From Sketch to Model

The final model was a combination of two original sketches.

Heston's above ground component was modeled from the word 'juxtaposition'. 

Revival Cycles' underground workshop was inspired by the word 'stare'.

The final section incorporates a juxtaposition of materials in the building above the datum, the aluminium contrasts with the grass in the way that Heston's cooking contrasts with elements of science. Also the structure its self, while looking organic from a distance, blending into the surrounding hills with natural curves, is actually made up of a series of horizontal geometric sections.

A passage stares through from below the datum, allowing a beam of light to fall onto the bike as it ascends on the combined lift/bench top as if being raised from the dead.

While three custom textures were originally used, these were refined down to two.

'Raw' - Used to represent the concrete left raw after casting to construct the walls of Revival's workshop.

'Tempered' - Coloured to further demonstrate the desired material; coreten steel used for Revival's stair, workshop container and workbench. The intentional rusted finish which is still perfectly usable and structural, is a notion to the restored bikes which may show age but still have purpose.
