FINAL A1 PRESENTATION
Wednesday, 3 October 2012
Group 49 Peer Review.
http://architektonik-uoa.tumblr.com/
Group 49 has designed two stairs each for one hotel. Their ideas draw inspirations from the arrangement and structure of a diamond and amethyst quartz.
Their Utopian Hotel delivers a sense of chaotic arrangements of crystals. The design emphasizes the juxtaposition of different surfaces. Sharpness is expressed well with the diamond & amethyst quartz structure. They digitally rendered the stairs to express materiality. It gives a crystalline and reflective visual expression. On their final section, figures are placed to show a sense of scale and how the stairs actually work. The presentation is clear and minimal. They used only linear forms and a little bit of grey shades to highlight the transparent effect.
Their stairs in dystopian hotel relates well to their stairs in utopian hotel. It has a similar colour scheme but addresses different dystopian features at the same time. Layering and overlapping are used. The stairs focus on the relationship between community and privacy with the steps becoming narrower and smaller. The forms are more dynamic compared with the sharpness emphasized in the other hotel. The section gives a sense of scale, again with people walking on.
The two stairs contrast well with a similar approach, both showing their understanding of Utopia and Dystopia of the Ultimate city.

Journey between the hotels
Image of the journey between the Utopian hotel on the Waiheke site and the Dystopian hotel on the Auckland site. Travel from Utopian site to Dystopian is via lantern, while travel from Dystopian to Utopian is via raft.
