A2 Poster Second Draft



Final Laser-Cut


Significant Pieces of Architecture

San Cristobal Stables- Luis Barragan



In 1967-68, Barragan erected San Cristobal, a private estate consisting of a stable, horse pool, swimming pool, and house. Colour plays an important role in this ensemble, with pink, red and purple, drawing attention to the minimalist elements of the design and at the same time providing relief from their starkness. His architecture is elivened and humanised by the addition of colour.

I find this a beautiful and interesting piece of architecture. The images are amazing and I would like to incorporate these ideas into not only my poster, but my designs as well.


Olivetti Showroom- Carlo Scarpa




Carlo Scarpa was an Italian designer, influenced by the materials, landscape, and the history of venetian culture. His architecture is deeply sensitive to the changes of time, from seasons to history, rooted in a sensuous material imagination. Scarpa was obsessed with craft and concrete and made materials do things they were never intended to do. The Olivetti Showroom is very beautiful and unique. Scarpa's devotion was to design things more elaborate than they need to be, making really heavy things seem light. It is very expensive architecture and contrats dark with light.
I find Scarpa's architecture interesting and quite beautiful. He takes a lot of attention to detail and his thinking and craftsmenship is out of this world. I intend to incorporate this ideas into my own designs.

Stich



Stich is a boring, unwanted creature. He lives in the dark, creepy corners of the forest. He is happily married with two children. Since shacking up he tends to not leave his house (due to a nagging wife) and therefore needs a place where all his necessities are not far from reach.



Skyla




Skyla is an unusual creature. She is known as a gangster, and is often seen chilling with her homies. She lives in the hood and likes to hide underneath done up, turbo-charged vehicles. Her home is constantly changing as she often needs to change her identity and location to stay out of trouble. To get away from the police she uses her long legs to climb up to the peaks of tall buildings where she stays till the heat is off. She is known to try to seduce any guy she finds, however her height is a big turn-off!



Sly



Sly is a cute, polite creature. She lives in the depths of the forest, and can be seen around the floral areas, where she sets up her home. She feeds on smaller plants and rarely takes a visit outside of her forest. She sleeps around and is almost always seen with one of her many, many children.
