The 7th Architectural Visualization Challenge I’m running in partnership with Quixel as the marquee sponsor. The book CABINS by Philip Jodidio and the fantastic illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi served as the principal inspiration for this year’s challenge theme. That, and my love for prefab architecture design.
The disc cabin / or cabins will be located on the rocky cliff valley. The glass disk form gives the cabin the opportunity to have a panoramic view of the stunning environment. And guess what! The disks are turning too!
The cabin can either have a view of the open breathtaking environment or turn the disk and have little privacy and see the mystic rock formations inside the mountain…
Hopefully 😀
*the person who cabins the cabin.
Greeting. That’s just the very beginning. I would like to go with translucent, ephemeral, white cabins on top of Þórsmörk inspired mountain range. I want to find some striking contrast between those two. A lot of interesting materials and stunning landscapes to be recreated.
When I was a child I was on a trip to Ireland and there I saw the Giant’s Causeway rock formations. This place looked so magical and out of this world to me, that it stuck.
Trying to think of a concept, I remembered this place and decided to choose this as my location. I am not sure what my cabin will look like yet… nor how the hell I am going to create the landscape in Sketchup…
I will probably create a modern looking cabin to contrast the primal location.
Hoping for the best
My idea is to create a modern approach for the traditional cabins in the woods. I used the triangle shaped roofs as my main concept and used a second volume to intersect it. My main materials will be wood, glass and metallic panels. What do you guys think?
Since my ‘school days’ I’ve been intrigued by the ‘theory of the primitive hut’. For this challenge I’m thinking of small hiking huts, as rest points or destinations, arranged in clusters or individually. The location will be a mountain lake in an area known for hiking. These ‘found images’ are a starting point, now to create topo.
Did a very rough blockout of landscape in UE4 and flew through it with cinematic camera to grab few interesting angles/spots. Should help with further iterations.
