Casino design

I also had some time tonight to think about my casino design. I have rapidly come to the conclusion that my site on Quay St. is a lot smaller than some of the proposed designs that I have produced so far. I will need to find some rough site dimensions, and use these to rationalise my design. The general lack of size (and my admiration for the existing building) means that my building will probably be burrowing underground somehow. This is fine; concept wise, as an architecture of guilt  would be at an advantage buried, hidden and shying away from all human contact. I like the idea of a travelling down a dark entrance tunnel to get into my casino, it would feel especially natural with the 'spiky' space design from earlier in the semester.

I have a couple of quick sketches as to the latest iteration of the design, and as much as the maze-like space was interesting, for a predominantly pokie-based boutique casino, it did not really provide many adequate spaces for pokies to occur. With this in mind and the site size realization, it was not really practical to have as many walls as were being proposed. These are going to be mulled over over the weekend.

Unfortunately, at this point I have but a sketch in my pad, I will be developing these over the weekend and a result will be seen at the critique on Monday.

Hi there!

Mike showed me how to publish archicad documents tonight. This means that I have been able to finally get drawings that keep their' vectorial qualities, and don't blur when you transform them.
Here is one of the pieces from my commitment document reworked so it's a vector piece, and not pixels! [EDIT] Apparently blogs don't like pdfs either. I'll show it to the tutors on monday.

I'm back

Hi there,

After a fairly long break (some of it due to laziness, some to illness) I am back posting. As promised, here are the initial mobile photos. I think they blurred with the movement of the mobile =/
