36 Textures
I had also selected the themes of 'fluidity', 'robotic' and 'freedom'. The textures in 'fluidity' were produced based on the concept of being free-flowing while maintaining structure and order. The 'robotic' textures were based on the idea of the influence of technology in our lives today. It is this dichotomy that has allowed me to attempt to display the rigid textures of electronics and machines in conjunction with elements influenced by natural forms. The theme of 'freedom' is an integral aspect of movement, whether it is human movement in urban areas or other forms of movement in the natural environment. Birds such as eagles and the like are the epitome of freedom, in terms of their ability to move and the acceptance of their symbolism of freedom by many social groups. The basis of the 'freedom' textures were different types of bird feathers, from eagles to peacocks feathers.
Since last week, I have decided to completely change the structural design of the model. The change was undertaken mainly because of the lack of interest in the shape and style of the previous model. I am heavily influenced by the works of Mies Van der Rohe.

I am intrigued by how the non-complex and very ordered design of his buildings have the potential to define the overall aesthetics. I am also interested in how he uses simple shapes and forms, and the way he manipulates a limited amount of space that is available. His use of straight lines to order and structure his designs is something I am able to relate to.
This is the updated design of the building.
As influenced by the style of Mies Van der Rohe, I have attempted to experiment with the emphasis on the use of straight lines
I have attempted to experiment with different placements of the shapes.
