Concept design

We were asked to create 3 collages ( 11x17). Models with a 3"x3" base where also required for the collages.

One collage was of our impression of the site that we will be using. This is the collage of my impression of the site. Since this site is by the water you can see I chose  some pictures showing water forms. I also felt a sense of nature because of the park , this feeling is represented by the pictures of leaves and tress.  All these pictures together represent the flow that was at the site.




The second collage was going to be of the word " connection" whatever it was that came to our mind when seeing the word trying to associate it with our work so far.  What was made of the word connection to me was this. Since there is a park right across the street from the site there is always some type of pedestrian traffic. So there is always a sense of connection of with environment and people around you.




The last collage we were asked to make was of the program for our project. This is my collage for the hotel/casino. Since the site is by the water I thought a 5 star hotel/casino would make a nice attraction.



Since there is a casino in my design I also made a collage of what a casino is to me .

  Using two models from the first collage I created this concept model.

Using the last collage of the casino I created this concept model.

  1. I love the first two collages, even though i would like for you to explain a bit more what they represent. Pretend you are in front of the class and you had to explain these boards. What would you say?
    The third one is not as abstract as it could be. Think of what a hotel and a casino represent in an abstract way!

  2. Very interesting collages. In the first one, you show water. Was that just an impression, or was there actually a source of water on the site? You can be very creative using water in your design. You have a couple pictures of trees. Were there existing trees on the site? I see a wind turbine in your collage. Was it windy? How might you use wind energy in your design?

    In your second collage, I see a lot of people. Were there a lot of people passing through the site? By the way, was the site vacant or was there an existing structure on the site?

    From your third collage, it looks like you are going to design a 5 star hotel. What could you do with the design to make it sustainable?

  3. Your third collage shows mostly interiors of a hotel/casino. What will the exterior feel be? What about the first two collages can you bring into the third?
