After receiving the revised brief for this Supplementary Assessment I began first by perusing the internet in search of recognised projects of the listed Architects & firms.
My initial thoughts were that I would then narrow the search down to Architectural likeness based on the drawings & models that arose from the original search. I defined likeness in terms of the similarity between their work & mine, in regard to characteristics like materiality, function & presence.
After a while my direction was leaning strongly towards Richard Rogers & Jean Nouvel, with Norman Foster and Toyo Ito coming into question too.
Soon after I visited the library where I could further narrow my search.
I perused most of the available references in the library related to these individuals & quickly came to the conclusion that my initial idea of Rogers & Nouvel would suit my project nicely.
I chose the selected images from the internet for increased visual clarity but came accross them first in alternative sources.
Predominantly, what I admired most from these two were the consistent use of colour & activity expressed through their drawings. Both in plan & in section they were producing imaginatively interesting work. The use of colour assisted in allowing certain parts of the project to stand out in the drawing.
I tried emulating that in both plan and section. Moreso in my plan as I wanted to show both my project specifically whilst still providing context of the original Parliament plan.
My focus area is highly colourful whereas the remainder of my project blends into the original plan for additional contectual info without being too dominant.
The section is fashioned from the two sections equally. Aspects of the two were adopted and utilised & certainly creates the desired affect.
