Tower of Light!

As most of you who will be viewing this blog probably know, in Discourse II we were assigned a building in Joburg to research. Well our group got the Tower of Light. If you go to Wits i'm sure you've seen it before.
Anyway, I'm working on a revit model of the tower, but since it isn't yet complete i'll post some of the photos that I took of the tower. These are the reject prints that i was left with after handing in the discourse project & my photography portfolio. Probably should have scanned the better ones before handing them in but anyway....

Reinventing Myself in the Style of Picasso

Pablo Picasso
Self Portrait Facing Death
(1972)


This is a project that requires us to make an abstract self portrait which will then be used as a basis to design an imaginary 3-dimensional space
