Glenn Murcutt often quotes an Aboriginal proverb " Touch the earth lightly". Murcutt is known for his green Architecture, his designs are heavenly influenced by climate and nature. HIs material choices are very economical and are not hard tocome by, for example timber glass and corrugated iron.

This was inspired by Aboriginal culture. This structure is placed perfectly so that cool air becomes trapped underneath the house, as it is placed on stilts. The structure is strategically placed to make use of the wind currents and suns position in the sky

Sketch ideas for Environments

2 Creatures I have chosen.

Blanch

A Peaceful giant also known as BFG. is able to become

invisible amongst the trees due to her height and branch like

limbs. She is very slow but can cover great distances within

the forest due her large steps.

Rocky is a short creature With large legs, these legs allow

Rocky to Bound up and down the cliffs and rocks. Rocky also

has a hard exterior and can handle been hit with rocks or falls

from large heights. Rocky is also able to crouch down and semi

blend in the the sides of cliffs.

These are 2 Sketch Ideas of environments for two of my creatures.

This First environment was designed for Blanch as she

can and meld into the trees and remain hidden from danger.

This landscape was designed for Rocky as he can easily make his

way around and blend in with his surroundings as-well.

I found a sketch on the net like this i liked and redrew it myself.
