A Moose

And so, did Aurelie create a moose from the Cityrail map.

My choice of valley

The valley I have chosen is located within the Queen Elizabeth Islands (the great big islands in the northern parts of the North-West Territory and Nunavut).

Some images of the landform are below (these are for atmosphere more than anything).

News Article Amalgamation

The impending acquisition by the Coca-Cola Amatil corporation of the entirety of South Pacific beer production, combined with Facebook’s IPO and acquisition of Instagram and Take Two Interactive’s implementation of gang warfare in video games lend themselves to the question of when does wanton acquisition of power become the plotting of world domination.

CCA expects PNG and Indonesia to act much in the manner of a subsidiary in return for infrastructure and technology growth. When the point is reached wherein a corporation is engaging in more development work than the majority of developed nations in the region, one wonders whether connections to the company could lead to potential ethical dilemmas in the future.

With Facebook poised to raise more than ten times as much as Google when it hits the market, building alliances and rivalries as it goes forth to dominate the ever expanding realm of the internet, all it needs to do is strike deals with global corporations before its sway exceeds that of Google, and a monopoly begins to be established.

More concerningly, when over-priveliged upper-middle class teenage boys can engage in dynamically branching rounds of gang wars, it instils in them the idea that they won’t be taking any more orders from potential sources of authority, at which point anarchy reigns.

The question remains as to when capitalism ends and world domination begins, with these three corporations blurring the line separating the two.

Assessment 2 Submission - Part 4 - Images of the Environment with Monument

As the midday sun shines on the monument, it filters the light to create shadows for the students to sit and mingle in.

The sunrise over the horizon draws attention to the use of a single texture over the major sections.

The electroliqid aggregation pertains to the filtration of light, but being a monument for architecture students, it also needed to be suitable for viewing in the middle of the night, after a 72 hour work day. As a result, the environment acts as the filter of light as it absorbs the radiant light from the moon.

Assignment 2 Submission - Part 3 - Textures

The textures can be viewed in two ways to view the progression from light to dark. The method above offers a linear progression, whereas the method below allows for movement between the different gradations during the traverse from light to dark.

Assignment 2 Submission - Part 2 - Combined Axonometrics

The holistic use of a single material in the filtration of light achieved through the placement of planes heightens the sense of monumetality.

Mimicry of nature's forms in the dispersal and fragmentation of the structure results int eh building's envelopment in the landscape and its integration with nature.

The introduction of light through the porous skins of vertical elements stress importance to as well as integration within the landscape.
