Edward Hopper- Morning Sun
Narrative- "A DEPRESSED WIDOW WHO WANTS TO KEEP HER PAST MEMORIES
FOR REFLECTIONS IN APARTMENT ROOMS"

Final Assignment Two Submission Model Pictures

























































Final Assignment Two Work- Drawings

Throughout my plans,sections and axonometric I wanted to show the materiality of the building such as the reinforced concrete for the walls to deal with the idea of a tomb and ground or soil to represent thye feeling of being inside a grave or tomb. As well as shadows and reflections to get an idea of how the emotions of the room look like, which can be shown by the ceiling window openings.
Axonometric Design


Plans
With the plans, what I intended to do is flatten the geometric containers of the room and break them up into three or four pieces. This is to ensure that there's no confusion of the plan and to show which pieces represent the walls and the floors of the room.












Plan One- BL One- Home Theatre Room, Where the widow watches DVDs with her partner as good memories













Plan Two- BL Two- Memories Room, where the widow has photos of good memories with her partner as well as gifts or presents from her partner.












PlanThree- BL Three- Bedroom and Office/Computer, computer is used for the widow to have a look at her memories of her partner with Facebook, MySpace etc. Also her favourite photos with the partner and favourite gifts the partner gave.













Ceiling Plan- Shows the window opening and the passageways of the apartment block














Entrance Plan of the apartments as shown when the widow enters the apartment

Sections
As you can see, what I wanted to do with the design for the rooms, I wanted to create a set of apartment rooms. With the rooms, I wanted to play around with reducing the size by starting of with bigger size then finishing off with smaller size. The reason why I want to play around with this is to deal with the emotions of depression and lonliness. I also want to show the nature of the rooms with the staircases as a steep hill to show that people don't want to enter these rooms because of fear and depression.
