Original Gothic Window
01 ........................................ 2D GEOMETRIC LOGIC Logic of Gothic Windows
This exercise introduces the fundamentals of geometric logic by learning the basics of 2D linework. Using a Gothic window from the 13th-14th century, we did a detailed geometric investigation and then transformed the decorative element of the window. This investigation is guided less by clear logic and more by the complex relaitonships within the design of the Gothic window.

Variation and Mutation Beginning with a classical column order, Exercise 2 focuses on variation and mutation, or variation through mutation. Exercise 2B uses the original classical column order and makes systematic, iterative transformations to change the object’s geomrty into an etirely new one. After changing these objects drastically, Exercise 2C diagrams the process we used to achieve these variations. Through orthographic and axonometric projection, we are able to represent the construction process and geometric logic of the object. As a further exploration of analytical and construction drawings, Exercise 2D further developing the skills needed for analytical drawing. The goal of each of the drawing types done in this exercise is to analyze the logics or systems of an architectural object and then clearly communicate them.

03 ........................................ 3D FABRICATION
Physical Modeling of 3D Objects Focusing on the methods of 3D Fabrication, this exercise is designed to introduce the process of choosing a strategic material and fabrication method that will successfully represent an object. For this assingment, we learned three different modeling types that fit well with the three objects developed in Exercise 2C. Each of these models required the digital create of laser cut files in order to have the pieces for its construction. During this process, it was important to remember that the process by which you model a design can have a great effect on its communication.

Eggcrate

Similar to the Sweep model, Eggcrate models are bi-directional contour models. Using the command “contour�, but this time in both directions. Each of the contours is then made into a planar surface that become the pieces of the model that are notched together.

Using the method of a Layered Contour Model, we are able to communicate the mass and form of objects with complex curvature/geometry. In order to achieve this process, we use the “contour� command at a particular increment that is determined by the thickness of the material being used. The pieces are then stacked to form the original object.

This model uses the unrolled surface model process to bring our lofted planimetric profile objects to life. This process works well for forms that do not have complex curvature and represent form, as well as surface better than most modelng processes.

04 ........................................ 3D FIELDS
Matrices, Microarticulation, and Rendering Exercise 4 was an exploration of 3D fields using architectural roof types that we re-formed and deformed. In Exercise 4A, we began by modeling common roof types and then moved to combine typologies to make variations. Exercise 4B continues with variations of roof types but instead these are constructed through the framing of linear elements. These are derived from the wireframe of edited versions of the cage-edited or flowed along surface roof fields in the last exercise. Exercise 4C explores methods of articulationg the surfaces of the roof fields. Using a 3 D manifestation of panels and a panel grid, you test out which articulation system works best for your roof 3D field system. Last, Exercise 4D was for the production of a rendered image of the 3D fields we have produced. Exploring the tool that is rendering, we were asked to create an abstract render and a realistic one, in order to get a feel for both.
