3-1. Draft Valley (The Black Gate of Mordor)

My country of origin is sort of New Zealand...
I decided my valley would be the Black Gate of Mordor that was famously featured in Lord of the Rings.

The Rem Koolhaas Monument

With the concept of integrating with the natural environment I decided to make the model specific to the landscape. The structure is based on the Seattle Public Library, a famous project by Rem Koolhaas. The prism-like interiors of the library gave me the general conceptual outlines.

The Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe Monument

The Ludwig monument is based upon the concept of details being monumental on top of its natural integration with the cliffside environment. The structure and details gives tribute to the Monument to Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. The distinctive red lighting artificially implanted recognizes the theme of Communism apparent in Ludwig.

The Meeting Place

The Meeting Place does not offer direct access to the monuments, however the monuments are not meant to be accessible to be appreciated. By standing at this point the viewer can really sense the scale of the monuments while gaining a comprehensive 360 degree view.

 The Landscape (Day)

The general landscape is comprised mostly of snow, this representative qualities of snow as 'cold' and 'lonely' really allows for the monuments to stand tall and differentiate amongst the natural surroundings

The Landscape (Night)

The immense lighting upon the western cliffside allows for a intense source of illumination at night. This is based upon the concept 'a monument never sleeps'

2-8. Interactive Animations

As I developed my Cryengine environment I wanted the viewer to be able to actively interact with the environment, so I have shot some short clips to best show this sense of 'experiencing the architecture'

An 4 min animation clipped together from me interacting with the landscape and monuments in order to determine where to capture images for the greatest effect
