Reflection

The combination of elements to make a whole is a strong theme in the Morphosis firm, this is evident through some of their buildings such as the Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank and the Diamond Ranch High School. My convergence of 3d model is influenced by the Morphosis group itself through their representation of 3d models where they show it in a exploded perspective and the form of the Hypo bank being layered shown through materials. My paper model and 3d model is greatly influenced on the representation of 'explode' shown by the sharpness of the building coming out in different directions as if it had no control.

Morphosis

This semester i have chosen Morphosis as a my architect. What caught my attention about Morphosis is how he uses layered forms in his designs having previously done research on layered forms in a different subject, this is a great opportunity to expand my knowledge on this type of design form.

 Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank - an example of mophosis layered forms. 


I found the idea of different elements used to make a whole interesting as mentioned in the lecture, the morphosis firm demonstrates this well through some of their buildings. i want this idea to be a major focus combined with layered forms to be a main part of my work for this assignment.

four towers in one - California - a digital representation created by Morphosis for a competition, this is a great example of the combination of both a layered form and a combined element to make a whole. Moprhosis also experiments with interconnection.

Paper Models

The first paper model i did as a abstraction of the digital model four towers in one. i tried to show interconnection through different angles when taking the picture. 

Paper Model 2

The 2nd paper model i used the word 'explode' as my main focus because of how the firm morphosis represents their models by exploding them in different pieces.
