Valleys

In geology, a valley or dale is a depression with predominant extent in one direction. A very deep river valley may be called a canyon or gorge.

18 Initial One-Point Perspectives

MASHUP OF 3 NEWS ARTICLES

MIRANDA KERR commands the catwalk she walks; HER face has flooded the fashion world. Helen Keller, overcame blindness and deafness to become a symbol of the indomitable human spirit. Angela Merkel became the first female chancellor of Germany in 2005.

Kerr's vision of reality is a working whirlwind of six days and up to three countries a week. "I just live in the moment and enjoy every step along the way." Her tremendous accomplishments and the force of assertive personality that underlay them were released through Mother Nature. This runway role model is a phenomenon in the supermodel and fashion world.

Miss Keller always seemed to be standing before the world as an example of unquenchable will. She excelled in school and loved being in nature, being outdoors and amongst nature. She exercised patience to overcome difficult circumstances. Miss Keller learned to circumvent her blindness, deafness and muteness, and she was in and of the world a full and happy participant in life.

Mrs. Merkel was the first eastern German to lead the country after its reunification following the fall of the Berlin Wall. "It can be a little overwhelming, but I try and embrace it while I can." Merkel was honored by universities and institutions throughout the world as her hunger for knowledge was insatiable. She has emerged as a leading political actor in Europe.

"I trudge on, I gain a little. I feel encouraged. I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see widening horizons."

CRYSIS WARS LEVELS AND OBJECTS FOLDER IN FILEFRONT

http://www.filefront.com/16332299/3330020%20Objects%20and%20Levels.zip

3330020_levels_07 is the model in the night time with artificial lighting.
3330020_levels_08 is the model in the day time with natural lighting.

5 REAL TIME IMAGE CAPTURES SHOWING A CRYSIS WARS ENVIRONMENT

These are the 2 axonometric drawings with 5 rectangular prisms that were used to create the final result.

This is the final axonometric sketch containing 9 rectangular prisms.

Electroliquid Aggregation: "The problem of the origin of the universe is a bit like the question: Which came first: low tech environments that need assistance, or high tech processes such as solar cells which gives assistance?"

The origin of the universe is represented by the low landscapes while the high-tech and low-tech environments are highlighted through Kuepper's side of the structure (the high and low poles). The top texture symbolises solar cells.

Image 1: Hawking's lab on the left and Kuepper's lab on the right. The meeting point is highlighted by the patch of sunlight. The shadows of Kuepper's side of the structure appear as high-rise buildings symbolising the high-tech society that can give assistance to the low-tech environments.

The meeting place is portrayed by the sunlight shone through the hole in Hawking's side of the structure. The placement has been chosen intentionally as it highlights the meeting point using the sun's natural lighting.

Image 2: Scale of the structure. This image also shows Hawking's ramp and the view from the meeting point.

Kuepper has to go through a long curved tunnel as I thought this passage would represent her tenacity and perseverance towards her own research. Hawking's ramp is much simpler as he is on a wheelchair.

Image 3: The lighting effects of the night time. Hawking's lab is illuminated in such a way to represent outer space and the universe. The cave that Kuepper has to go through is also visible from the lighting that appears from the cliff.

Image 4: The bridge that Kuepper has to cross after going through the cave.

Image 5: The overall view of the landscape. The building is placed below the surrounding land symbolise that low-tech environments need assistance from surrounding people.

Other Images From Final Design

Image 1: The sunlight shone through Hawking's lab.

Image 2: The textures used.

Image 3: An entrance to the cave that Kuepper needs to go through to reach the meeting point.

Image 4: Side elevation of structure at night with artificial lighting.

Image 5: Hawking's ramp and the three textures.

Textures Used In Model

LIGHT: This texture was used at the top parts of the structure to represent solar cells and Nicole Kuepper's research.

MEDIUM: This texture was used around the middle of the structure to symbolise the two clients meeting with each other and intertwining their ideas with each other.

DARK: This texture was used around the bottom of the structure and also in Hawking's lab. It represents heaviness and solidity.

Final Intersected Axonometrics

These axonometric drawings were my ideas for the creation of the final interconnected 9 rectangular prisms.
