Exp 2 - Week 3

Trailer Scenario

Base on the fact that my environment is a paradise island where there is limited access and resources on the island, the timeline of the paradise island of 100 years runs like this.

> Paradise Island quickly become a popular holiday destination
> Business boomed, owner of the island multimillionaire, renovation undertaken
> Decades past however market crashed, owner had to sell everything and the island becomes dessert and forgotten.
> 100 years has past and the resort is slowly consumed by the island

Environment of the Island

• Rubbish and human waste scattered around the island
• Overgrowth of flora and fauna emerges
• Ponds become swamps
• Insect are abundant
• Naturally building decay and natural reclaims what was theirs

Further Research of Decaying Marble

There is very limited information of marble building being decayed on a large scale because they are relics and luxurious however I've looked further by researching marble on a smaller scale which are more likely to be forgotten or had more interaction with humans such as statutes, so hopefully follow the way it decays with the environment.

Barcelona Pavilion characteristics after 100 years

Despite mainly constructed out of marble the situation of the building will retain most of it form due to the fact that marble is indestructible because of its properties, its a form of quartz!! It will have discolouration, edges become blunt or broken, not shiny, the tiles will crack under pressure from nature and heavy.

Reggia de Caserta

As you can see even thought however centuries of being built, form of the marble has lasted through the ages.
