Deconstructivism Architecture










This is a style of architectural designed structures, which at first glance seem as an assembly of unrelated bits and pieces, that seem to distort the buildings shape and envelope. Each of the structures elements are manipulated to form an construction of shapes which are unpredictable and develop a visual effect of chaos. This is a postmodernist style of architecture which began in the late 1980's. Two of my favourite examples of Deconstructivism Architecture is
Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Manchester comprises three apparently intersecting curved volumes. & my favourite Vitra Design Museum by Frank Gehry, Weil am Rhein. The above images are examples of such architecture.

My poster inspiration


Poster inspirations.

Section


The section was a bit tricky. Its a little hard to see so I'll describe the bird house section, inside would be two parts split down the middle. The bottom is dark for sleeping time and the top has sunlight beaming through for those warm days of play. entry is through several part of the house, The front and back door, as well as the pigeon holes.

Habitat Sketch Plans

This is just a brain storming of different shapes and ideas in which I want my habitat to incorporate. I tried to focus on all of the creatures characteristic, from the reptiles nature fondness of large rocks to sun bake on, to the flowing rivers and waterfalls for his fish instincts, as well as a large enclosed bird house.

Casa de Qauve`














































Finding a suitable habitat for Qauve` was tricky, it needed to incorporate all aspects of its character, from beautiful flowing streams to a bird house and large rocks positioned correctly for maximum sunlight. This habitat was perfect for it as it has all of these and more!
Originally I had only wanted to have a bird house for the creature but quickly reconsidered as it did not suit its personality and features.

Good on ya Grank!











Evolution confused itself when this funny looking thing was created! In between a dinosaur and couch potato! Grank is a cute carnivore, not viscous in nature it wait for any type of food to come its not picky! found mostly in extremely hot climates. A good sense of smell, and long distance hearing, it is an enemy to no one! and friend of all. Safe to say this is definitely a good old friendly giant!

Horasee











A diver would not want to cross this mysterious creature of the ocean. Unlike any other seahorse this one is very fast, with poisonous spike around its body. The Horaseas communicate to each other through loud high pitch noises that echo for miles, they feast mostly on plankton and the occasional small shark. Although it is a dangerous creature and it will attack at random it is quite beautiful in appearance.

Florra










Florra is a unique creature, at fist appearance it seems any overgrown flower from a jungle. Although this creature is a lot more then that. Florras features: 5mouths & 10 eyes, very good with its senses can spot a predator from miles away its defences are camouflaging, biting and clawing (its claws are well hidden beneath the leaves)!

This is Quave`








My favourite creature. Its uniquely shaped and interesting to look at. It is almost like a reptile-like fish that spends most of its time outside of water! Living similarly to the Corcea, it spends its days swimming, running and more importantly lazing around in the sun. An exceptional predator, it can run at great speeds and is flexible enough to bend its way out of any sticky situation.

Meet Corcea...




This is Corcea, a swimming bird of great flights, exceptional hearing and running speeds. Feasting mostly on worms and bugs, they live in large open Fields and grass lands with easy access to water and flowing streams. This creature is lovable and always laughing.
