4 BLOCKS CONCEPT WITH SKETCHUP

-

  SKETCHUP DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS


Sketchup is no stranger to me as I began using it during the Digital Art module in November 2023. 
Because my sketches and outcomes were mostly based on block A, I wanted to also show 
how the three other blocks would fit into the plan. 



I began by laying out the land on which the buildings would be built. Afterwards, I used the rectangle tool to draw each of the four blocks. This was followed by me expanding them from a 2d plane to create a 3-dimensional shape. 




                            I applied the same process here till I had built all the floors required


Bear in mind that Block A has 6 floors in total whilst the other 3 have 5. After completing the main shapes I then began to add colours and put in the glass windows using the tool tray. This was not difficult as I already know the basics of sketch up. I repeated the same process for the other blocks till I completed it 



Alas, I had completed my SketchUp development. To recreate a grass landscape I added green textures. Overall I am satisfied with the outcome because it resembles my sketches. The only annoying aspect was the fact that SketchUp kept closing unexpectedly and freezing but I managed to complete it.

                                                                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

                                 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
