Defining innovation.

Artist Theo Jansen works with light weight materials to form "Kinetic Sculptures" that move by themselves.

Unfortunately the video comes from a BMW ad which in my opinion seems to compromise the integrity of his work.

Stair sections

Draft model 2

The two particular views are used to demonstrate the relationship between the size of the stairs and the two studios. I wanted to challenge the notion of proportionality of the stairs as well as to highlight the immensity of the overall structure.

Draft model 1

These views of my first draft model was taken to highlight the different experimental shapes and curves that could be incorporated within the final draft. I especially like the above ground section so I decided to apply more attention to it (i.e. the second picture demonstrates the imagery of a claw).

BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK













A2 Collage Of City; This is a piece of work that I created last year as I experimented with various camera angles and Photoshop to create a link/ passage via the connection of various footbridges around the city.

AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

The Hanging Temple is suspended high on a cliff opposite Heng Shan, one of China’s five holy mountains in the province of Shanxi. The temple was built more than 1500 years ago and incorporates Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements within its design.

AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
















This photo was taken with a Pentax K100D of a single thriving flower in the backyard. The use of mono work and contrast was used to highlight the beauty of the flower whilst not drawing too much attention from the clustered background.
