finally, finished

a change*

for the last journal: interstice,
i didn't know what i was supposed to do because it seems to be hard to relate to architecture.

from wiki dictionary:
"An interstitial space or interstice is an empty space or gap between spaces full of structure or matter."

this cunfused me until today when i finally found this:

since i cant find a better way to express "interstices"other than making gaps and tiny enclosed space in my buildings( which i dont want), maybe this could be another interpretation.??( i hope)

just adding 1 more pic *

further development 2

putting in my "alpha channel"texture,
as a "screen".
i have abandoned the 19prim sofa and replaced it with 2 prim furnitures.



bookshelves and desk on 2nd floor.
this will be the main office, need to add a chair.



made a door that can rotate using the 3greeneggs.com website

looking from outside.

my neighbour dingle asked if it was alright if we build a platform together so we can share a small garden.

i made the waterfall so it links to my journal.
finally have a front door.

further development

i rotated the whole office - looks way better like this..

gives a better view too.(facing the sea)

finally adding a roof gor the design

and after adding the roof i realised that with dark coloured walls the rooms look really dark..

might change the colours of the walls if necessary...

office

the storey is about 6.8 m high so very spacious

sofa

glass walls for a better view

journal

,studies in urban ecosystem










environmental challenges faced by cities around the world are more complex now than any other time in history,in most parts of the world, (mainly the asia pacific, rapid economic growth, decentralization, and related socio=cultural changes anre leading to the emergence of a complex decision making envorinment.

new concepts and approaches are needed to find constructice solutions to environmental issues.


my design will show how the building interacts with the environment around it and if not, i will change the surrounding environments.







3,interstices

interstices mean a empty space or gap between spaces full of structure or matter.
for this i will just put it in my design as "gaps between columns". and maybe create gaps in some parts of the office.

my office half done!!!

i chose to build mine on the mountain - good view.

it has 2 stories, 1st floor is a lounge (meeting room)
