Week 1: Sketch & SketchUp

Projects

The two projects I have chosen, a pair of earrings and a stool, originate from 'Mountain and Moon' and 'Trent Jansen Studio' respectively.

The earrings can be found on the 'Mountain and Moon' website, and are labelled the 'PALAIS Earrings'. The stool originates from one of Trent Jansen's recent exhibitions, called the 'POROSITY KABARI', held in the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery between the 18th of October and the 1st of December 2019.

Sketch & SketchUp

The below sketch and SketchUp model are intended for the following clients: 'Mountain and Moon' and 'Trent Jansen Studio'.

Consisting of three levels (below-ground, ground and above-ground), the architecture represents a work space for client 1 (Mountain and Moon) above-ground, in which the design for the project of the 'PALAIS Earrings' will be inspired by the dome-like environment. Below-ground is a work space for client 2 (Trent Jansen Studio) to create their stool in an asymmetric environment.

The space in-between is the ground level in which the clientele will come together to express their work in a shared show-room.


The Two Words

The two words I used to represent the model were as follows: 
Adjective Client 1: Geodetic
Adjective Client 2: Prismatic


Geodetic and Prismatic

Section of SketchUp model: Geodetic and Prismatic

Material

The material of the above-ground level is brass, as the metal used to create the PALAIS earring is a brass base metal. The material for ground level is glass to allow a complete show-room experience to both interior and exterior viewers. The material of the below-ground level is a metal which has been rusted as a consequence of underground corrosion, similar to the rusted recycled metal of the stool.
