      Welcome Franziska,

      These look very good to my 'professional' eye. I particularly like your
      eye for composition.

        Csaba, Mike,

        thank you both for your feedback and the kind welcome greetings.

        Yes I am glad having found this comm. I am sure I will find some inspiration and motivation here to continue with my "projects"... and every comment and feedback that helps me to improve what I am trying to do with SU is very welcome.

        Here some pics of another building, no rendering this time... this is still work in progress and I am not sure when to finish it as two other ideas have kept me busy with SU the past weeks... I always tend to begin something, start another one, a third one... and so on. And never know when to finish something I started...

        To all of you in this community a very pleasant and healthy 2008!

        Cheers,
        Franziska

          Well, definitely some "profesionals" would be glad to have your skills.

          As for never finishing a project... Tell me about it! πŸ˜†
          I play more in SU than work... πŸ˜’

              Honestly speaking I have only one "really finished" project but that was also a kind of team work, too.

                In my eye a project is rarely finished... I am crazy enough to find always some more details that could be added...

                Perhaps it is good that I never went into architectural profession... my work probably would never come to an end - not good if you depend on someone paying you for results...

                On the other side I am sometimes sad that I did not follow my dreams to get in touch with a kind of profession that has something to do with architecture or design in any way... but my parents did not want me to do that and I followed their plans and never corrected it. Well, it led me to skills in informatics and economics... and to a heavy burnout three years ago.

                The consequence is I do not anything by profession at the moment... what gives me a considerable amount of time to play wih SU and such stuff.........

                Cheers,
                Franziska

                  Well, ture. That only project I finished had deadlines so I had to "stop" somewhere although I've been playing around with the models and developing them ever since (you can have a look at the thread about it here).

                  Now I'm just working on things (as my time allows) that can turn into projects in the future.
                  (But in the meanwhile I need to do my current job that I don't particularly like either for one needs to live on something, too πŸ˜’ )

                  Gai...

                      wow, looks great. Besides, a church as a project obviously would never let me stop working on it... just thinking about all the decoration work inside.......

                      Think i better keep my focus on "clean" modern buildings... 😎

                      by the way... this might be a future project - just a study now, working title is "Megalomania Mansion" - This is the good thing with playing... you can design everything affordable or not πŸ˜‰

                        Well, have a look at Paul's church then (Unfortunately it hasn't been transferred yet πŸ˜’ ).
                        He's been working on it for ages... πŸ˜†

                        Nice approach (and a lucky situation that you can start form just "masses"). I always need to build by precise measuremenzs.

                          Now I am SURE I will never start a church-project, 'cause I am too old to see it finished πŸ˜„

                          Yes, you are right, most of my projects have a sculptural approach (no "form-follows-function")... this is the starting point... then I begin thinking about how to give those forms floor-plans and interior design that make sense... and of course that mostly has a major or minor effect on the primary sculpture... it is an iterative process.

                          Probably I can only work this way as I am not a real architect with real clients... with their expectations and needs, budget-limits, environmental conditions etc.... I always have to be my own client when thinking about a new project... what I like and hate. (With one exception where I did a design for a cityhouse for friends of mine, that perhaps will come to reality within the next two years, hopefully)

                          Here is another simple sculpture... just a few cubes... a three-story-home. Wait for 2008 what will happen to it.

                          Cheers,
                          Franziska

                              Franziska,

                              I empathise with you when you talked about following your dreams. Because, to me, having seen your SU images and read your posts, you should have been an architect. You have the making of it.

                                Guite,

                                thanks a lot for your comment. I am starting to think seriously about how to transform that passion for design into something useful...

                                Cheers,
