Adios Advanced Design I...models

3D Print (via my digital model in Revit using an STL plugin) Sectional model of the theatre - the original roof and walls broke so had to remake them in opaque acrylic - actually probably gave a better idea of the concept though...




CNC cut plywood base with acrylic laser cut buildings - next time need to glue the plywood layers together a little better.

Adios Advanced Design I....renders

NB. these renders were all done in Revit using my digital model, with only very minimal fussing around in Photoshop (hardly at all, and none in the case of the wharenui). Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to do high quality renders - these are all using only the low or medium quality setting (shame - if I'd done 'best', would have blown them up to larger sizes in my final poster).

Remember next time to change colour to CMYK and use gloss (but low sheen) not matt (too faint).

Research - Mangere mountain

Mangere Mountain = one of the largest volcanic cones in the Auckland Volcanic Field, with a peak 106 metres above sea level, and was the site of a major pā. Many of the pā's earthworks are still very evident.

The mountain features two large craters. The volcano has a wide crater with a lava dome near its centre, a feature shared by no other volcano in Auckland.
  • last erupted approximately 18,000 years
  • one of the largest and best preserved of Auckland's volcanic cones - much of the archaeological environment on the mountain remains, such as kumara pits, garden terraces, walled garden mounds and stone boundary walls

Early map by Hochstetter of Auckland's geographic features - volcanic cones and lakes.“The istmus of Auckland with its extinct volcanoes, by Dr. Ferdinand von Hochstetter 1859”.
