Wm Alexander - Alias/ING

[WDA]

I'll toss my hat in the ring...and see how far I can go. Looking at being kind of busy with work over the next couple of months... but I just can't resist this challenge.

The beginning aka enhanced bar napkin sketch. General concept is reflective of a number of forms and distortions of classic forms. The Alias part is the '33' of the design and much of how the hierarchy will be refined and is refined historically-my view / synthesis anyway.

More to follow as I get used to using my new tablet

Alexander, nice to see your entry for the AW-II. i like your concept and sketch. it's too early to comment on your concept. will look forward to some more updates as you get to progress on your entry. cheers

WDA in the house, good to see you buddy, looking forward to it!

Interesting sketch! Good luck! We are waiting for more!

I'm curious to see your idea starting to flow with the modeling!!

[WDA]

Yes.. kind of ambiguos what I see actually see in that sketch, LOL

Paint by numbers is what this sketch is called or in this case Architectural 'Murder by numbers 1,2,3..."

I'm going to sketch quite a bit of my thoughts out before getting too heavy into modeling. Did a quick form study before the first sketch to verify what I was thinking will work in 3D the way it should. Where this may go is actually a very involved modeling process and I much prefer to Model a design under those circumstances than design the model as I go. Simply because I absolutely hate going back and doing material selections after the fact. Call me lazy...like a Fox. (yes it should be crazy like a fox but...)

I'll be floating around...thanks to 'Wacom'. Makes this process so much easier

Work smart not harder I always say

[pradipta]

Alexander, have not heard from you for a long time. is there any more progress you made with the models. we are excited to see some updates from you

pradipta,

Thanks for the nudge

Been sketching on and off. Have a system/synthesis in place, right now working on refinements and the order & balance. Very seriously considering inverting the classical order/s, enhance the acesention to a pure platonic form. And on the way up considering through use of material, order & form creating the appearnace of floating elements. Hard to do without making it look like it will fall down - an architectural 'My Bad'... some concepts locked away in my mind.

Over all the approach is classical ordering of a seemingly chaotic vision. Hiding the the obvious fact the building is constrcuted of blocks, Tetris blocks. "anti"....alias-ing

May address the "smoothing" of the pixels also, being an 'alias' of certian elements of the design.

have to see, time restriants, where all this leads. Quite frankly, just do not have the clear vision I need to start modeling. Where the modeling flows from certian conviction and forceful push of the design. It's all getting there. But I have to make cakes, fold boxes, storyboard animations, lead a project & team through/past a very challenging client on a non freelance project over the next month and more also........

So thanks, for the nudge !

Humm...very nice update, i like your concept sketch a lot!! I understand why you're wondering where to start with the modeling!! But i guess that you'll do fine!!
