I tried an addon for blender called Mextrude and I quickly figured that I can make some cool geometry. I played like a half hour with it and came with these results. Every shape in this post is one of the five Platonic Solids where I tried to put some fractal principles in. These shapes remind me of some spaceship or a underwater residence.

Buckminster Fuller, Final Message
AnimationsEnglish CC and Dutch subtitles included
Richard Buckminster Fuller was an architect, systems theorist, author, designer, engineer and inventor. But he would say he was a “Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Scientist” to solve global problems surrounding housing, shelter, transportation, education, energy, ecological destruction, and poverty. Many see him as the father of sustainability
This a tribute to him because he was the most influential in my thinking about design and innovation.
Enjoy

This is a animation I made for Sercom. They produce climate control systems for greenhouses. The Earth in the beginning, the Climate control units at 0:48 and the software packages at 1:20 are made by me. The other parts are made by Teunerium
Fictitious floating architecture
(Landscape-) ArchitectureThis is my first architectural render in Blender. The architecture is based on the Gherkin in London and the Geodesic dome. The pentagonal leaflike structures in the foreground are actually segments of the Geodesic dome and they function as study-centres for marine life. The buildings on the hexagonal floating deck are the apartments where the students can spend the night. It is completely fictional, i just had an image in my mind and tried to realize it with the Blender.



Eldery rest home Autocad Drawings
University assignmentsThis is a design for a elderly rest home. I choose the colors red and yellow and used them in big groups.
The south border is filled with Pyracantha saphyr rouge ‘Cadrou’ which explodes with red berries. and the Ilex aquifolium ‘Pyramidalis’ & ‘Madame Briot’ follow the Pyrachanta with their red berries.
Instead of choosing red and yellow flowers i went for colored leafs. The Heuchra’s keep their leaf for a long period of time and make a beautiful image and in the winter they are joined with the yellow flowers of the Cornus Mas.
The enterance is filled with Euonymus fortunei ‘Emerald Gold’. This plant is not the prettiest when it is used in small groups but a whole area really lightens up the place.
The red autumn leaves of Amelanchier leavis ‘Ballerina’ with the red leaves/twigs of Cornus stolonifera ‘Kelseyi’ shield the parking area, and the white blossom of the Amelanchier makes a clean appearance. This appearance is also seen in the backyard trough the white bark of the Betula utilis ‘Doorenbosch’
The anthracite paving in contrast with these flowers, shurbs and trees creates a modern clean look and the explosion of colors maintains the warm feeling of a cosy garden.
