1. Review a selection of students 'Electroliquid Aggregation' concepts:

“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”

Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No 5/6, p5

2. In 6x6 squares draw a series of 36 custom textures that represent the entire range from dark to light.

3. Inspired by your parallel projections at a macro scale create a series of smaller detail elements and add these to your marker to reinforce/supplement the electroliquid aggregation that they represent.

Note: throughout the class pairs of students will be critiquing each others images from their Lumion environments and discussing how the landform is, or could be, demonstrating a distinctive and significant approach to siting the marker.

Complete by NEW DUE DATE!!!! Sunday May 10th by 11:59pm.

1.
Apply a light, a medium and a dark texture to particularly significant surfaces within your marker. Upload the entire set of 36 textures to your blog.

Note: the YouTube video tutorial below demonstrates how to do this on a curving surface.

2. Continue to develop the landform, the marker and detail elements through to final resolution.

3. Use 'Fraps', or similar, to capture five images from your Lumion environment and upload them to your blog. We should be able to see your custom textures in at least 3 of the images. Write short comments (40 words max!) under 3 of the images to indicate how they relate to your "ElectroLiquid Aggregation" quote.

4. Upload your Lumion folder (located in your "my documents" folder) to your FileFront, Dropbox, or similar, user page and provide a link to them from your blog.

5. Upload your final version of the marker to the SketchUp Warehouse and provide a link to them from your blog.
