Alexa Medina Vi s u a l i z a t i o n M02 Marc Schaut First Semester - 2021
ELEMENTS At the beginning of the semester we started to explore the different tyeps of joints that we could define and visually create. We led ourselves from our creativity as we combined the built joints. Continuing with combinations we expended our simple joints into big structures.
The first step we began with a set a words in which we then start to draw out what the words will look as a joint and vew what japanese joints. I ended up with 3 sets of joints that I developed from words. Externally Folding, Internally Folding, and Linearlly Intersecting.
LINEARLLY INTERSECTING
Next we had to combine the words with each other. Then in rhino I had to develop them further in Rhino where we had to show the 2D drawings of the models, sections, elevation, and plan

CHOREOGRAPHY
The next step was to choose one of the combined joints and make it out of carboard, wood or foam. I had to develop a choreography in which I will take the model apart while taking pictures of each part coming out. Then I had to choose 3 out of joints.
I further more had to combine the developed word joints that we then had to make a complex joint. In rhino we had to show the model a whole and the disjointed.
OUT OF JOINT
Next I had to expand my joint in a 12had to as well make section and elevation of the joint to see the inside of it and how it looked around. I decided to incorporate the artic views of the joint to see all expanded

RESTING BODY SEQUENCE
As we move into the second part of the semester we began to work on enclosed spaces. As well as how the body moves within a space and the structure. We also began to understnd the flow.
WORKING BODY SEQUENCE
The first step of the second part of the project was to make 2 or 3 body sequences to then make it go into the structure.
The space above is a mix of laying in a space and also providing extra space to allow people to sit.

Next was to expand the structurre more and accomodate the structure to how I will believe it will be best to fit the person. Then we had to lebel where the spaces wil be located.
The space above show in the pictures is a working space in which the person is shown usingthe space as a palce to sit and work. The space below is just a space used for sitting

Next was to make clipping sections of the structure to give more of a clear view on the inside about where the persons space will fit in.
I added shadows to the structure to sows how to sun shines on the strcture and help us indicte which spaces I want that have more/ less light.

Continuing with the shadows we had to do sun studies so that we could understand how the light will work and move t different times of the day. This helped me decide that I wanted to make my working space in the top to give more lgith to that space. The resting space will go in the bottom to give it less light.
We move into the final part of the semester where we begin to learn about surfaces and stairs. We see how these allow for more circulation within the structure and how we beging to move part and modify them into giving each space a purpose.
Moving foward I had to develop a series of stairs each with a different design and see where they will go in the structure and where each will lead to. I also had to develop thresholds for the stairs or certain spaces in the building.
In the drawing above I decided to take out the surfaces, thresholds and stairs to point out where they are located in the structure and show how many they are. Also I decide to make elevation drawing and clippings to shows the structure more in detail.

I brought out the model of the structure with the surfaces and stairs highlited in it; as well one where I shows the south west and north west view of the building.
Next I made the floor plan of each floor and how each floor looks. I also did clipping cuts to the model to show the inside of the floors. As well I decided to add texture to the walla and floors to the spaces in the building, and people to shows how big or small the spaces are.
