3D-Design Procedures and Practises By Gareth Bulger
AutoCad Floor plan and Elevations For this task, we was assigned to replicate a mock-up of the lower ground floor plan of Salford Universities Art and Design building. After obtaining the numerical data such as the scaling and sizes of every aspect of the floor, we then transformed our gatherings into an AutoCAD drawing and then transferred that to Google SkecthUp. SkecthUp was then used to create a small representation of the area. To add, I beforehand researched a structural engineer called Vladamir Tatlin who created such structures as the pylon to large structures such as bridges which can be seen in Valencia to Strasbourg.With my findings, I then used sketchUp and my ground floor model to create an art gallery, showing off his work and creating a small exhibition.

(G)These above are two separate walls which are located next to the toilets and the entrance which leads on to the stairs.
(B)These are located at the back section of the building. one piece is a glass panel which windows a room at the back of it.

Completed Model Below shows my completed model which was created from foam board and card.
Artist Inspiration: Vladimir Tatlin
His work is presented on a big scale as he created and designed pylons throughout the mid 1800’s.
The use of heavy materials are cleverly suspended on an angle to create an overhang, which gave me the idea to include such objects as spirals, curves and anything which is continuous into my sketch-up model. Vladimir’s work looks towards structure, space and using only a small range of different materials to combine his monuments which can be seen around the page.
The combination of different metals are welded and bent to create this bespoke piece above. The metals used are rusted to create a weathered effect.
This image above shows a representation of a small structure which realistically would be the height of 5.5 metres. it represents a much earlier piece which Vladimr made throughout the early stages of his structural designing background.
This view above shows some portraits of Vladimir throughout his life and also a small range of his prints and acrylic artwork which he created.
Even if the gigantic amount of required steel had been available in bankrupt post-revolutionary Russia, in the context of housing shortages and political turmoil, there are serious doubts about its structural practicality.
