Week 1 - First Attempt of 3ds Animation

The first attempt of a 3ds animation

Looking at the result of my animation, a lot of tweaking needs to be done to the design and lighting of the architecture because edges, corners etc are very unclear. Animation wise, I think for a first time it’s not too bad. It isn’t so hard to create the animation. More time however needed to focus on texture, lighting and rendering.

Week 1 - Object 2 : MAXXI

Based on the abstraction of the building through the pictures
Approach: recurring shapes (curving loops)
Made by folding, cutting and slitting paper to create loop figures.

Week 1 - Folded Object 1: Burnham Pavillion

Based on the abstraction of the building through the pictures
Approach: spatially, structurally, surface.
Paper  fold reference: http://origami.island-three.net/boat.html

In order to create the boat shape, I followed these instructions

Week 1 - Zaha Hadid - MAXXI: Museum of XXI Century Arts

MAXXI: Museum of XXI Century Arts, Rome, Itally
30,000m²
MAXXI supercodes the notion of the museum as ‘object’ or – presenting a field of buildings accessable to all, with no firm boundary between what is ‘within’ and what is ‘without’. Central to this new reality are confluent lines – walls intersecting and separating to create interior and exterior spaces.


Composition and Concept
MAXXI integrated itself with its surrounds, through the flow of its walls it defines major streams (the galleries) and minor streams (interconnections and bridges) in a L-shaped footprint which in this context becomes ‘liberation’ – a freedom to bundle, twist and turn though existing buildings.
MAXXI expresses itself through glass, steel and cement – delighting in neutrality, achieving great curatorial flexibility and variety. To wander through, to experience this place – these places – is the encounter constantly changing vistas and surprises.

Week 1: Zaha Hadid - Burnham Pavillion

Burnham Plan Centennial, Chicago, Usa
Year: 2009
Site: 500m²
Footprint: 200m²
Pavillion designed and erected in Chicago’s Millenium Park as part of the Burnham Plan celebrations reflecting the tradition of embracing the cutting edge architecture in an intricate but fluid structure that incorporates hidden traces of Burnham and Bennett’s original 1909 plans to redevelop the city.


Composition and Concept
Intricate bent-aluminium frame shaped and welded to create a unique curvilinear form.
Outer and inner fabrics wrapped tightly around the interior frame to create a distinctively fluid shape. The skins also serve as screens for video installations.
Designed and built to maximize recycling and re-use of materials to be reused in other locations.
