Clancy is a gigantic spider who tends to live in dark, dank places. Laying claim to a large territory of forest, Clancy is a highly territorial spider who will defend his land by any and all means necessary. He enjoys living a solitary lifestyle, preferring not to be disturbed by anyone, even those of his own species. An avid web-spinner, Clancy enjoys spinning webs on all surfaces which he occupies. He has set up not only a web to protect his building, but a series of webs between the trees which surround his building.
Clancy's dwelling is designed with the structure of a spider in mind. The main structure of the building consists of a small entrance section, the 'head', leading into a much larger living section, the 'abdomen'. Clancy has added to this structure by spinning a grand web which covers the core structure of the building. This is a necessary addition to the building as it is his means for catching his food, along with the many other webs which surround he building. As a spider, who has spent most of his lifetime in a web, Clancy enjoys the comfort of a solid building to provide him shelter, however simple the building is. As a porous structure, the building provides Clancy with a web-like feeling so as to not feel completely out of place int he building.

Daniel Libeskind
Daniel Libeskind is a contemporary architect who has had much success and influence over the past 10 years. With a very distinct deconstructivist style, Libeskind's architecture is easily recognisable and has certain striking features about it.
Jewish Museum, Berlin
The Jewish Museum in Berlin is one of Daniel Libeskind's seminal works, and one of his most wel known. The structure is a large, irregular and fractured metallic shape.
Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario
For the Royal Ontario Museum, Daniel Libeskind created a considerable addition to the existing, 1930s structure. Named the 'Crystal', the structure is comprised of large, irregular shapes that have come to define Libeskind's architectural style.
To represent this piece of architecture, Libeskind uses a combination of physical sketches, models and computer visualisations. The sketches and models of this structure are generally not structurally identical to the final product, but rather slightly abstracted to give an overall feel for what the building will look like.

Once again, Libeskind uses physical sketches as a way of exploring and presenting ideas relating to the structure.

Spore Dwelling/Environments - Clancy
This environment/dwelling is heavily influenced by the spider web, as Clancy is a spider.
In the creation of this dwelling, I was influenced by the Munich Olympic Stadium.
As well as Federation Square in Melbourne.

Spore Creature Creations
Creature 1. 'Bruce' the Shark
Bruce is a highly agressive and territorial shark that lives in shallow waters. Feeding on surfers and their boards, Bruce enjoys the taste of human flesh and it is said that he can smell a human from over five kilometres away.
Creature 2. 'Hoof' the Foot
Hoof is a foot, and a smelly foot, as far as feet go. Hoof lives in shoe cupboards of teenage boys, or wherever shoes tend to pile up when they are not put away properly. Hoof feeds of the rotten smell of the shoes and socks that are thrown into these cupboards. Hoof's fashion consists of Holeproof explorers, for when it's cold, and ankle socks, for when it's hot.
Creature 3. Octo
Octo is a land-dwelling eight-legged monstrosity. A distant cousin of the sea-dwelling octopus, Octo often feels alone in a bipedal world above the waters surface. Octo feeds on anything and everything which has fewer legs than he, seeing them as inferior being, including the occasional human.
Creature 4. Clancy
Clancy is a spider who tends to reside in dark forests. An avid web-spinner, Clancy will spin a web on any and all surfaces he can get is hands, or hairy feet, on. Clancy's diet consists mainly of flies and other flying insects which are caught in his spectacular webs.
Creature 5. Dalek
Dalek is a robot which comes from the planet Skaro. Being an emotionless robot, the Daleks enjoy binary code, complex math and killing all humans. Being the last of its kind, this Dalek should feel lonely, but it doesn't, because its an emotionless exterminating machine.
