Where im at with my model.





Behind the scenes

Some screen shots from making the animation for the facade idea.





Hexagonal facade system






This is my idea for a hexagonal facade system and roofing system, it will optimise daylight, minimise summer sun, maximise winter sun, keep the rain out when its about, take advantage of winds, reducing air conditioning costs dramatically.

Waitinggg...

Just had a big idea, I want to have a changeable facade or roof, that can be changed with the sun, wind, rain, everything! So I'm going back to my high school days of autodesk inventor, hopefully i can still remember how to use it and make a nice little animation of my idea. time will tell.

Photoshop ideas

Had a play around with photoshopping the model civilisation with a mosaic sort of hexagonal pattern over the top transparent, but based on the colours and shapes of the models. Looks interesting!
