MINI-PROJECT PHASE#2

Egyptian skating arena

Task Description: Designing a sports center on rhino, then exporting it to photoshop for rendering.

Goals Given: Improving and updating our projects after jury and feedback

Learned Skills: Improved poster design taking into consideration the theme of my skating arena which is a snowy theme.

Commands: draw two curves, loft, contour horizontal, contour vertical, extrude three times, pipe, join two polysurfaces, tween

Challenges: After feedback, i realized that my whole model needed alot of improvements so i decided to redo the whole composition

How i overcame challenges: I researched my center well and made sure to experiment on rhino as much as possible until i achieved the effect i had in mind

Personal assignment feedback: I am much more satisfied with the outcome this time especially after better time management.

I made the decision that the main feature of my structure will be curves, because ice skating is known for the gliding of skaters in a curving motion. My functional structure has a frozen feel all around it since i first started with two curves and lofted them, then i was inspired by the shape of ice that had been frozen togethor. Also, after conducting additional research, i decided to give a wonderful finishing touch with sculpting by modeling the skating movements onto one another. Then i made two curves for an installation at the back and lofted them to mimic the skater’s gliding motion and the blades of the actual skate. I made three entrances with a spherical shape to draw attention to the structure. My building is structured around the movement, competition, and creation of ice skating and the skates themselves.u
