Shadow Finding and Relationships of Different Perspective



___________________________________________

Floor Patterns from SketchUp

Analysis In this week of study, I learnt the relationship of different perspectives, and how to make a group and component. The weakness in this week was that I couldn’t take fast notes in class while conducting the model and I didn’t review the new material that I’ve studied in class in time, which leads to more time spending after class to recall the points from class and to organize it. Thus, in the future class, I will try to take fast notes and review the new materials in time. Last but not least, I’m looking forward to learn more advance skills in this class.


Week 4


Side Perspective

Front Perspective


Right and Left Perspective

Back Perspective


Two Point Projection: Back

Analysis:

Parallel Projection: Front

This week we practiced intersection and follow me tool in SketchUp. In this model I built, I used intersection to make the front and back door; and I used follow me tool to built the staircase handrail. When I was planning how to build the this model, I did some research of the dome architecture, and I learnt a lot of history and types of dome architecture. I also felt nerves when I was trying to make a complex design and found that I didn’t have that level of skill yet. I need to practice more about the new skill that I have learnt, and make it become of skill of mine.

Week 6 Malevich Inspired Construction


Perspectives



Analysis: In this project constructing building inspired by Melvichi, we used repetitive pattern to create a fascinated feel. To do so, we set up different groups and layers to edit it. Also, we use bright colour to differentiate different parts of the building. In addition to the main building, I built a exterior area to extend the space according to the irregular geometry and made an artificial waterfall. Although I can make the building generally, I need to practice my creativity. And be able to foresee the model and the process to create it, since sometimes I have an idea in mind, and lost in where to start. I think the Russian architecture is a very good study material to practice creativity, since Chernikhov’s drawing shows a lot of complexity.


Week 7

Wall Studies


In this wall design, I try to create a rest space where is quite and comfortable by using different oriented and shapes of wall and import a tree to achieve it.

This wall is made of concrete, although this material looks cold and uncomfortable, I add two yellow glasses of light in the middle, to balance.


This wall I use a warm material-wood for the sitting panel, and a yellow light next to it and a glass for sunshade to increase the brightness.


In the interior of this model, I made the celling different height of inside and outside area to increase the inside space.


Perspectives


This model is inspired

by camping tent, I made different triangle geometries and with a large windows to enlarge the space in vision, and the windows can lead lots of sunshine in to express the comfort.


Perspectives


Analysis This project is creating various types of wall with window opening. In the beginning of this project, I was stuck in making a normal types of wall, and felt hard to create walls beyond usual ones. Also, the scale is kind of hard for me to control, it took me some time to decide the scale. But as I keep doing some research and keep making, I was kind of get the sense of creating different shapes. The threat is that the beginning is always hard and takes long time to get into creating. This project help getting us into thinking about the interior design.
