EXP3: The Elevators

<strong><u><i>Elevator One</i></u></strong>

This first elevator is for the students of the architectural computing school. It has a dome like shape and it fits in a curve of the bridges design. I used the texture "Flowing" on it so as to show that it is flowing and lined with the cliff. 

This is the texture I used on the dome shape at the top of the elevator

I used this texture because the elevator itself is enclosed between the bridge and he cliff face. With the idea that it is "flowing", I made the elevator flow and be integrated with the environment and the cliff face. With the idea that the bridge itself is held up by cantilevering against the cliff face, it reinforces the idea that the bridge itself is environmentally integrated into its surroundings.

This is the elevator in the cry engine environment. Note how it is enclosed against the cliff face and it fits along the contour of the bridge as well as the cliff itself. This further reinforces my aim of having a "flowing" and integrated design that incorporates nature and its surroundings.

<strong><u><i>Elevator Two</i></u></strong>

The second elevator is for the dean of the Architectural computing school. When I was designing it I had in mind the structural aspect of my theory, and this I added additional beams and a central core to the elevator. With the transparent glass in the middle surrounding a metal core, it reveals a sense of structure to the design of the elevator. The extra beam around the outside act as supports and fit with the design of the deans office as well. 

The texture I used here is "Linear", which represents the movement of the elevator. It goes straight down to the folly area and it also correlates with the design of the elevator. The vertical beams of the elevator represent the movement of the elevator as well with their varying heights and lengths around the outside of the elevator, implying an up and down movement, a 'linear' movement.

This is the elevator in the deans office in the cry engine environment. Note how the beams on the elevator have the same prominence as in the deans office design. This is to represent how interconnected and correlated they are with each other, and emphasises the idea of structure and honesty in reveal said structure to the onlooker in the architectural design. It is also integrated I  shape due to the round gap and the shape of the elevator in the deans office.
