The Triangle Collective: Back to the drawing board.

The Triangle Collective

We, The Triangle Collective, is a group of 3 students studying Architecture at the University of Auckland who are participating in the annual Auckland Architecture Weekend 2010 competition- SKYRISE city.

The event will be held on 16th October 2010 in Sheds 1+2 on 135 Halsey Street, Auckland CBD.

The competition brief is to design a 8m tall skyrise with a 2m x 2m square footprint at the bottom.

Our Design 4 group brief is Recasting, where we have to recast an everyday material and put it into an environment that we will not normally associate the material to.

The blog is to note down important sessions, crits and experiments throughout our design process from the beginning to the night of the event.

Hope you enjoy the project as much as we do.

Thanks for your support,
Cameron, Kassidy and Kelvin @ The Triangle Collective

Back to the drawing board.

The ridged outcome of our 1:1 Detail model has led us to return to our original thoughts and ideas....to step away from the spaceship.
We began considering our initial concepts and explored the brief in more detail. Collectively we thought of nailing down our design to one key word, intensity. Using stocking material and halogen tubes we went back to the craft-knife.
