Sweatshop Perspective...

In need of scale figures I know but here the open elevator perspective of the sweatshop

Most Recent

Elevational Perspective

This is what Ive most recently come to...It is one of two options I felt that I have....The other option is to lose the diagonal window and void out spaces in the knot that are not being used. And the triagular box that is in relation to the presentation of the shoe, im not sure if that is a definite option. The concept is that Americas Materialism (the knot of interior walls) is breaking out of its box into an unrealistic state. Give me some feedback if you get a chance guys!!

Interior Section Image

Here's my new plan in trying to create more complex spaces in my museum.

My relationship and concept with the interior walls is all about the "knot". When looking at the sneaker again I felt that the most interesting piece is the shoelaces, and what better to create spaces with than a shoelace type folding walls.

Imagine pulling on the two ends of the building as though it was a shoelace tying the knot.

Also, In relation to site, the walls have a somewhat fluid motion without becoming curved to relate to the tides on the port. Anyways after much diagraming this is what my latest interior Idea is.

Program fits these spaces to complete the inside.

Oh and I've also started to weed out some of the ideas I feel that are less strong and base my building on ones that have more meaning.

New sketched ideas...

Heres some of my new ideas...don't know if it's too late for you to comment but it's alright if you don't get a chance...The first image is a better programatic diagram the my "questionable" diagonal boxes in the petcha koocha...

Circulation

Heres my idea for circulation...

Elevations...

Here are some of my elevations...Give me some input if you could guys...

Sketches

Heres a few images of the preliminary sketches I made along with a couple study models...

Facade.

Heres a photo I took the other day of the facade on a storefront...It is one of the ideas I had for proportions of the outside...

Woahh!!

So I came across this video on another blog site today and I thought someone was doing a virtual reality or something of the sort museum....so here it is if it gives you any good ideas?

Kicktastic Design...

Just as in architecture, shoe design begins with brainstorming ideas and sketching. These ideas and sketches are overlaid and drawn over millions of times to create something beautiful. It's not easy to sit down and draw something in ten minutes that "hypebeasts" around the world will love. You need to spend time in research and brainstorming of ideas. This relates to every part of what we've been going through this semester. There is a deep background of research in every idea, and the design is processed through this to make a creative and thoughtful outcome.
