Exercise 01A: Dissection Size: 18in x 24in Materials: Bristol Paper
Exercise 01 was extremely focused on technical drawing by hand. In 01A, Dissection, we focused on accurately representing our chosen object through plan, section, and elevation. In 01B, Animation, we focused on picking a motion for our object, and representing it through technical drawing. I chose to show the assembly of the water bottle and the process of drinking from a water bottle through a series of sections.

Exercise 02 explored the relationship between 2D and 3D. We started by coming up with a rule to create a 2D surface map of a cube, and then transformed this into a 3D model. Afterwards, we used different materials to represent what we took from 2D and to create new 3D voids in the model. Another important focus of this exercise was the use of rules in guiding design.

Exercise 03 further explored the transition from 2D to 3D by doing this cycle twice. First, using a strict set of rules, I created a series of 2D collages. Then, I took each collage, combined it with another person’s rule, and used that to transform the collage into a 3D model.

To continue the cycle of 2D-3D-2D-3D, I took each of my models and created 2D elevation digital drawings of them. Afterwards, I switched my elevation drawings with other people. Taking the new elevation drawings that I received, I created a series of steps to turn each of them into a 3D digital model.
For my final project, I created a pavilion for displaying airplane parts. My goal for this project was to emphasize the weight of the airplane and to create a space where people could get close to parts they normally wouldn’t be able to.
