Dave White



Let the colours run by themselves!

Such a great piece of art...Here's what I found online randomly from some cool hunting blogs...
The above are three animal portraits painted by British Contemporary Art artist Dave White.
The way he moves his brush according the appropriate movements of the particular animal fascinates me.... Colours have created free movements for the animal and the painting itself.

Project 2





* Due to the limitation of Blogger, all the images here have been down-sized in order to fit its requirement.  Thus they are not in the actual scale!




Some photos of the model










Progress...!!!
This is how I started with the examination of the proportion system of windows through different readings, colourings, sketches and calculations.













This is where I began with my watercolour drawing on the perspective section showing the normal activities, colours and materials in Villa Muller.

Project 1- Analysis on relationship between the major parts of the house



"My architecture is not conceived in plans, but in spaces (cubes). I do not design floor plans, facades, sections. I design spaces. For me, there is no ground floor, first floor, etc...For me, there are only contiguous, continual spaces, rooms, anterooms, terraces, etc. Storeys merge and spaces relate to each other" - Adolf Loos
Villa Muller is constructed volumetrically. According to Loos, the house is designed upon different volume of spaces in which the development of the design started from the consideration of the requirements of the activities occurred in different spaces. The difference of levels are defined by the use of stairs connecting to different spaces. It means that his houses are not based on ordinary level-to-level plans. There are no distinct and defined levels in a house, but rather a number of defined volumes connected by stairs.  For example, the living room was reached by a sort of trick stairs: one had to ascend and then descend two sets of four steps before arriving at the living room at the end of a hall. This kind of spatial design developed by Loos is named as Raumplan. 


Project 1- drafts








My first attempt of the 1:100 plans of Villa Muller.












The above are the photos showing the progress of the 1:100 Villa Muller model. The base is made of white card board while the house will be made of balsa wood.
