Khayelitsha-Auditorium

This was a project/tender I completed alongside my college, TAG443 (The Academy of Guilds).  The brief was to design an auditorium fit for conferences as well as to serve for educational purposes in the township of Khayelitsha.

 

The design of the building took form to that of the "baby grand' piano. Where one side of the roof would be elevated and slightly overlapping the roof of the other, obtaining the look of the mentioned piano when in use.

 

Although we completed the work on time, the college was not awarded the tender and the effort put in was simply added to my portfolio of works.

 

It was about a week ago that my lecturer contacted me, asking me to enter a certain student competition. The brief was to enter a piece of work completed during your studies showing your involvement of Graphisoft- ArchiCAD and your functional capabilities within the software.

                                                        

It just so happens that I actually got into the finals of the competition and came joint third place in south Africa. (see link-->  http://archicadsa.org/2013/04/25/stud-comp-13-tag-andrew-strickland/ )

 

So this project wasn't a waist after all!

 

I actually cant wait to participate in another competition. Its time to move forward!

Photobooth

So a friend of mine has the task of quoting on a job for a new client. The project is to manufacture easy to build/portable "photo booths", and in the process I have been asked to draw up the model for him and render a few images. Happy with the outcome, thereafter finalizing the quote and presenting to the client, it looks like he has the job. Smile :)

Room renovation

  

Here is a simple room renovation I have done for a friend, firstly the room was drawn up in Sketch-up and then I completed the renders in Artlantis (my second time using the software!!!) I must say I'm quite chuffed with this and am very eager to continue my journey with Artlantis!
