CABINS / JamieHolmes : Inside Out Part 2

/5 Comments/in , , , , , /by

I have taken my low poly mesh I created for my concept images into Zbrush and let loose. I have reworked it 5 times now as I keep adding new pieces. I’m still not convinced with the overall shape yet but I think its getting there. I have also been playing around with some of the Megascan textures for the rock surface. For the side walls of the Cave I am also using the Megascans Granite cliff mesh. Its been a little difficult getting the tree to cliff ratio I am after. I am using Forest Pro to scatter the trees. The other shader I have been working on is the water. That’s basically it so far.

CABINS / arturo : Titan 2099

Our proposal idea comes from the opportunity of immaging and dreaming of a forthcoming future scenario where interplanetary trips are not only possible but also beneficial. This, not just to escape from any likelihood Earth catastrofy, but as alternative of a conscious humankind.
According to the lastest research carried out by NASA/ESA/ASI, Titan’s features – Saturn’s principal satellite – are ideal for establishing autonomous colonies and at the same time remote outposts for Universe studies.
Moving from Science to Science Finction, we have envisaged a humanity capable of performing holiday trips to Saturn’s satellites.
Our design proposal is based on habitat-modules built with large glazed surfices (on Titan the sun light is definitely lighter than that one on the Earth) that integrate mini green-houses containing gardens. From these modules will be possible to enjoy the view of “Lingea Sea” (one of the satelate’s largest lakes made by liquid methane and ethane) and its golden haze, the immensity of Saturn cut out over the skyline and the other innumerable satelates from ‘The Lord of the Rings’, like Enceladus, Tethys and Dione.

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.
