Alice Tully Lincoln Center:

The Exteriors are made of glass hinged by metal knobs and wires to give it steadiness. Curtain walls

Fritted glass

David H Koch Theater:

The floor and the walls are made of lime stone too- Turadzo floor. The railing is made of yellow brass.

David H Koch Theatre Exteriors:

Unfinished lime stone panels and columns on the exteriors. Lime stone is porous sedimentary rock.

Lincoln center:

The wall right to the entrance has a wall with real liner plants attached to it to give it a fresh look with a design element. The floors and the walls are made of stone. The seating is marble hand finished. Most of the walls are made of textile to soften the sound. One wall has been made with a painting the other with woven metal threads to absorb sound.

Design Museum Exteriors:

The exterior of the building have a structural guiding system. Glass curtain wall with fritted glass. The fritted glass has a similar process of silk printing.

Design Museum:

The walls and the floor are made of concrete. The steps are made of wood and have gap between each to give it a floating effect. The steps are made of steel cable that are intertwined with again thinner metal strings to make it strong and sturdy. The windows are made of glass and have been incorporated with french style.

White background for a photo studio

Machine that can replicate any shape or object in under minutes. Its mainly used for metal mouldings.

This is the workshop where they work with wood and have machines such as a laser printer.

These are a few materials that are being used in the studio space.

The first two are made of chipboard and paper moulded into different patterns.

This is a 3D printer in the works.

This is a studio for a company called future space. It works with artists trying to build installation using technology. The speakers above are spaced out all around the room for a better sound quality and a sound system.

This is a project in the works.

This is the entrance of the studio space made with rubber and stained wood.

The glasses are customised to give it more of a green tint to it. The sandstone is local and cut into various shapes and pieces.

THE NYC MARKET

The bricks of the NYC market are assembled in a pattern making it unique from the surrounding buildings.

AESOP

Aesop has a unique interior. The walls are made os stacked up paper that has oxidised and become pale in colour giving the space a vintage look. The paper has two effective qualities to it. One, it created and enclose sound space, making it easy for the voices to be clear and loud. Two, keeps the smell to a limited space, making the space smell fresh at all times. The shelves are made up of plywood.

THE NEW MUSEUM

The new museum is made of expanded metal mesh which is later painted with white paint. If closely seen its not a continous metal sheet and in fact is broken down into smaller squares and assembled. The aluminium expands with heat and makes a mesh type of a design.

NOLITAN

These are the interior pictures of Nolitan. The interiors are decorated and constructed with various types of materials. The structure is made of concrete and leveled up with metal sheets like seen in picture three. The furniture is made either from wood, metal or glass.

SEX AND THE CITY MUSEUM

This is the exterior architecture of the Sex and The City Museum. The Square panels are made of concrete and bordered with steel panels. The panels shift with the force of wind like seen in the first image. There are also windows made up of reflective coloured glass.

I included the coloured background as a part of the image.The negative spaces in both the images have a reason to be displayed in that way. In the first image, I chose to use a brown shade with an undertone of yellow as the background as it has a touch of gloominess and as this photograph was taken in the park, it also portrayed the outdoors. The first image which portrays loneliness has a bunch of cropped parts from the original black and white image that are placed in very different patterns and in a way infuses the concept of groups. A lot of times an individual is left out in the making of groups that gives a sense of loneliness. Each group in the photo shopped image corroborates with the object and patterns in the original picture. The bricks are placed in alternate direction, which also got me to position the crop outs in a similar way. The colored spaces in between the groups define an unseen line that makes each batch separate from each other. Even with various clusters I kept in mind to show the real essence of the image and still to a certain extent showed what is happening in the photograph. The second image is based on interaction between different bodies. The parrot green colour on the background spreads out positivity and happiness. In this photograph you can see a man with a helping hand, giving out materials and food to the needy. I did not engage in making patterns for this one and made a similar layout to demonstrate equality between the classes. Even the diagonal crop outs join to the others around it. If closely seen, the very significant individuals in the image are not distracted by the spaces between the cut outs and have their faces fully shown. I didthis to show central subject in the image.

RENDERS

Journal Entry

Caribbean Agate

Cement based

Thick, flat slab of concrete that incorporates translucent acrylic within the structure, creating a juxtaposition of two contrasting materials in the same sheet. 100% acrylic resin is used to fill holes within a glass fiber reinforced cement (GFRC) that have been created during the casting process. The GFRC itself has a high compressive strength and excellent flexural and tensile strength achieved by a high concentration of fibres that carry the tensile loads, while a high polymer content provides toughness. The acrylic that has been cast in the mold holes provides translucency.

Patterned Fabric Composites

Process

This is a material that can fit into any shape or size which is interesting. Resin-impregnated open mesh composites with intricately woven patterns that can be engineered for specific performance. The textile patterning technology allows a myriad of yarn types and weights that are impregnated with a rigid (or potentially flexible) thermoset resin. The patterned, linked, and interlaced fabric offers an alternative to standard braids and knitted materials, yielding flexible and breathable composite structures. Fabrics can ‘shape-shift’ accurately and evenly over mandrels and shaping tools through tension distribution.

Green macadamia nut shell board

Naturals

Wall panels that use waste macadamia nut shells for decorative effect and sound absorption. Waste macadamia nut shell is combined with between 10 and 60% unmodified cashew nut shell liquid from the cashew nut industry that is classified as agricultural waste. This liquid acts as a binder. The resin and nutshells are combined in a mold and mixed with a fire retardant chemical; the mixture chemically cures in the mold at room temperature. The material is removed from the mold and can be bonded to an MDF or other panel to allow easy fixture to a wall or other surface.
