SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats The first exercise was interesting and demonstrated all basics commands of skechtUp. All projects have a context and a client so my clients were Chico and Marshmallow how wanted a new house for two, respecting their sizes. The software was easy and intuitive to deal with, making the “Dog House 1” a fast and funny exercise. Exploring the program content is possible to discover that the program looks likes simple but there is a lot of options to use that could help during projects presentations. One good example of it is “section plan” that provides sections and floor plans in one click. To make this type of representation works, is necessary to paint all inside faces of the wall making a sort of solid hatch. Another important command is inside of “camera” and controls views (perspective, two points perspective and parallel projection). Before exporting images is necessary to check camera view and shadows. At least all the range of components in 3D Warehouse helps putting vegetation, people and animals and also any kind of object or furniture.

SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Chico and Marshmallow are back to build a new beach house. More complex than “Dog House 1”, the second dog house is bigger and I used more functions to make the 3D model. At “Dog House 2” components and blocks were the most important functions of the week. To create multiple objects as columns, once I “make a component” if I need to adjust one, all is going to be up to date automatically. I also used layers in the model, the easiest way to control different components, groups and elements is to create layers. With layers defined is easy to adjust, turn on and off and especially before export 2D images is possible to turn off parts that is not necessary to the view. My model worked well during the whole process and SketchUp has an Autosave that is really helpful when the program shut down with a message of “Bug Splat”.



WEEK 02


Modeling with cubes in the space. This exercise is a practice to draw in two point perspective.

The Cube Pavilion

INSPIRATION UK Pavilion, Expo 2015, Milan Italy While I was doing this exercise I remember the Uk Pavilion of Expo that I had the opportunity to visit last year. I conclude this exercise after the week 2. Cubes in orange represent the path that visitors could follow.

The Cube Pavilion

SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats ’27 cubes’ model was good to visualize how 2 points perspective works and helped on hand drawing practice. I wasn’t in class at the first meeting on week 2 so I tried to catch up doing also ‘The Cube Pavilion’. It was an experiment to explore how cubes in array change when put together in a dense context. One important command was ‘array’ that is possible through ‘move’ + ‘ctrl’ and followed by ‘number of repetition’ + ‘x’. Initially I array all cubes without creating a block, but than I realize that was easier to erase cubes that don’t want if they were blocks. My challenge on week 2 was to do the exercise in a delay context. I created a strategy that is to do the work of the current week and than catch up with the delay work.

Floor Pattern Studies


Changing the floor pattern in the same space makes a room look like different in a sensory way and in a spacial way too.


Floor Pattern Studies


A way to create different possibilities is to draw a “tile� and think how it is going to be assemble. In these cases above, rotating, copying and changing color of tiles changed the flooring pattern completely.


Floor Pattern Studies

SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats During the week 3 exercises I tried to combine hand drawing and Sketch Up model to optimize my work. While I was creating new patterns using the ideal of a tile that repeats in different positions I realize how faster is to think and draw (by hand) what I want first and that go to Sketch Up and reproduce in the 3D model. I didn't have any trouble with the software this week and everything works as I wanted to.



WEEK 04


Matrix of Possibilities 8 types of wall in floor plan and 3 different variations in elevations.


Wall Themes and Variations Study

INSPIRATION Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey, Planet Earth Martians came to Earth to get inspiration from ours best samples of architecture. To project the new conference building in Mars the Hagia Sophia building was use as inspiration to create the core of the new building.

Creating Domes - Martians New Conference Building

SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats The week 4 exercises were fun and I tried to explore as much as possible the ‘follow me’ command. In the Martians New Conference Building I used ‘free hand’ to create the path for the handrail. To draw with ‘freehand’ I create first a plan in the z axes to use as a base and than ‘follow me’ worked as I expected. In class I had no problem doing a traditional handrail, using ‘divide’ to set the location of the intermediate profiles. I didn’t have trouble with the domes, the only thing that sometimes I needed to do was intersect two geometries to erase part of the dome that was built wrong. I enjoy choosing the ‘style’ of this project. Is great to know that sketchUp give some options to control background colors in a quick way.



WEEK 05



Greek Village

INSPIRATION Greek architecture, Mykonos, Greece The Village exercise starts in class to practice ‘follow me’ doing domes and handrails. My choice was to create a dense, blue and white village, as the scenery in Mykonos.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Week 5 stars with a review of ‘follow me’. Greek Village wasn't a planed project, but at the end it becomes really close to the famous Greek building in Mykonos Island. In short this exercise was a review of last week.


Created by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536–1546, the original Piazza del Campidoglio is located in Rome, Italy.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Piazza del Campidoglio was a really interesting exercise. Show the process step-by-step is a powerful tool that can be used to show an architectural concept for example. The challenge of this exercise was to identify all lines an erase it correctly. I finished the 3D model in class and was a fast exercise. To generate the images I made bird’s eye views to show the draw in the floor. I also created elevations to demonstrate the horizontal scale of the place.



WEEK 06


From 2D to 3D - Malevich Pavilion


Malevich Construction

INSPIRATION ‘’Malevich worked in a variety of styles, but his most important and famous works concentrated on the exploration of pure geometric forms (squares, triangles, and circles) and their relationships to each other and within the pictorial space.’’ (http://www.theartstory.org/)


OBSERVATORIUM

RUSSIAN ART BUILDING

RECEPTION / MAIN ENTRANCE

The Malevich Pavilion of Art is formed by the Tower of Modern Art, a 10 store tower with walls full of paintings and sculptures.

TOWER OF MODERN ART

A observatory between the Russian Art Building and the Tower of Modern Art that allow people to see the landscape and also to contemplate the pavilion itself. On the ground floor the complex is full of geometric sculptures that complete the experience of being inside of a Malevich world.

Malevich Construction

SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Malevich Building was an precious exercise. Looking to a draw and create it as shape in 3D is something really comum in design. The greatest thing about this work was that the painting is formed by simply shapes but once extruded it could became a fabulous building complex. Even if I had tried to create spaces in the pass exercises this one was the one that plan more access and circulations, thinking in a real pavilion. I decided to used similar colors of Malevich painting because I like the idea of having a top view that is really close to the original painting. I struggle to finish the work in the due date. And didn’t have enough time to enrich my model with more details.



WEEK 07

Walking platform


Wall Studies Morphology

INSPIRATION The Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco “The CJM selected architect Daniel Libeskind in 1998 to design its new home. In the design for the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Libeskind responded to the Museum's mission to be a lively center that fosters community among people of diverse backgrounds through shared experiences with the arts by focusing on the celebratory nature of the Jewish experience.� (http://www.thecjm.org/)



Wall Studies Morphology

SWOT

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Leaning walls: beauty or beast? During this exercise the class create a group of leaning walls that form a interesting space with shadow and light. I instantly remember the Jewish museum in San Francisco with all these leaning walls forming a contemporary shape inside of the old brick building. One important observation about leaning walls (and this exercise make me think about it) is the requirement of the ADA and California Chapter 11B codes. I had studied a lot these codes in my volunteer work and leaning walls could be a real headache for blind people. In this exercise I saw the possibility of think about the space (even if after the 3D was done) and imagine people using it. The design could be an opportunity to create a great space to everyone. To illustrate what the code request and to prove that my week 07 model has a terrible form, I used the 3D model to do a section showing how leaning walls could be a issue.


Wall Studies Morphology

The cane will not touch the lowest part of the building without the user hit the leaning wall. The solution used in the Jewish museum was a cane rail installed in the ground leaving the head clearance of 80’’.
