Assignment 2 Final Submission
Week 4
StoryBoard
4 Markers
Draft Build Ar
Problems: I encountered a few problems when playing around with Build Ar.
One was the marker. As latter told, symmetrical markers do not work well with Build Ar as it struggles
to find which way is up, resulting in a jumpy model.
Another problem was the textures. It didn't show detailed textures so as a result i had to stick with
simple colours such as the brown shown in the above video.

Week Two
Reflection
Peter Eisenman's "House 2" is part of a group of house designs from earlier on in his career which was part of the "Deconstructivist Architecture". The different spaces and faces seem to interlock and extrude from within and between each other.
Eisenman takes generic and regular shapes and manipulates their placement and order to create buildings that do not follow regular standards. His use of a "Grid-Like Structure" whilst manipulating their positioning, is excessively used in his House designs, which use a 3x3 Grid. This allows him to continue with his Architectural style whilst creating different designs each time.
Eisenman's House designs also display a a major similarity between them, which is evident towards all who view them, the "Extrusion" of planes and faces. Whether they are extruded inwards or outwards, his designs have this fundamental trait in which the grid system melds with the extrusions to create useful and open spaces.
