Week 1 Sketchup Model

After exploring combinations of keywords and section styles, I decided to choose the below sketch as the basis for my 3D model. The section above the datum spread from the keyword 'Internalised' and should be a series of spaces that are semi-separate from each other in that they aren't all clearly seen at any one time. Below the datum, the idea is that the positioning of the walls and paths would 'push' you in certain directions ('Push' being the keyword). The two sides communicate with each other through the mutual beginning at the datum:

The original section sketch

From this sketch, I reached the following results in my attempts at fleshing out the section into three dimensions:

  The above two images show the spaces in semi-perspective, showing the scale of the buildings. The image to the right demonstrates how the two spaces are connected (the yellow section is the ground, transparent for convenience).
The materials used above ground are mainly metals of various grades (smooth for workshop areas, rougher for supporting poles). There is also a 'wave' which on one side is wood clad and on the other shelters a wall of ivy (below which is a pool of water). The fast floor space serves the public, whereas the raised spaces are the workshop spaces.
The underground space also continues the use of metal, but only for a sense of continuity. The main materials used here are various wood types, tiles/stonework for the main flat, while the ground itself is a soil/sand composition.
