7 Images of 2 Draft Sketchup Models

My first draft sketchup model

I wanted to create a model with the intend of literally recreating the designers object. I wanted to create a motorcycle like building for Shinya Kimura and a circular sushi building for Jiro Ono. But After talking to Vinh, he wanted me too not be limited by the space, rather than creating 2d shapes, he wanted me to create 3d objects. For instant, where there were circular prism, he wanted me to create spheres instead.

My second draft sketchup model

For my second draft sketchup model I attempted to follow Vinh advice. My initial intend change, instead of create literal object, I wanted to create buildings that recreated their philosophy when coming to their practice. When I researched Shinya Kimura, I always felt like he was a innovator, his buildings are unique and out of this world. Therefore I wanted to create a building that was innovative and extraordinary. Whereas for Jiro Ono, his craft of making sushi is simple and minimal as a result I wanted to create a building that was uncomplicated and straightforward.
