DESA1002 'Continuous City' <Daniel Attard>

Abstract

By analysing Amsterdam’s social context, I have come to understand the “tight nit” atmosphere which brings them together. I am fond of keeping traditional aspects of their society the way it is, so the building i have chosen is multipurpose stalls. These stalls can sell fresh food, veggies down stairs. I have placed the primary sections close to the water to allow a customer interaction with the sites. The secondary space is on the alleyway side. This is designed to look traditional Amsterdam. It will create an ease of access for fresh produce. In the plan drawing, I have made the walls on the building which I designed, a dark black fill, to clearly outline its shape. I have kept the surrounding building walls an empty fill. The interior walls have a thinner wall that the outside, because in this situation these walls will not be structural. The dashed lines are to show the bridge structure underneath the building. In the following renders, i wanted to archive the most realistic images as possible, in this stage of my design. i have used common construction textures such as brick and tiles. i have set the bump mapping to a responsible level, to archive greater realism. to create a glass effect, i made the window plane transparent, which also has a level of mirror effect and the glass has a wavy effect to make it look even more real.
