D5 Architects

http://www.d5architects.net/
I been checking out the D5 Architects where they are based in Birmingham. They have designed several buildings in my home town 'Bromsgrove.' The bromsgrove new college and the harley davidson acadmy.
From my investigation, this firm puts the shame in architecture, as they design is shambolic!

Tree Mono painting


Practicing my mono-painting skills.The project that I am doing 'beauty of life after death' represent a light and dark tone. Therefore I want to brand the project in this way, by using this technique. Where it captures the rigourous essecence of the drawing lines. This same goes as the people who past away in a melochony mood.
I have done this before during my a-level art, and it works well and it has worked well again. I will applied this to this project and future projects as well.

3ds Max Course

Learning 3ds Max, in the computer lab on the 4th floor in the library. Its not going to be easy, but it is vital for future career as alot of architectural practices uses them in their design.
First day didnt go too bad, was abit slow. Best way to do better is to practice what I have learnt at home.
