SELECTED WORKS

Dhara Rakesh Panchal Bachelor’s in Architecture

Annual Pattern

Rachana Sansad’s Academy of Architecture Prabhadevi, Mumbai

OBJECTS: CYCLE AND UMBRELLA SKETCHES: DRAWN FROM MEMORY

SKETCHES DRAWN BY KEEPING OBJECTS IN FRONT RESULT: IMPROVISATION IN TERMS OF DETAILS AND PROPORTIONS

THE CUBE T’s ARE FOLDED IN THIS MANNER TO BUILD THE CUBE.

REDRAWING MINOR DETAILS

EITHER OF THE BLACK AND WHITE COMPOSITION IS USED FOR PLACING 12 CUBES AND CREATING A 3D COMPOSITION.

REFLECTION REFLECTION THE PLACEMENT OF THE CUBES ON THE COMPOSITION IS GOVERNED BY A THEME OF REFLECTION. THIS THEME HELPS IN CREATING A RELATION BETWEEN THE GROUND AND THE CUBES.

T AND CROSS CUTS ARE MADE ON THE COMPOSITION IN ORDER TO BUILD A CUBE.

A WINDOW OF 5 X 5 CM WAS SELECTED TO FIND AN INTERESTING PIECE OF DESIGN

AFTER THE COMPOSITION, IT IS COLOURED BLACK AND WHITE CONSIDERING THE TWO PATTERNS : FIGURE GROUND AND ABSTRACT. IT IS ALSO COLOURED IN TWO SCHEMES: MONOCHROMATIC AND COOL/WARM/TRIAD. THIS PIECE COULD BE ROTATED, SO THAT A COMPOSITION IS OBTAINED.

THIS INTERESTING PIECE OF DESIGN WAS FURTHER USED TO PREPARE A COMPOSITION

The Project increased the observation skills by drawing from memory and then rectifing by looking at the still objects and redrawing. Creativity quotient and composition skills were enhanced.

Key Learning: Process is equally important as the result.

A COMPLETELY PROCESSED BASED PROJECT. THIS INCREASED THE OBSERVATION SKILLS BY DRAWING FROM MEMORY AND THEN RECTIFING BY LOOKING AT THE STILL OBJECTS ANDBasic REDRAWING. Design Studio #01 CREATIVITY QUOTIENT AND COMPOSITION SKILLS WERE ENHANCED.
