my building anamation

My first attempt at 3D max animation building assembly of my building... still in progress...

3D space design

Electrical crit

So much to know....

Light design

My light design

Inspired by the heritage building's shape floor levels heritage detail...

It was such a great experience to learn from these people... and what a privilege it was being their guest were we where treated like royalty...

Our BTech Interior design class was invited to Twee rivier, in Joubertine to stay for the night on their paradise of a farm to learn more about what they do in conserving heritage and living from the farm as well as getting to know more about us as well and how we can work together...

Last day of the 3rd term

3D model of Proposed design

A sneak peak to my final design of my proposes restaurant design

Light design in prooses

Working on my light design...

An abstract light representing the Fleming house as so many history has been lost already.

Creating an abstract image on the one side of the 6 different floor levels and on the other side an abstract "F" letter on the other side for representing "Fleming House"

This design also makes you look closer to see the hidden detail as many other designs in the proposed design.

Creating timber look-a-like table legs for my mini table model

Design....

In design I'm busy making changes to my last semesters work by adding more detail to my design and changes here and their.


Here is a image of changes being made to the exterior...All very contemporary so not to blend in with the heritage building but to stand out to show a clear deference to what is heritage and what is not.

Proposed Furniture design

The 3 products I'm working are a light, chair and a table.

The chair and table have a lot of cultural inspiration where the light is a abstract design of the heritage building I'm working with.

But I'm still working on it and making changes.

Learning 3D max vedeo skills

So now that we have learned how to work 3Dmax video we will use it to make a video of how our new proposed design structure will assemble

Drawings drawings drawings

New proposed drawings: Locality plan, Site plan, Floors plans, Drainage, Sections and elevations...

Done and Dusted!!

My last 4 months of varsity

Our first day back and our work is laid out for us...

My technology document work

working on space planning again...

Almost have my final space planning done...

 

AND another computer programe...

We also learned a new computer program called InDesign.
This is where you can create books, magazines, layouts, etc....

Here are images from the internet what it looks like...

learning so much here at NMMU Interior Design...
feeling so privileged..

Learning another 3D programe

Lumion

Here are images from the internet of what is possible to do with this 3D Computer program

 

Still in the learning proses but very exited to bring

My Restaurant Design

to life in this program

 

The detail and scale of this program is amazing

 

Material finishes

Material finishes inspired from the historical building

 

 

Concept Sketches

Doing concept sketches with inspiration from all the different patterns, textures, materials and structural construction from our diverse and beautiful cultures in South Africa

 

Pattern Inspiration

A pattern I will definitely use in my new designs and in branding is the pattern seen on the exterior of the building as seen in this image

 

Over all Inspiration collage

For the over all inspiration I'm going for is the blending between the old and the new

 

The time period the building was built, to bring back the historical architectural beauty and to emphasise it, as well using the structural method of the building as inspiration to construct the new design elements in the space. Elements like architectural detail and material finishes in the building will be used in new designs but in a contemporary way.

 

When designing these new elements to the building they will also be influenced by patterns and textures from selected cultures in the time period we live in today as a different South Africa as what is was when the building was built.

 

These new design elements to the building will tell a story of where we came from as South Africans and who we are today...

 

Because in my design I want to tell a story throughout my space, a historical story of the buildings life, what has happened around it over these 149 years its been standing on Fleming street...

 

As one of my target groups, this will be a wonderful dinning experience in Port Elizabeth where they can learn more about us as South Africans as well as the architecture and history of Port Elizabeth...

 

As the chameleon blends in with its surroundings

So do we blend in with our circumstances as things around us change, like how South Africa has changed from 1994 and how we all adapted to that beautiful change..

 

Seen in this picture below you can see how everything's blends, yet so different but works so well together!!!

 

This image in a combination of Xhosa, Kio-san, Indian and European cultures, displayed with patterns, textures and colours than moving together to create new contemporary design elements in the restaurant.

A beautiful blend...

Water paint

As I'm displaying historical art of Port Elizabeth in my restaurant I got inspired to use water paint in my branding....

 

Playing around with a colour scheme

The colours I want for my restaurant, I want to be warm (perfect for a restaurant) and also fits in with our beautiful warm African sun rise...

The first colour I want to use is green because of the important to history to me about my building and surrounding areas of the lost gardens... to bring back the greenery

Then I want to use a contrasting colour to go with the contrast between the exterior of the historical building and the new contemporary interior details...

So my colour scheme is GREEN AND RED...

Back to work....

Doing some research on historical names and details for my Technical drawings of my exiting building
