Final Pictures










Draft Pictures of house with environment










Strategy 

Considering the Rudin House is Made Mostly of Concrete, i have decided to develop a texture inwhich the concrete has been left and moss/algey has grown and taken over. The Invasion of moss acts like a sort of extra stregth so most of my model is still intact, However after so many years of of corrosion and weathering parts of the building will start to fall off.

Material Study

WIth Rudin house, I noticed most of the house is made of slabs of pre cast concrete. My Main Material is CONCRETE.
They way concrete corrodes all has to do with the thickness of the slab and how far the reinforced steel is to the outer edge of the slab. If done properly, Majority of the slab will stay intact, but bits and pieces may start to crack due to the build up of volumninous.

Cover thickness


Cover thickness is the distance between concrete surface and the reinforcement, which is the nearest to this surface. It is determined after taking into account the required mechanical properties. According to some regulations, its minimum value depends on the exposure class and on the type of structure (structure class).
Most often, steel corrosion occurs when the cover thickness is too thin.

Rudin House
Located in a village at the limit of France and Switzerland (Leymen), was one of the earliest works of Herzog & de Meuron, conducted for the art gallery owner Hanspeter Rudin.

                               

House in Bordeaux
Considered one of the best houses in the nineties of the last century, this house of Koolhaas / OMA in Bordeaux sits on an English-style garden of an old mansion near a disused quarry.

RUN AWAY ISLAND




The Subliminal 

My letter / number combination is "S,6". I decided to go with a link between the 6 and the s so they both connect. My island is shaped from the combination of s,6 as you can see in the images below. I also wanted to have small hidden things within the environment that is only noticeable from birds eye view. one side of the pathways i painted on was in the shape of a 6 as seen in the images below. The s i decided to carve out of a flat part of land which was an arrival landing spot for my island.
