Week 10

1)

Expressive montage (click the photo for an enlarged image!)

2) The type of spaces I'm aiming to create are just relaxing places to be in, such as rooms with flowing water or white open-spaced areas with various panorama views of the landscape.  The types of use groups that would use my architecture as a place to relax and get away from any negative or daily worries would mostly mature older teenagers and young adults. The main colour scheme I'm sticking to is on the lighter spectrum of the colour wheel by using alot of pastel colours and different shades of white.

3) I'm using the power of an interactive web media creation with html and flash to challenge the design and representation of my architecture by allowing concepts of "free-flowing/fluidty" and "translucent spacial proportions"to be integrated into my design aswell.
Just a couple of examples and ideas that the web creation could provide for this assignment:

• The cover/opening page of the website will have a panoramic render of my design and the landscape that it sits on, with an animation that showcases my aspects of translucency and fluidity by perhaps fading-in the render and then once you click enter the background will have a translucent effect as to not over-shadow the information infront of it.
• I've thought about the "flowing" aspect of my design with the image  gallery having an infinity amount of loops when the mouse scrolls through the images, so it seems like it never ends which ties into my fluidity concept.
• Using flash would allow me to utilise animations to its full potential which I would not be able to do with just using a pdf and putting images in them. Animations such as fade in effects, transitions, colour changes and animations when you click a button etc. 
• I am planning to make a shoet CG video of my building, perhaps a short walkthrough through the building. The digital technique of incorporating a video in my website would further add onto its interactivity with its pause/play/skip/fast forward options.

The image below is what I drew up in studio about the layout of my website.
