Project 01

PROJECT 01 - Character of a Joint & Living Study Space Project one leads students to explore with a very commonly seen construction material - steel. Students study the generic steel joints and learn some of architectdesigned authored joints. Then students use a Hidden Behavior Cheat Sheet with two adjectives as keywords to develop and design their own joints.

Once the joints are well developed, students were asked to design a 10x10x10ft cubic space that provides 2-3 people to use as a living space. With the given site, students use all types of steel beams and designed joints to create the structure referring to their keywords.

Systematic + Order

HIDDEN BEHAVIOR CHEAT SHEET

USC Arch202B: Materiality Studio Bowen Xiong

Definition of Systematic sys·tem·at·ic (adjective)

1. relating to or consisting of a system 2. arranged in or comprising an ordered system 3. presented or formulated as a coherent body of ideas or principles

Describe an Action: (used in a sentence)

Piet Mondrian - Color Composition

1. As Interaction: Occurs in an efficient but robotic appearance following under a set of rules.

2. As Movement: Occurs in moving in a planned route and finish quickly.

3. As Speech: Occurs in speaking with well-thought logical tones.

Designate a Method: (a formal operation) 1. Creating an order and modular design and presenting a formulated principles.

Operations like duplicate, mirror, scale, copy, paste etc. may help to create a systematic space or joints with characters such as modular, symmertry, repetition, and progression.

David Smith - Untitled

Depict in Study: (re-read study) 1. Systematic can be presented in a space with a certain set of rules. The living space will contain variety of spaces and programs, but at the same time they will also follows a series of rules and ordering systems to create scale, symmetry, modules etc..

Characterize your Occupant:

Gerrit Rietveld - Red Blue Chair

This systematric living space will perfectly fit for the group of people who have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, i.e the architectural students who spend way too much time on every single details on their drawings. This particular living space will provide both visual and mental pleasing and easier arrangment during the recess time.

Project 02

PROJECT 02 - Material Representation & Temporary Pavilion Project two mainly focuses on the representation of materials and their textures through colors, lines, and hatches. Students need to find some of the material finishes in their neighborhoods, and document its material character with lines and hatches. They will also design new finishes for each material they documented.

With the finishes students collected in the material practice, they were asked to incorporate those materials to a 500sqft steel constructed temporary pavilion design.

The final deliverables are one black and white poster board and one colored poster board that demonstrate the project in an illustrating way.

While considering the program of use for each spaces, students also need to have their custom designed structural elements throughout the whole building. The final deliverables need to demonstrate a strong design character and explaining the usage of the spaces. All different types of drawings will composed together to a 72x96 dartboard telling the story all at once.
