EXP 3 WK 3 - Study of dining tables

A table is a form of furniture composed of a surface supported by a base, usually four legs. It is often used to hold objects or food at a convenient or comfortable height when sitting.

Tables come in a variety of shapes, heights and materials, depending on their origin, style and intended use. All tables are composed of a flat surface and a base with one or more supports. A dining room table is any table designed to be dined at. A table can be used temporarily for objects such as food and eating utensils during a meal, cups for drinks and writing paper during writing and for various hobbies.

The dining table for my client [EXP 3] would be shaped something like shown above. The table has some attached chairs, which represent the client's physical powers such as wealth, health and inner powers such as attrativeness.

EXP 3 WK 2 - Unreal development





My unreal model consists of three spaces, only connected by elevator. The topmost space is mainly used as the client's working space (office). The structure at the bottom is the living space where the client can relax, enjoy, and so forth. I have created a bedroom inside the bridge to give a sense of secure and protection.


This is the two-point perspective drawings which formed the basis of my unreal design.

EXP 3 WK 2 - Study of Elevators

An elevator is a transport device used to move goods or people vertically. because of wheelchair access laws, elevators are often a legal requirement in new buildings with multiple floors. A modern day elevator consists of a cab (also called a "cage" or "car") mounted on a platform within an enclosed space called a shaft, or in Commonwealth countries called a "hoistway".
Elevators may feature talking devices as an accessibility aid for the blind. In addition to the call buttons, elevators usually have floor indicators (often illuminated by LED) and direction lanterns. Modern elevators are designed in a way so that they can move people horizontally and diagonally as well as vertically.
Do you know why there are mirrors inside elevators? When elevator was first created, it was really slow. In order to overcome this problem, mirror were put inside elevators. While people are in elevators, when they look at mirrors, they become unconscious of the speed of elevators.
One of the main advantage of elevators is that it can become a private space for some couples !

EXP 3 WK 1 - Pathways using Ued3





These captured images are showing my first attempt with Unreal model making. It is at the beginning stage, where the model only consists of three L-shaped prisms interconnected to each other.



I have developed Unreal model design based on the three one-point perspective drawings above.
