CABINS / Fairuz.Hod : Primitive Shed

/2 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

I just knew, the synonyms for cabins includes the words amongst others includes shanty shack, shed, bothy, shieling, shiel, but and ben; cabana; tilt; mia-mia, gunyah, humpy; whare; hok; archaiccot; archaicshebang. quite funny no?
That aside, my concept derives and inspired by the architecture of thom mayne of morphosis architect and wes jones architect. whilst mostly inspired by the latter architecture and small habitat design.

” how robotics or hi tech the cabins is today will become primitive tomorrow rite? ” :
the proposal consist of a mix between raw materialism, hi tech materials and deconstructivsm. The word primitive and robotics is the biggest narratives here as the cabins is an ever evolving, adapting to its surrounding and environment, adding new or old, nature/raw materials to its constructions, expansions and adaptability to the site , perhaps redefining a new semiotics for how a cabin habitat evolves.

Site context may take the ethereal landscapes of the north such as Tromso, Lofoten or even iceland.

CABINS / Auxey : MARTIAN WOODEN CABINS

We use to see high level technology and special high end materials, sterile stuffs,etc.. when it’s about space travel and colonies on Mars. All of this is so disconnected to our reality, that it’s a bit scary I Think. Why ? Because we are definitely attached to our home called Earth, attached to The trees, the lakes, seas, wind, wood,etc..
My goal is to create a paradoxal picture combining the subject of the challenge : A cabin , which i imagine to be in wood,some Earth vegetation in the planet Mars environment.It’s a kind of transposition of the earthly life on Mars because, Finally it’s the human fatality: We would be ready to leave the earth but never without taking away some of it !

Following on from my initial concept I have created a couple more mood boards and explored some basic model sketches.

I have decided to go down the direction of creating a contemporary cabin inspired by my initial concept idea based around a firewatch lookout tower.

My mood boards mainly focus on materials and shapes, I like to keep it simple in the early stages so I can block out ideas and concentrate on the overall form of the structure.

I find it easier to “sketch” or block out ideas straight into 3dsMax, this technique allows me to create and explore different forms very quickly.

The location will be in the real world in java, but some modify will be made if needed. The environment take place on paddy/rice field with a river at the bottom of it.

The main software i’ll use is 3ds Max, with supporting software like world machine, GrowFx for creating vegetation, and render with vray.

The cabin design will improve and developed more along the creation of the environment. The cabin design main concept will be fit with the terraced environment.

This is my first huge project i ever made, so i’ll try my best to make it great.

CABINS / Joshua Fisher : Pacific Northwest Gorge Living Cabin

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

I live, work, and play in the Pacific Northwest of America. I’m fortunate to be so close to beautiful landscapes ranging from rocky coasts with dramatic cliffs and beaches, to rainforests, mountains, farm country, deserts, and urban environments mixed in all of it. Most of the professional work I do is typically done in urban environments and this cabins challenge provides a great excuse to imagine, create, and design a project nestled in a scenic PNW coastal forest landscape – something I haven’t yet been able to create or work on.

This concept is inspired by the idea of imagining an awesome basecamp/weekend getaway cabin integrated in a gorge right on a stream that is fed by a waterfall. A challenge to be sure and one that will force me to test my abilities and learn new techniques to recreate the wide range of elements from mossy, fern covered cliffs, to pine forests, and streams with fallen logs, rocks, and ferns.

I’m excited to build on the programs I already know and use and see how far I can push them – all while working full time and having a family. 🙂
