Outside vs Inside

/in , , /by

I started to read about the creators of the building, the architects, what was their idea and concept, and i remembered the time when i was still student in architecture, my professor was always insisting about the connexion between the exterior and the interior of any construction.

And because of my first impression about this one, about the empty space surrounding it, i started to do some research to find the best way to complement what was in my opinion missing.

How to make my idea fit in the project, i started by making the iglou like a spot for the student to gather in, talk, Meat, Eat, …

After that i made the green spaces for tree’s, arbust, ..some bench’s, Lampost’s and sconce’s ( from the library) in the final with all put together, i decided to go with night vue, i added some light’s and started to twick the settings for the final rendering.

I could do better than this one, time is sketchy, if I had to do something differently, it would be taking the time to manage my textures, lightning, and render settings, but I think I would keep the concept.

The chosen building was a pleasurable challenge to begin with. It was because it had a lot of details that gave the overall view of the building a simple facade with a lot in it.

I’ve started the modeling in Archicad (it is easier to scale and work with blueprints) where i modeled only the base form of the building. After that it was a smooth workflow in 3ds Max because you already have the proportions that you need.

Of course the wooden panels were a tricky material to make. Ive combined wood textures with dirt maps to give the look of the existing aged facade.
I decided not to make big changes in environment, just small ones so it fits the image of a well kept garden.

The mood i wanted to achieve was a nice summer morning. It is a time that gives exciting feeling of a beautiful warm day.

I would like to thank ronen and tomorrow team for this opportunity, and good luck to everyone.

I was prompted to this topic – in the process. I think the building is very unusual, it looks like an alien.
Color solution: alien light – yellow-green, red and the atmosphere in contrast to it to create impressions going. Red atmosphere can only be at sunset or on another planet – I think it’s a great, fun place to interpret Tham & Videgård’s Art Museum in Sweden.
