I have seen a rather interesting concept that has been pulled off here and there on the internet.
If my memory serves me right, the first time I have seen it done was maybe 2001-2002. It was photoshop pong.
The premise was that Person A serves.
Person B must return in some form what A served.
And so on, back and forth 5-10 times.
The idea is that you receive something... add, subtract, modify, expand et cetera what you were given.
So, I'm wondering if anyone would like to play a game of architecture pong? Nothing complex or asinine?
If anyone would like to play someone else, you can use this thread? Might be good for portfolio work for us youngsters?
Rules:
1. Mutual software (Easiest and cheapest would be SketchUp 7)
2. Low-poly and no referenced objects (And by low poly, I mean no realistic 3D trees and no billboard objects that refer to files on local machines)
3. Serves and returns should be less than a few hours.
4. Each persons content should be grouped and color coded.
5. Every return most have an image posted in this thread.
6. Renders are A-OKAY.
Pixelwhore, you can be the official referee, but everyone can chime in.
Orochi, do whatever you'd like! I have a pretty basic knowledge of Rhino but am adept with AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Photoshop. SketchUp as the modeler would probably be easiest, but it's your call. Anyways, like I said, I can serve back next week after my pin-up on Monday. =)
Let's put our mouths where our architecture is or our architecture where our mouths are or our architecture our assholes are. I think that office building turned out aaiigghhhhttt.
while my initial urge is to propose something shark-themed in honor of Shark Week, instead I'll go with something a little more archi-themed that I think could prove interesting:
'contextual surface'
GO!
(if I'm going in the wrong direction with things just lemme know and I can switch it up!)
I took "contextual surface" to mean a combination of things. The phrase "contextual facade" is often meant to describe facades that have a relation to the objects around it.
So, my reasoning for this project was that surfaces can have four main "contexts:" social, historical and ecological. My material of choice was adobe as it fulfills context. Adobe also has the quality of being very site specific... so it would be hard to misplace it contextually.
I chose a rigid, orthogonal design and woodworking that combined various cultural design practices from around the world. The odd facade cuts are made to replicate the silhouette of the surrounding landscape that this building will probably block. And this building utilizes a lot of primitive design technologies in relation to the environment and adobe as building material produces a lot interesting combinations of bridging surfaces (inclusion of objects into the surface, flexibility in shape, easy to outfit odd sized or complex openings into the surface).

sounds like fun, if I had hours to spend on it. hopefully some people have the time for it because i would love to see this work.
Yea, I'm interested. Could only do it after this week, though. You wanna serve first?
Can I be the judge?
Sure. Now, I have no idea what to draw. This is embarrassing.
is pretty cool. I highly recommend for friday afternoon entertainment. unfortunately the new season doesn't begin for another couple months...
probably my favorite match of this season

Does that mean I get to pick the first topic?!?
yea sure
wow, I wasn't expecting a positive on that... hmmm... lemme think!
Aww... but I just finished this.

I actually need to find a way to share these .skb files.
Come on, Pixel!
I'm feeling the URGE. I'm on fire right now. It's probably the 13 cups of coffee I've had today.
Ha ha - this will be fun. >:D
I'm not liking that evil smiley face.

Example?
Results 1 - 10 of about 197 for "contextual surface". This is mostly the reason I'm asking.
Or is this one of those things I'm suppose to invent on the fly?
Ya, invent/interpret however you'd like.
yup, interpret away. IMHO its as much about thinking on your feet as it is modeling skillz

wurdan, that's awesome! I apparently play 'Exquisite Corpse' all the time in my sketchbook with friends! Such a cool name.
PONG!

Hawt. Did you render this in v-ray? My studio wraps up on Tuesday, so next Wednesday I should be able to ping you.
However, if anyone out there is excited about this and would like to return Orochi's serve before then, be my guest.
Yeah, it's in vray. I'm not sure if the v-ray material tags will still be in the file.
But I only use 4 materials anyways. Everything is grouped by materials. I didn't color code or put things on layers.
