Analogue Model #2




The difference between the second model (from digital to analogue) is not dramatic. The Sea Captain is a simple charcater with compartmentalised emotions. The approach taken with this design is therefore simple and compartmentalised. The builing is divided into 4 different sized boxes, the narrower bottom one for the bathroom/laundry areas, the wider bottom 'box' as the kitchen/living area. Empty unit #7 joins these compartments with an open light box at the top. The bed is located in the upper-storey compartment. There are large openings in each of the compartments running off the wall planes for plenty of views out of the building and light in. The exception is the tower in which a view out is not necessary, rather a relection is given by the mirror here. The Captain is an asthmatic so surfaces are clean and non-fibrous in texture. Materials are expressed in the digital model, as are minor forms as they could be easily extrapolated in this medium.
