Final submission

For the assignment2, building after 100 years. I concentrate on my building will crash by the water.

DRAFT MODEL

This the first the step of this assignment. There are some render pictures without textures I will post some render pictures with textures later.

SKETCHES AND MODEL

SKETCHES


Five movies trailers

MOVIE ONE:
THIS TRAILER WAS ABOUT A DURING THE EARTHQUAKE IN TANGSHAN IN 1976. THE MOVIE SHOWS A GREAT CATCH UP AND MOVING THROUGHOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.


MOVIE TWO:

THIS MOVIE WAS TALKED ABOUT AFTER NEARLY 100 YEARS FIGHTING WITH HIGH IQ REBORT. MAYBE THIS WILL GIVE ME SOME PERFECT IDEAS LIKE HOW TO MAKE A 100 YEARS LATER ENVIRONMENT.


MOVIE THREE:

THIS SHORT TRAILER WAS TALKED ABOUT A 100 YEARS OF HISTORY. OLD THINGS ALWAYS TOLD ME THE TIME WITHOUT HIGH TECHNOLOGIES, ONLY THE NATURE.



MOVIE FOUR:
MOVIE FOUR IS GIVE THE INFORMATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK. THE ENVIRONGMENT AND THE NATURE THINGS AND THE SURROUNDING WILL HELP ME A LOT.


MOVIE FIVE:
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. IT IS A BIG DISASTER OF THE WORLD. EVERYTHING WAS BROKEN DOWN. NOTHING ON THE EARTH. I THINK IT WILL HELP ME TO CATCH THE THEME.

week-02 Materials properties and progress


Properties:
Concrete has relatively high compressive strength, but significantly lower tensile strength and as such is usually reinforced with materials that are strong in tension (often steel). The elasticity of concrete is relatively constant at low stress levels but starts decreasing at higher stress levels as matrix cracking develops. Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep.
 
Concrete would almost always fail from tensile stresses – even when loaded in compression. The practical implication of this is that concrete elements subjected to tensile stresses must be reinforced with materials that are strong in tension.

Concrete can also be prestressed (reducing tensile stress) using internal steel cables (tendons), allowing for beams or slabs with a longer span than is practical with reinforced concrete alone. Inspection of concrete structures can be non-destructive if carried out with equipment such as a Schmidt hammer, which is used to estimate concrete strength.


GLASS:


Properties:
Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material. Glasses are typically brittle and optically transparent.

The most familiar type of glass, used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels, is soda-lime glass, composed of about 75% silica (SiO2) plus sodium oxide Na2O from soda ash, lime CaO, and several minor additives. Often, the term glass is used in a restricted sense to refer to this specific use.

Most common glass has other ingredients added to change its properties. Lead glass or flint glass is more 'brilliant' because the increased refractive index causes noticeably more specular reflection and increased optical dispersion. Adding barium also increases the refractive index. Thorium oxide gives glass a high refractive index and low dispersion and was formerly used in producing high-quality lenses, but due to its radioactivity has been replaced by lanthanum oxide in modern eye glasses Iron can be incorporated into glass to absorb infrared energy, for example in heat absorbing filters for movie projectors, while cerium(IV) oxide can be used for glass that absorbs UV wavelengths.


MARBLE:
 


Properties:

One of important properties of marble is understood from its name — from Greek, 'marmaros' means «a brilliant stone». It is the property of marble to change in beams of the sun, to be new to an eye every time, unique play of light that drew attention of ancient Greeks to this material, and caused them to erect dozens of temples of it, to make statues so graceful and plastic that we admire it hundreds years later.

Moreover, marble possesses a lot of properties due to which it remains one the most popular natural building materials:

Convenience of processing. Marble is plastic and easily polishing. It is viscous and strong enough, therefore it does not break at once, allowing cutting products of various forms;

Durability. The first signs of white marble ageing appear only after 100-150 years;

Water resistance. Water absorption factor of marble is low (0.08-0.12 %), so it can be used for finishing of bathrooms, pools, fountains.

Frost resistance. Marble practically does not absorb moisture — therefore, there will be no microcracks from liquid freezing under low temperatures. Products of marble can be used safely in cold premises;

Thermostability. Heat does not influence on marble, so it can be used for fireplaces or to finishing of premises, where temperatures essentially exceed usual temperature;

Ecological compatibility. Marble is classified as a first class material by its level of natural radio-activity, and it can be applied in construction of all types of objects. Being a natural material, it is porous and is capable of «breathing» — it creates a favourable microclimate in a room;

Universality. Both large elements of an interior — ladders, wall panels, columns, and finer, and decorative details — table-tops, window sills, figurines, vases can be made of marble.

week-01 houses and 3dsmax and in cryengine



The Barcelona Pavilion designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. This building was used for the official opening of the German section of the exhibition. It is an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and its spectacular use of extravagant materials, such as marble, red onyx and travertine. The same features of minimalism and spectacular can be applied to the prestigious furniture specifically designed for the building, among which the iconic Barcelona chair.





Located in a village at the limit of France and Switzerland (Leymen), was one of the earliest works of Herzog & de Meuron, conducted for the art gallery owner Hanspeter Rudin.
At first glance one might say that the shape and external appearance is a very typical home, as we imagined a house in our childhood: the waters of two roof, windows and doors and a great big fireplace. The roof is nothing more than a roof, walls, and both are simple walls forming a single plane where they have perversely doors and windows.










The house in Bordeaux has been designed for a family of parents and three children, but with a purpose.
The client, Jean Francois Lemoine, was paralyzed as a result of an automobile accident and wanted a home that could meet their own needs and at the same time it was a home for the whole family: a solution that combines two parallel lives. The building should not be a house for a disabled person, quite a diverse and amazing universe, a creative scenario in which developed most of his days.

Final submission

 
the strategy of the Island
 
the combination I have used in Experiment1 is N2.I hve fixed it several times to make it looks like N2 and make it more realistic
