Building Design Ideas (Tracing)

Building Design Ideas - Tracings

I used the models that I created to trace over in order to come up with some more initial ideas for the design of my building. Most of these ideas are very wacky and unusual which is what I would like to bring to the area but maybe not so 'in your face'.

I would therefore like to just use components of the designs such as the curved beach ball shapes.

I really like this idea of the umbrellas forming the structure of the building. It would create an interesting feature for the overall building alone with making it really unusual and different.

This design uses the idea of sandcastles to form the main feature of the building. Im not sure how practical this design would be as the shape would not lend itself to the shape of the land sand a lot of space would be wasted in the different sections.

This design is supposed to show the joining of the sandcastle design along with the use of the geodesic  design to create a curved roof. I do not like this design as a whole but I think the use of the geodesic style would be a good design feature to add to my building.

The beach ball design is really wacky and I like the way you would get a different perspective and design depending on where you are standing in comparison to the building.

Looking at all the designs I think the one I like the most is the idea of the umbrellas forming the structure of the roof. I think this would provide an eye catching shape to the building from the outside but also from the inside. I would like to pursue this design further by doing some research in to existing buildings with similar features.
