Finished Wall Display

Here's my 4 A0 boards. I'm still not 100% happy with the process, and there are a few areas of white that I found difficult to fill but overall I'm reasonably happy.

Wall Display

Just under a week to go now. Here's the first full mock up of the wall display, still missing a few things though. I've already had feedback on the layout and colour scheme so I'll be moving things round a bit so it flows better.

Revised Aerial View



This will be the final aerial view showing everything in context. I've used a real mixed media approach to this image, there's a full colour render, cad lines, hand drawing and photoshop all combined and fading in and out with one another

Night Render



Here's a quick test of what the building might be like at night, using individual lamps to illuminate the columns around the lock, and pick up the texture of the existing stone.

I'm not quite sure if I'll put it on the final boards because the colours just don't go with the rest of the presentation, which has a light, hand drawn quality.

Perspective Section take 2

I've updated the section by overlaying a hand drawing over the original CAD lines. Whilst this works well to give a more natural feeling rather than the very clinical CAD, I really can't decide which is better. Feel free to vote!

Elevations

Elevations are practically done now, just need to play around with the background and context buildings, might have to bite the bullet and knock up a rudimentary design for the masterplan buildings, probably based on Clarence Dock. If there's time I may also overlay the elevations with some hand drawing to match the rest of my presentation.







Aerial View



Quick update today, this is the improved aerial view. It merges a coloured computer model with hand drawn sketches and will be one of the main presentation images. I wonder whether I would be better off doing a visual from ground level rather than a bird's eye view?

Perspective Section

This section was based on the key section drawn for the technical report, with an added perspective drawing incorporated behind it showing the spaces. On the final boards this will be used to illustrate the canal water cooling concept. The drawing isn't quite finished yet but it's well on the way.

Axo

I'm spending this week getting all the 3D drawings done. Perspective section and aerial view will be coming along soon, but for the time being here's an exploded axo showing the interior spaces. I think this will work well placed directly alongside the plans, as they use the same colour scheme.
