E-mail to Matt Day

I thought it would be a good idea to email Matt Day, a competition architect from Day Bukh Architects http://www.daybukharchitects.com/index.html to see if there were any potential environments that could be used for this project. The exchanged emails are below.


Hi Matt,
Essmael Yasseen here from Arch1391 last semester. How are you? How was your break? Happy belated New Years!

Life has developed from Second Life, and now I am enrolled in Arch1392 Design
Collaboration. Our project is to construct a significant piece of architecture that hasn't been built using Crysis, a real time environment editor similar to Unreal Tournament 3. The significant piece of architecture isn't restricted to a building, it could be an urban development or a city plan, etc. Rather then just making a visual replica, our group wishes to make a series of simulations for whatever example we choose (this will give us the edge over the rest of the class).

We will be
working on this through out the whole semester, so as you can imagine, we aim to do a great job! I know that as a competition architect, you would have a few designs that haven't been built. I was hoping that we could maybe assist in a project you may have worked on or currently working on, in fabricating it for you in a real time environment. We did want to do something on a larger scale, like an urban development... I remember you mentioned a school overseas that you were working on with a group of architects? We are open to any suggestions. If you could help in anyway it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Essmael Yasseen



Hi Essmael,

sounds great.

I defiantly have some competitions entries that you could choose.

On our website there are two possibilities,

europan - housing development (under housing)


or

kristianssand - large concert hall.




I have also a few others which could be of interest that are not on
the site,

I have attached some images of these.

a concert hall,

an opera house

a museum

a school

and a community centre,

Matt Day
