More research!

Just recently we spoke to Jared about our theme and look we were going to create for the environments project. And the feedback we got for choosing the sci fi theme was that we shouldn't try and imitate our refrences of sci fi movies or concepts. We should instead focus on how they got to the point of the final design by looking at what they researched and looked at for ideas and influences. Jared showed us some images of sculptures, objects and how that sparked an idea off just by looking at its shape or colour.

So i thought for a futuristic cityscape, i wanted to have a unique and odd look to it in terms of its shape. So i started digging up some books from the library on sculptures and hi tech architecture. Here are some interesting and odd pics i found in some books.

I like these 2 images above where you can see one of the sculptures looks kinda like a building and the shape is very interesting. I can use this to sketch out potential buildings of the cityscape.

Here are some more which i have looked at and sketched out some ideas for the sci fi landscape.

All the images above were scanned from a book called Outdoor Sculpture and Authored by Margaret A Robinette.

The next book i looked at was high architecture. This book had a lot of industrial environment images as well as mechanical objects. I thought it was interesting refrence since we want our future to be a little tech based.

These images of pipes was useful since our cityscape could potentially have pipes to represent its industrial scope as well technology based future. The refrence images were scanned from a book called High Tech Architecture and is authored by Colin Davies.

Another book i looked at was authored and named Dennis Oppenheim. I found some of his art objects or sculptures interesting for its shape and colour. I found this particular image below in the book and it reminded of a greenhouse dome.

I thought shape wise our future could have some eco friendly architecture as well as the environment itself.

Looking at these books from the library has just sparked some ideas off for me visually, so i intend to sketch out these visions and hopefully post it on here soon.
