a down and dirty quickie... hastily assembled mood board for a PPM (pre-production meeting) that takes place in the morning.
on my way to delivering it.
it's for a commercial for an architecture firm... will be a nice commercial when all things are said and done - but this mood board does not represent the best that i can do...
The Roof of an Underground Rail Station, China-
Slated to become the world's largest underground high-speed rail station when it's completed in 2015, the Express Rail Link West Kowloon Terminus is a marvel. While it will connect Hong Kong to Beijing, it's the terminal's exterior that makes it truly unique. The station's roof will act like both a walkway & a park that visitors are encouraged to enjoy. It was designed by Andrew Bromberg of architecturefirm Aedas.
The Selfridges Building, a landmark building in Birmingham, West Midlands.
The building is part of the Bullring Shopping Centre and houses Selfridges Department Store. The building was completed in 2003 at a cost of £60 million and designed by architecture firm Future Systems. It has a steel framework with sprayed concrete façade and aluminium disc cladding. Since its construction the building has become an iconic architectural landmark and seen as a major contribution to the regeneration of Birmingham
The architecture firm Future Systems were appointed by Selfridge's then chief executive, Vittorio Radice, to design only the third store outside London. Although Selfridges was physically integrated with the Bullring Shopping Centre the client wanted a distinct design approach which would set the store apart from the rest of the development and become an instantly recognisable signpost for the brand. The building's facade is curved, wrapping around the corner of Moor Street and Park Street. The facade comprises 15,000 anodised aluminium discs mounted on a blue background.
After construction the building won a number of awards including:-
RIBA Award for Architecture 2004
Concrete Society Awards, Overall Winner 2004
Structural Steel Awards 2004
Royal Fine Art Commission Trust, Retail Innovation 2004
Institution of Civil Engineers, Project Award Winner 2004
Civic Trust Award 2004
Retail Week Awards, Retail Destination of the Year 2004
