House Site Plan





























The house plan was a very entertaining assignment to draw. I had to remember how the elevation of my house looked.

Site Plans

TOPOGRAPHY LINES

When drawing this site plan I had to darken the topography lines and make the building lighter. Also on this same Site Plan I have drawn the North Arrow and also the way the sun shadows the building.
When drawing this Site Plan I had to darken the building and make the contour lines lighter so that the building would stand out.

DIALOG Questions

HOW IS DIALOG CREATED?
IN MANY PROJECTS THE 4x6 NOTECARDS CREATED A FORM OF INTERTWINING, WHICH CREATED THE OVER ALL MODEL TO COMMUNICATE . ALSO HAVING 2 SEPARATE KINDS OF MODEL CREATING TWO DIFFERENT SPACES, MADE THE BIGGER FORM COMMUNICATE WITH THE SMALLER FORM WHICH MADE A DOMINANT CONVERSATION.

HOW IS SENSE OF SPACE/PLACE DEFINED?
TO ME WHEN I SAW ALL THE PROJECTS YOU COULD TELL THAT SOME PROJECTS HAD MORE THEN ONE SPACE. HOWEVER, YOU COULD TELL WHAT WHERE THE MAIN 2 SPACES BY LOOKING AT THE SIZE OF EACH. YOU KNEW THAT THE LARGEST SPACES WHERE THE MAIN ONES.

HOW IS IDEA OF SYSTEM GENERATED?
SYSTEM IS CREATED BY A CONTINUATION OF SOMETHING. IN ONE PROJECT THE SYSTEM WAS CREATED BY SPLITTING THE SKEWERS THROUGH THE CENTER AND NOT NECESSARILY CUTTING THEM OR BREAKING THEM.

HOW DOES THE JOINERY SUPPORT THE PROJECT CONCEPT/STRATEGIES?
JOINERY IN MOST PROJECTS WAS CREATED BY CREATING A STRUCTURE OF SKEWERS TO HOLD ANOTHER STRUCTURE THAT WAS CREATED BY THE 4x6 CARDS.

HOW IS SCALE UTILIZED IN THE PROJECT?
OVERALL THE SCALE OF ALL PROJECTS WAS CONSISTENT BECAUSE THE SCALE HAD TO BE ACCORDING TO THE SIZE OF YOUR MATERIALS. IN MANY PROJECTS SCALE HELPED DETERMINE THE SPACE. ALSO THEIR WAS PROGRESSION FROM SMALLER TO BIGGER.

HOW DO TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES ADD TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT?
WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE GRAPHICS YOU SEE THAT THEIR ELEVATION DRAWINGS SHOWED MORE DETAIL THEN WHAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE IN THE PROJECTS. YOU CAN ALSO USE 2 DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS TO LOOK AT THE SIMILARITIES OF A PRECEDENT AND WORK YOU WAY TO CHANGING SOME THINGS AND CREATING SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN.

HOW DID THE INITIAL PROJECT IDEA EVOLVE?
MANY PEOPLE USED THEIR PAST PROJECTS (UNITY). BUT ALSO MANY PEOPLES IDEAS CAME FROM PRECEDENTS.

Final Light Fixture


I really enjoyed working on this fixture. I found that drawing the ceiling was very interesting.
One thing that I found very helpful when drawing the ceiling was using a small viewfinder.

Cont. of Dialogue


































After working with the previous model I found a way to instead, join the two circles made from the 4x6 paper and spreading them out to form a fan looking model. One thing that will be changed on this model for my final one is that as you can see from the top the sticks are just there placed in between the two circles. Instead the sticks will communicate with the creases on the paper to create a dialog there

Dialog Sketches





This is the most recent project I have been working on. We are suppose to create two spaces using 12 skewers and 12 pieces of bristol board that is 4 x 6 to create dialog. Overall I have decided to change the way the project will stand but I will keep the way the paper is folded
