Unfortunately, Lumion crashed when the video was uploading and all data on the landscape was gone. Therefore i had to recreate the landscape and hence, in some areas, might appear different than in the previous images in the blog.

When entering the Architecture School this is immediately what you would see. The massive bridge up ahead with columns beaming out of it and large constructs erected from all sides of it. (The greyish/blueish colored rectangles the appear on most walls are in fact translucent windows however in Lumion they appear solid)

After walking in the school, the bridge immediately mixes up the architectural design through the juxtaposition of modern and traditional. The beams erected on either side of the image below represent the Greek Parthenon's columns and symbolizes a key aspect of architecture.

The image below reveals the Lecture Room and the view of the entire bridge from the very back. The Lecture Hall also addresses the key theme of modern vs traditional with the shape of the Lecture Hall being that of a Colosseum.

This image was just taken to show more columns as well as a view of the bridge looking approximately mi-way through the construct.

The Complete view of the Architecture School Bridge from a point outside the bridge itself. This image shows the length and components of the bridge from one perspective.

The last image shows the entirety of the bridge from a different perspective from that of the image above and also includes the Folly; which can be seen in almost the bottom left hand corner. this gives a sense of scale to how high the bridge actually is and the distances of different parts of the bridge.

Folly and Moving Elements

Folly:

The folly was taken from one of the perspective drawings and then put into the Artisan Tool Bar. the reason i did this was because the Artisan toolbar gives a more modern and futuristic look enhancing my theory of the combination between traditional (old) and the modern way of architectural design and composition. The bridge serves as the traditional (in the way of columns alluring from the idea of the Greek Parthenon) whilst the Folly represents the modern through its use of the Artisan Tool.

Moving Element 1

The Video above shows the moving element which is a walkway that moves from the edge of the general Staff offices to the Gallery at the other side of the bridge. I decided to place my moving object there because i felt that the bridge itself needed a moving element within it as well as one moving from the Folly below to the bridge above.

Moving Element 2

The Video above shows the second moving element which is basically a free guiding lift that takes you from the folly to the main construct - the Bridge. I decided to make this "lift" circular in shape and have different compartments so as to resemble different groups of friends or teachers occupying different spaces all interconnected through small pathways.

Fly Through

The video above is a quick fly through that goes around the entire bridge and shows each and every part that was meant to be designed such as the Studio Spaces and the Lecture Hall. Although there are no annotations, the description of each room and where they are located are found elsewhere in the blog.

EDIT: In the above post i mentioned the video crashed... only 14 seconds of the video actually uploaded... which is annoying. I dont really want to try it again as i might lose everything and have to redo it. For a 3rd time.
