Silkeborg Museum Section

Hi All,

One of your tutors, Chris Freeburn, alerted me to a video showing animated sections through the Jorn Utzon designed Silkeborg Museum which was one of the unbuilt projects I showed in the lecture last week; the substantially underground museum which has many things in common with the project we are doing.


Silkeborg Museum Section Poetry – FATAMORGANA from Utzon Center on Vimeo.

It finishes off with looking from above to show how a "plan" is simply a horizontal rather than vertical section.

You'll remember that Jorn Utzon also designed the Sydney Opera House ... wouldn't it be great to see this project realised! 

Thanks Chris!

SketchUp Make

Hi All,

Of the different options for using SketchUp, I prefer the free versions that runs on my local machine. You can download SketchUp Make 2017 from here: https://www.sketchup.com/download/all

This is what you are looking for ...

You may need to create an account with Trimble, who own the software.

Kind regards

Tutorial Groups

Hi Everyone,

Please find your tutorial allocations for ARCH1101 by following the link at the top left of the course website, here: www.russelllowe.com/arch1101_2020


See link highlighted at the top left.

We have to change the UNSW tutorial allocations every year to get an even number and mix of students in every tutorial group, so please ignore the UNSW tutorial groups you signed up for.

I look forward to seeing you all on Monday, midday at Colombo Theatre A, for the first lecture.

Kind Regards

Russell
