Before Studio: Week 04

Hi guys,

A comment on something I've noticed with a lot of your sketchup models.... floating models with no ground plane!

Without a ground plane there is no context for your building to exist. Have a look at how the image below of a work by the late Zaha Hadid (for those of you who aren't familiar with Zaha Hadid, she has been a pioneering woman in architecture who unfortunately passed away this week at the age of 65), without a ground plane, the whole context is lost.

Please make sure that your sketchup model has a ground plane of some form before next studio. I understand this may change the way you show your below ground space, such as with a section, but this is to be expected for below ground spaces.



See you in studio
Chris
