Project Progress

Pui Pui and myself worked on again remodelling the model in max. In this stage we are trying to incoporate all the aspects discussed in our recent meeting with Jeremy, Graham and Stephen Peter. Particular concentration in modelling an inner dome - resulting in a complete sphere and a inner staircase that would be in fact placed in between the domw and exterior wall. The issues in this woking session are designing the elements that would now redefine the similarities of what Boullee created in his few drawing pictures/plans

Fig 1.) Other half of the dome that will now recreate a complete sphere

Fig 2.) Creating another wall around the dome, so to cover a gap between the exterior wall and dome

Fig 3.) Creating this inner curve wall in wireframe

Fig 4.) stairs and plant holder edited

Fig 5.) Our entry opening had to be edited to now illustrate a semicircle (mirroring that of Boullee's pictures)

Fig 6.) A placed foundation slab underneath the main structure

Fig 7.) Creating a tunnel from the main entrance to the inner main room

Fig 8.) Editing the tunnel to also cut an opning to our staircase

Fig 9.) Creating our pyramid stairs

Fig 10.) Bending our pyramid stairs to contour the shape of of the dome

Fig 11.) Again fixing our pyramid stairs because it was not the right shape

Fig 12.) Different perspectives of how we shaped the pyramid stairs
