Updated Vectors for New House

Updated Vectors for New House

I have finished updating the vectors for the new house design, after looking at numerous tutorials and much trial and error I realised I could not rotate my vectors in Archicad. Therefore I had to go back a step to Rhino and rotate it there.

New Cyborg House

New Cyborg House

The House has now been tilted so it is parallel to the ground, to gain access to the house the cyborg uses his telescopic leg to extend up into the house. The walls have become the floors and vice-versa. The interiors levels are also reached by using the telescopic leg, windows are still able to be viewed out meaning the cyborg can keep watch for danger. The height of the house and its instability is similar Len Lye’s Wind Wand sculpture. The process to flip the house was etremely challenging as Archicad could not rotate the house through the Z Axis, this resulted in having to export it to rhino to rotate it. My house design confuses the conventional it appears like a normal house with a typical roof, however looking at it closer reveals that it is skewed to one side and floating in the sky.

The vector Lines show the view angles of the house, the places in the house were he can stand and look outside the house. It shows his interaction with the house by the places he can monitor his surroundings whilst still being inside.

Here are the first outcomes of my cyborg house, it looks a bit too conventional however it is on massive supporting columns that position it way up in the sky. The windows surround three sides of the house providing good views that the cyborg can watch out by using its high powered cameras. The ceiling has been made higher to allow for his communication atennae. To enter the house the cyborg uses its telescopic leg to extend up into its house and through the hole in the floor.

Cyborg House Design

Here is my progress for my cyborg house, I want to create the basic concept rather than make it too detailed as it might need improving or changing after I receive feedback.

The design is basically a floating house on two sets of beams, the windows surrounding the house offer good views and the security the cyborg requires. Access to the house is through a hole in the floor were the cyborg can use its telescopic leg to elevate itself into the house.

Cyborg Story

The story behingd my cyborg is that he is a old disabled spy, who relies on technology such as cameras to see. He also has a metal leg which assists his movement. He has made many enemies in his life and therefore requires a house that is secure and hidden but still acts as a welcoming house and not a prison.
