Dam Theater - Fabrication

The Dam Theater will create a wonderful 3D image with the scale of the theater compared to that of the dam. With the massive difference in scale, this will create a wonderful opportunity to view the model from many different angles and be visual spectacular to explore. On completion, you will want to explore this entire model, because it is so unique in the world of architecture and you will be curious to know what it is. How often do you see a building built over a dam?

The textures and mapping will be quite basic. Viewing the images on the website, I particularly don’t like the materials selected inside the theatre, as I consider it doesn’t suit the relaxed environment and the function of the building. The material for the dam will be very easy; the use of a concrete map should do just fine.

The lighting and atmospherics will be quite wonderful as lighting for a theater would be very different to that of a normal building. By having limited lighting in the theater, depending on if we want the theater empty or packed, this will create a wonderful atmosphere of being relaxed and an enjoyable place to be. Maximum lighting can also be used for the foyer as well as the outside.

In regards to the environment, this is our biggest assets it is easily the biggest visual aspect of our choice, having been design to be built on a dam. Having being built on a dam, water is everywhere, and we can take advantage of this by having noise depicting water.

The biggest problem I think in the project will be

· How big to we make the surrounding environment?
· How can we make the background visually spectacular?
· How do we create height in terms of long distances and making it look like a lookout (see inside theater)?
· How do we create realistic water? and
· How are we going to work out all of the sizes of the rooms, height of the dam etc?

How do we achieve this? I think we should work on our strengths. One person can work on the environment, two people can work on the two main rooms, someone can work on making sure it all fits together and someone else can make sure it all fits together. This can be decided on in more detailed tomorrow.
