Disco Shell 2024

PRESENTATION STRATEGIES

ASSIGNMENT 2, PART 2

It all started with a Roman snail shell!


Brief - It is the year 2024 and as you know a lot has changed over the past 10years - most excitingly, due to the introduction of new building materials. construction has become far more fluid and exciting; we've finally learned to step out of the box!

For this project I needed to find a magical space that I could shrink myself down to live in
(eg.  the interior of a teapot, a ball, a hole in the wall etc.)
I had to scale it up for human habitation using drawing and presentation techniques.

Work requirements:

Furnished floor Plan
Furnished cross-section
2-3 perspective drawings

I chose a Roman snail shell and turned into a Disco/Club
I love the complexity of the sculpture of this shell and I decided to challenge myself to draw the above requirements.
My inspiration came from knowing there are no discos anymore; yes there are pubs and clubs, but it would be fantastic to bring back the disco where people can meet to socialise, dance, de stress by having fun.

Some of my quick sketches I drew once we were given the brief in class.

Then the images are colour rendered by hand using pastels, colouring pencils & rendering pens

The hand rendered floor plan is then taken to photoshop and more rendering is applied to add the finishing touches.  I just want to go there, don't you?

I enjoyed this project so much and why not dream a little to create that magical space!

With the various materials and technology of today anything is possible and this could be achieved by 2014 without doubt.
