Crysis Draft



SketchUp Drafts

Draft dining table.



Draft elevators.


Draft bridge.

Only the "lighted" part of the bridge has been completed, the office spaces are yet to be done.

Draft bridge with the amalgamated perspectives to show how the bridge was abstracted.

The 'web' of lights acting in tension pulling at each end of the bridge.

Bridge Sketch

Draft sketches of the bridge. Abstracted from the amalgamated model in which every part relies on every other part. Every part works with each other to maintain a balance. There is sense of dependency for each side/client to pull their weight.

Crysis Draft





Continued Experimentation

Not very good quality scanning but you can see the general idea of the overall landscape and a few other doodles to help stimulate a design for the bridge. The idea behind the two elevators are two magnets which revolve around each other and rely on each other to progress. The images are snapshots from the movie X-Men II directed by Bryan Singer.

Dining Table

Continuing the idea of the synergy between the two clients as well as emphasising on the infinite limit to media, technology and creativity. 


SketchUp Draft Model

The amalgamation of three sketches to produce a complex form that explores the synergy between two tremendously influential people, Jonathan Ive and Lady Gaga. Each individual inadvertently relies on the other; Jonathan Ive provides a huge source of media sharing and interaction while Lady Gaga produces experiential forms of art that is crucial to the Apple empire.

Crysis Valley

The intended lanscape is to be an artificial landscape inspired by the heavily lighted New York City and London; home towns of Lady Gaga and Jonathan Ive respectively. The concept of the landscape was inspired by the project done by a group called Touch. More information can be found at about them here: http://www.nearfield.org/projects





Mashup

Power is the ability to change something. It is the ability to create something that is somewhere between reality and fantasy at all times. It is the ability to do something that has some consequence, that changes the way people look at things. It is the ability to be committed to the principles of goodness and generosity. It is the ability to create something unanimously beautiful and significant.
