Week 2 Studio

Today we decided which unbuilt Architecture we were going to use for our collaboration project. After looking at everybody’s designs and hearing their thoughts, we narrowed it down to Eva’s Dubai Opera House and Allen’s Dubai Hydropolis. We finally decided that the Dubai Hydropolis would be a good fit for our team design.

Evaluation of the unbuilt Architecture and eight areas of inquiry

1. If design of form and complex structures can be created within crysis.
2. Test if structures can be placed in the water and to also hold it out.
3. If we can import models from 3dsmax into crysis and test if model collisions works within sandbox2.
4. Test the scale size of creating islands in Crysis and the structure.
5. Test what materials would look authentic within an underwater environment
6. Test if sealife is creatable.
7. To test if models can me imported from sketchup.
8. The tech tasks were divided up into 2 per person with the following people doing these tasks.
