Elevation Render of the Flower Shop.
A cabinet of curiosities is determined by juxtaposed compositions that are emblematic of something new. For this design exercise, we were asked to gather different photogrammetry scans of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown LA.
We took inspiration from a range of big and small details throughout the hotel to create a spatial composition that could be synonymous to that of a modern flower shop. We took parts of the major central core, incandescent lights on the pond and the ripples of the interior pond itself to create a fluffy and bubble like texture on the model. We intentionally kept the anomalies in the 3D Scans to add texture to our curated composition.
The end goal of this project was to utilize photogrammetry scans to use a ready-made shape or object to redefine an existing architectural typology, such as the flower shop. We used the 3D scans and their anomalies to form a blobby mass that formed into a flower shop located amidst a parking lot in downtown LA.
