WEEK 6: 500 WORD TEXT

Creature Profile

Name: Yourlazy

Scientific Name: Ehen en Lazy

Species: Arachnid/Mammal

Life expectance: 13 years

Diet: Productivity

Native to: North America

Number in this habitat: 27

Description: The Yourlazy is an extremely vicious creature which lives in the shadows of the real world. It survives using its multiple fangs to suck the productivity out of unexpecting prey. Before 1950 there had never been any evidence of the existence of the Yourlazy. Suggestions of the creatures existence only appeared with the wide spread adaptation of television in the Western world, particularly the United States of America. At the time the creature was more of a myth than a real creature. Stories of strange bit marks appearing on ones limbs after extended periods of watching television began to circulate among the public. It was not until the introduction of highly heat sensitive infrared cameras in the late 1960s that the existence of the creature was justified. It took almost 20 years for the creature to be better understood by scientists. This was mainly due to the creature being miraculously difficult to capture as it moves at extremely high speeds, only very rarely standing still. Towards the late 1980 the creature’s presence in societies around the world was being felt. The Yourlazy’s population had increased by 300% since its first discovery. With the introduction of the internet in the mid 1990s the population began a rapid expansion, one which scientists had never seen before. By 2008 it was estimated that the world wide population of the Yourlazy had reached 100,000,000,000 (One Hundred Billion). In Australia this was estimated to be 40,000,000 (Forty million), or four times the population human.

Where is the creature?

The Yourlazy moves at extremely high speeds. It is the fastest ground animal known to man. It is capable of moving at almost the speed of sound. Scientists are not completely sure how the creature achieves this as no fast shutter camera is fast enough to capture the movement of its legs, making it difficult to study. The Yourlazy does however stand still on occasion. If you look very closely at a one meter square for a period of 10-15 mins you will be able to catch a glimpse of the creature!

The Habitat

This habitat has been specially designed for Yourlazy. Since the creature does not have a defined habitat of its own, scientists had to computer generate this one. The design takes into account the creatures desire to dwell in the shadows while also providing entertainment. Although it may appear slightly dull and poorly designed a first the Habitat has actually been carefully colourized to suit what the creature night desire. Dark, unwelcoming, hostile colours are used to make the creature feel as if it is in the shadows all the time. The purple ROCKCLOUDS above your head are actually carefully configured lighting which is very unpleasant for humans but highly favoured by the Yourlazy.

OUCH!

Careful, this habitat has been designed so that the creature can ‘feed’ on its observers. You may leave this habitat feeling tired and unproductive.

WEEK 5 INDEPENDENT STUDY: DRAFT POSTER DESIGN

WEEK 5 INDEPENDENT STUDY: ZAHA HADID

Zaha Hadid is an Iraqi born architect currently living & working in Britain. She studies Mathematics at the American University of Beirut before studying Architecture at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. Hadid has won numerous international competitions, some of which were initially never built. She is known fot here intense, avant-grade, sometimes deconstructivist designs which are “theoretically influential and groundbreaking”. She was a partner in the Office of Metropolitan Architecture with Rem Koolhaas before opening here own practice – Zaha Hadid Architects. Zaha Hadid Architeis now employs more than 350 people and has it’s headquarters in London, Britain.

Hadid has a particular digital representation style which tends to be quite dark and distinctly separate from the real world. She uses digitally rendered images and videos to represent the buildings she designs.

LONDON AQUATICS CENTRE

Legacy Mode

Olympic Mode

The concept behind the London Aquatic Centre was to create a building inspired by the fluid geometry of water in motion. The aim was to create spaces and a surrounding environment in harmony with the river landscape of the Olympic Park. The roof of the building “sweeps” from the ground as if it were a wave in the ocean - enclosing the pools of the centre in the process. The roof itself is 160m long and expands to be 90m wide and is completely columns, instead supported by concrete supports on each end; one of which is 28m long and 5m wide. The centre has been designed to accommodate for two different modes – Olympic and Legacy. Under Olympic mode the centre has additional grandstand capacity attached while Legacy mode is the centre with these additional sitting requirements removed; ensuring the centre will have a functional usage after the 2010 London Olympics.

The visual representation of the styles of architectural representation are very bright and colourful, differing significantly from Hadid's personal style which tends to be quite dark. The usage of full environment digital renders with photomontaged people highlights only the elements which the architect is showcasing (surrounding buildings are left plain). Although quite a complex building, the centre is significantly explained in the various angle shots of the site with size being measured in reference to individuals in the shots. The section and plans also contribute to the understanding of the building.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENCE

The project brief called for a family house looking over the Pacific Ocean. Hadid’s answer was to implement as structure with an introverted sculptural quality which opens up towards the ocean and an internal courtyard. “The powerful dichotomy between intimacy and exposure is evident in the extreme”. The design is characterised by tension arising between straight and curved surfaces of the building which converge at the parameter into a softer dynamic. This allows fot the dramatic opening to reveal the ocean beyond to occur.

“The introverted sculptural geometry of the house is closely nested in its adjacencies. The landscape design follows the language of the building, demarcating the entrance and leading the visitor in a continuous movement from the outside to the interior.”

The visual representation of the styles of architectural representation is quite dark and aligned with much of Hadid's other work. The digital renders are photomontaged into the environment which has been darkened to align with the style of the building
