BA3 Research into Architecture 3

After that initial photography outing I attended a few drawing sessions taking place outdoors allowing me to use this opportunity to capture some of Norwich's structures through another form of medium.

These drawing sessions have also helped me identify a few more areas to study. I found that areas of buildings that are designed as opening or entryways had a particular appeal to them. Perhaps due to their design as a passageway. Nevertheless archways that would hang about them or pillars that would support the structures above you were some of many of the pieces of architecture I found enticing.

Thoughts:

At this point I am aware that 3D is the main practice to be learnt in this project and thus it is unlikely I will continue much in this 2D field for anything other than simple research sketches. Moving on to Maya and beginning to get to grips with it's interface and possibilities will allow me to potentially start recreating pieces I have found interesting and use them as practice models for my journey into learning this program and the applications it has to offer.

The first step will be identifying a simple area of architecture from my photos and studies and attempting to replicate it in Maya using what I have learnt so far. Before this though I may need to look into the images and try and identify how such a structure could be replicated in Maya.
