Oliver Filley: Week 1 Castle

For my castle I drew influence from several Gothic cathedrals throughout Europe. This design features a more minimalistic building with a greater focus on the columns. There are several different columns throughout the castle, the goal was to make each set of columns different. For inspiration for the columns I studied Gothic structures along with current and concept design from the United Arab Emirates, specifically Dubai. To create the castle I used a lot of the 3d form tools and extrusion to create the basic structures. Then went back and applied polar arrays and rotations to create repetition especially in the columns and the dome.

Fabio Bonacquisto: week 1 Castle

I created this castle with inspiration from world of warcraft. Trying to recreate the feel of one of the major cities combined with the culture style of the environment. I used a lot of rounded shapes to create the feeling of tranquility just like the city in the game. I did used the Boolean difference tool a lot in the process of making this castle. My main goal for this castle was to get the visitor to feel extremely small in a large space but safe at the same time.

I've always been interested in medieval  times. Part of the inspiration for my castle came from the Conwy Castle as well as the Beaumaris Castle, both located in Wales. I also wanted to incorporate a castle town because they were common in medieval times. I liked experimenting with the wire cut tool to create intricate shapes such as the flying buttresses.

Set in a future century where castles are designed with sharp angles and sleek materials, I set out to create a hovering castle that embodies the design principles of repetition, balance and unity. My work was inspired by Jorn Utzon, who designed the Sydney Opera House. The triangular pieces make up the base structure of the building. They are unified by the boxes and deck levels. I enjoyed adding fun additions the structure like the stairway with the slide and the thrones.

Isabella Pineda: Week 1 Castle

I created this castle with inspiration from the St. Basil's Cathedral in Russia. I find the shapes of the tops very interesting and somewhat enchanting. I also drew my inspiration from the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I like to believe this could be use as a location in the film. As modeling techniques I used solids, mostly tubes and spheres, I also found very helpful for my purposes to use the revolve tool to create solids out of curves. For the windows I used Boolean difference.

Avi Spratt - Week 1 Castle

I wanted to mix rounded forms with harsh angular forms because I thought it would create interesting shadows.  I also wanted to experiment with  making an interior, the inside of the main building is hollowed out, and there is a doorway.

Overall, it was a lot of fun to experiment with Rhino.

My inspiration for this castle came from the things that I learned from Survey of Western Art History. The cultures represented in the rendition are Mesopotamia, Egypt i.e. the Sun and the Moon revolving, and Roman i.e. the columns. I made this castle with the intent of showing how the past has had such a big impact on the future, and how it will continue to do so, being that history takes the place of an irremovable part of our DNA.
