NEW URBAN DESIGN PROJECT

For this project we have to compare the boardwalk and the nmmu south campus.
with regards to the intigration, spacial aspects and the physical antributes.

it was a tricky project as none of us really know what the lecture want as we are still trying to find out how he thinks and what he means by comparing these issues with the two buildings.

i have come up with this argument or this comparasin and have been told that its not bad i just need to have more of an argument with the comparasin side of it . like i really understood what the lecture meant !!!!!

But this is what i first came up with  :)

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT 2 !!!! CURTAIN WALL SYSTEMS.

For our latest construction project we had to research a relative new curtain wall cladding material and then apply the material to an existing building of your choice in Mbeki Street city centre, Port Elizabeth.

I chose a system called the LIQUID WALL SYSTEM .

video presentation done on the prototype made and a detailed section of the wall panels.

i still need to finish up the detailing process and touch up the rest for the portfolio at the end of the semester.

B-TECH TOUR TO KNYSA :)

Our class went on a tour to wilderness and knysa to learn about the modern types of building and new ways of design .  The class had a good time bonding together and REALLY had a good night in knysa !!!! I learnt a lot and it was a good eye opener to new ways and materials of design .

here are some of the pics from our tour :)

latest computers project !!!

We had to take our previous AutoCad interior room rendering and transfer it to 3D Max and render it in there . it was a lot harder than cad because i am still learning 3D Max but i produced this image . not the greatest image but still have a lot to still complete ! will touch up for portfolio.

High performance centre progress !!!!!

Final sketch plans hand in !!

Most of the class are way behind in there design and we all should be on working drawing including me !!
i have done a ground floor plan (sketch plan) to detail and thats about how far i am !! i know i need to get my act into gear and start working hard to catch up but i will get there !!!

in this design i have kept my learning section apart from my physical learning and the gym seperate as well and the tartin  track is on the right and inclosed by a glass box.
