A summary of my work- where 25 words are not enough

A summary of my work(click to go to the page):

The 3 quotes
18 axonometrics
sketch model 1
9x2 parallel projections
Electroliquid Aggregation+ sketch model 2+filefront test
36 textures
====================================================================
Explanation of my concepts of the model.











I used a dim yellowish colour for the outer space, because this creates a late afternoon feeling, where the shadows of Jane's lab is projected onto the meeting space, which shows the neglect ion of the third world countries. The dim sunlight also contrasts the bright lights on the exterior, which shows the overconsumption of energy, where people use lights needlessly when sunlight is still sufficient .











I used the three colours that are mainly used for neon lights to represent the first world countries, because I (was taught to) don't like literal designs.On the left is the ramp from Jane's lab to the meeting space, where I'll explain that later.






















These two images shows the interior of Jane's lab. I used a rather green pallet to show how she acts to conserve the environment. The lights inside are dimmer than the outside, which shows the contrast between the heavy resource consumers and herself.
There are also some 'poles' in the lab space, which resembles the vines in the jungle, but also show how she tried to teach the first world countries that the environment and human are linked together.












Another side of the studio. I used a limited number of plants to show how 'ungreen' the first world countries were, also to note the desertification occupying in such countries.











This images shows the ramp connecting from Jane's lab to the meeting space.
The ramp is made from a simple rectangle plane, but there are parts of the plane (near the meeting space-third world countries) being cut off and placed near Jane's lab(the first world). This shows the unfairness of how the first world countries exploits not only their own resource, but also the third world countries. I didn't align the planes that are moved, so it could be obvious to spot. Moreover, the ramp doesn't have rail because I want to represent that this situation of exploiting other's resources is a dangerous action.











Other than the shadows, I used a rusty texture to enhance the contrast between the first and third world countries.
The space was a regular block, which was heavily subtracted to show how the resources are exploited for those countries.
The same shape also resembles the injured people that is in need to heal, so the meeting space has as a double meaning for the two lab space.











The ramp from the meeting space to Florence's lab is covered by a shelter, which shows the protection by caring.











The main concept of Florence's quote was how the environment could enhance the healing of the injured, so I tried to add a lot of natural light to the model, where sunlight has a warm and cozy feeling and make people feel better.











The big windows also creates a space with good air ventilation, which is an important element Florence mentions in her quote.












The textures used are mainly white, which has the cleanliness required by Florence.
The lights are also not to be made too bright to match with her quote.











The yellow twilight pallet also creates a soft and gentleness, which resembles Florence's tenderness of the caring of injured during the war, which has a great contrast with the masculine soldiers during that period of time.

==================Textures used=========================
Light.








Medium. I combined the two medium textures of the dots to create a more random pattern.








I used four dark textures in my environment, where mostly used inside Jane's lab where the dark colour has a sharp contrast with the bright lighting used.





































The textures images are posted on Monday after the submission time, but the other I managed to upload them on Sunday.
