.


Stompy

Basically all this creature does is stomp, stomp and stomp. Hence the name Stompy! This creature loves the water environment. Although he c an swim and breathe under water, he lives on land. This creature is a sheep mea ning he likes to follow creatures and not be the leader.



360

The name 360 comes from his view on the world looking through his eyes. He has a 360 degree view of everything. 360 lives in trees high above the ground. This way he can have a good sight on things coming towards him. He likes to chase and hunt other creatures.
