SKETCHUP PROCESS

                         USING SKETCHUP IN MAKING A DIGITAL MODEL

                            OF TALENT MAGNIFIQUE ART GALLERY


Sketchup is a digital software that enables students as well as professionals in the stem industry to create designs of homes, schools, offices and other commercial buildings. Relying only on hand sketches in this digitalized era will make you standard as well as having a limited range of skills. Therefore, I included SketchUp in the process of creating my final outcomes. I acquired beginner skills in SketchUp last term after I practiced with basic elements. To take it up a notch, I planned to design a stacked Architecture building with a fusion of pop art.



I began by drawing the foundation of the Art Gallery using the rectangle tool on the tool panel 



To draw the ground floor, I also used the rectangle tool, afterwards, I used the enlarging tool to make the flat 2D shapes into 3D shapes.







This aspect was quite tricky. To create the curved shapes on the sides, I used the two-point arc tool. To get the right shape I wanted it took me several tries but I managed to complete it. To draw the rectangular glass shapes on the right side, I used the line tool to create triangles then I stretched it to match the length of the main building. 






I continued the initial process of drawing the shapes and enlarging them to fit the scale. This process was stressful because I kept repeating the same mistakes over again but I managed to gain a grip of it. At this point the main outlook of the Art Gallery was complete.







The next couple of steps involved me adding in the respective colours according to the Marylin Dypitch painting made by Andy Warhol. I also added features such as a car park, an Open roof terrace, and two parking spaces. Of the parking spaces, one is designated for disabled individuals and the other for customers without disabilities
. To aid disabled individuals gain easy access to the building, I made an entrance for disabled individuals.

 To conclude on my SketchUp chapter for this term, I am content with the progress I made. I was able to take my beginner skills and mould them to an intermediate level. Hopefully, next term I will improve my 3D modelling abilities to reach my full potential.

                                                                INTRODUCTION         Hi, welcome to Mani's Cosmos. My name is Manuela Boaduwa Xose Mantey .I am an Art and Design student at De Montfort International College and I will further my studies with a bachelor's degree in Architecture.  I have a keen interest in art and the design about buildings, artworks portraits amongst others. This blog will be based on topics related to the architecture field as well as how I will maneuver my way around the use of a variety of digital software                                                              Any Architect can draw and design a building and with the help of Engineers, these buildings can become a reality. However, to produce sophisticated structures, not every Architect is capable of this.   However, there are a few Architects who have made a mark in the Architecture world by producing abstract and astonishing building designs. Some of these Architects are Frank Lloyd W

INITIAL RESEARCH: ATELIERS JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE

                                 JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE This post is mainly an expansion of my previous post regarding my idea generation. The Social Housing sector demands precision and the ability to experiment with varying ideas. Hence, this task I would say was coincidentally given to me to challenge me and pull me out of my comfort zone.  For this blog, I will conduct research into Jean Nouvel who was and still is one of the most influential and creative Architects France birthed.  JEAN NOUVEL  Jean Nouvel was born in the year 1945 in Fumel, France. After he enrolled at the Ecol des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, he obtained the first position in the entrance exam due to his high intellect and intelligence in the year 1966. He then went on to further his undergraduate studies and obtained his degree in the year 1971.  He began his professional career in 1970 after he became an assistant to Claude Parent and was inspired by urban planner and essayist Paul Virilio. He then became one o
