Doghouse 1: Reflections •

Getting re-acquainted with basic SketchUp tools, operations, and mindset was easier than I imagined…you just need to set aside the time and do it! It took approximately 3 hours to complete Doghouse 1

•

The main purpose of this assignment is to simply use SketchUp to give form to my initial ideas related to a “doghouse”. These ideas are literal and obvious – a good place to begin before incorporating abstract concepts and principles into my SketchUp work.

•

Initial ideas given form led to more design possibilities of shapes, sizes, proportions, detail, finishes, color, and entourage.

•

Tools used (View>Tool Palettes>Large Tool Set): select, rectangle, measuring box, push/ pull, arc, move/copy, scale, tape measure, protractor, orbit, pan, and zoom

•

Dialog Boxes used (Window): Materials, Styles, Scenes, and Shadows

•

Inference tools are important to control placement of objects and relate them to others.

Doghouse 1: Reflections (cont.) •

Right click dialog box was used to hide selected lines.

•

Only 2D components from 3D Warehouse were used to maximize computing speed. The maple tree was selected for its fall colors and copied twice. The dog was resized to 1.5x.

•

Views of Doghouse 1 were saved as .png files and exported to Doghouse 1 folder. It was difficult to save all orthographic views at the same scale and size. When shadows better informed the view, they were used. Need to control what gets incorporated into or removed in each view

•

Incorporating reflections and images into a PowerPoint document identified layout issues related to image size, scale, and placement that was resolved using Shapes>Rectangle>Line Color>Fill Color>Effects (turn off shadow). I suspect using SketchUp Pro layout tools will resolve this. It took approximately 3 hours to produce the first 9 slides of this presentation. It takes time to determine how best to develop and format this portfolio! Hopefully this instructor example will minimize student time spent.

Used perspective and orthographic views to communicate the idea of doghouse 1

2.b. Produce a set of architectural drawings to document a case study

2.c. Produce a portfolio of work that chronicles student learning throughout the semester

Yes

SLO 3: Accurately relate each aspect of the drawn visual language system to three-dimensional reality and human perception

Use of perspective view with entourage and shade and shadows communicates the reality of Doghouse 1. Inclusion of a human figure an other familiar forms gives a credible scale to the doghouse form.

SLO 4: Visually and verbally explain the process of idea development using graphic representation

The process of developing the doghouse included a series of thinking and making cycles. With each completion of a cycle, fragments and general notions eventually became whole, unified, and represented a set of full design intentions. Generating various views emphasized different aspects of form, space, proportions, and composition of design elements.

11/2/15Â

This initial doghouse is obvious and literal with a symmetrical organization of a gable roof, Dutch entry door, and round rear window. This dominant use of symmetry is balanced by an asymmetrical placement of the chimney/ fireplace and the brick covered dais. The space below the maple trees creates an intimate context for the doghouse.

Doghouse 2: " Construction Sequences by Layers

11/2/15

Comparison: Doghouses 1 & 2 Reflection: Doghouse 1 inspired the opportunities to systematically construct Doghouse 2 using Components, Layers, and Outliner dialog boxes. Changes were made not only to the chimney & fireplace form, but also to the dais form. Note slight changes in overall proportions of all design elements. Construction of the gable roof and chimney forms were also more efficiently built. The chimney form also has a hearth, fireplace, and mantel that can be seen when viewing this layer only. With two iterations, new ideas emerged and substantive improvements were possible in both design and construction. Although the extension of gable roof around chimney form in Doghouse 1 may be more interesting because it interjects asymmetry into the gable form. See next page. Next step, Doghouse 3, iteration 3 (copy Doghouse 2) will explore the addition of fenestration and the resultant light impact on the interior space." 11/2/15Â

Doghouse 2: SLO Progress Report SLO 5: Develop an awareness of the relationships between graphic representations and fundamental design principles and elements

11/2/15

Systematically developing Doghouse 2 was only possible as an iteration of Doghouse 2. As such, breaking the form of the house into a “kit of parts” creates design opportunities not possible at the onset of Doghouse 1. Major changes included the following: • Wall and roof surface thickness: 4 inches • Proportional changes to body of house, now 5’ W x 10’D x 10’ H • Chimney design is asymmetrical, but sloping surface is the same 45-degree angle as the gable roof • Dais is higher and incorporates a different stair relationship that aligns only with the house entry. The stairs use 6”R/ 12”T run.

End-of-the Semester: SLO Progress Report SLO 1: Appropriately apply graphic tools, techniques, and conven;ons to create and communicate ideas.

1.a. Effective management of time & resources

Each assignment was developed before issuing to students in order to identify learning opportunities and issues before introducing the problem.

1.b. Draw & Think using analog tools

Students were instructed to duplicate white board demonstrations and examples primarily using rapid visualization techniques; and practice drawing freehand was encouraged in order to work towards a level of mastery.

1.c. Draw & Think using digital tools

Purpose, meaning, and sequencing of modeling activities were linked to design concepts and principles.

1.d. Use Architect’s Scale

Application of basic concepts and use were introduced followed up by exercises that tested related knowledge and accurate application

1.e. Use Engineer’s Scale

Application of basic concepts and use were introduced followed up by exercises that tested related knowledge and accurate application

1.f. Use Measurements dialog box

Using the measurements dialog box promoted thinking and making at specific levels.

1.h. Apply appropriate Perspective Drawing Technique

In both digital and analog form, the perspective systems were introduced and compared in order for students to understand what can be emphasized using 1-, 2-, and 3-pt perspectives

1.i. Create Paraline Drawing(s)

Students were instructed on how to create paraline drawings, specifically isometric and plan/ elevation oblique drawings by using the drop-down menu in “Camera” once the 3D model was developed

1.j. Create Orthographic Drawing(s)

The value of plans, elevations, and sections and their differences were repeatedly articulated. Orthographic views were incorporated into the Learning Portfolios in multiple assignments

1.k. Understand and apply Shade & Shadow

Shade and shadow were explained in both digital and analog form. SketchUp was used as a feedback check after students developed shade and shadow freehand

1.l. Incorporate entourage to enhance credibility

Entourage is used to promote a sense of place (context) and human scale

11/2/15

SLO 2: Select and effectively use either manual or digital means to explore, analyze, and document an evolution of design ideas in architecture and interior design 2.a. Relate modes of representation; select and apply best system to explore and communicate design intentions

The design and communication intentions are correlated with the various modes of representation incorporated into the Learning Portfolios

2.b. Produce a set of architectural drawings to document a case study

Our primary case study was Richard Meier’s Smith House in which we produced a set of volumetric drawings related to his subtractive explorations of orthogonal forms and forms of spaces. A full set of architectural drawings accompany the Final Project, “A Two-Story Cabin w/Loft”.

2.c. Produce a portfolio of work that chronicles student learning throughout the semester

All work was chronologically documented along with written reflections on each student’s learning process.

SLO 3: Accurately relate each aspect of the drawn visual language system to three-dimensional reality and human perception

Particular attention was given to shaping our built environment to evoke spatial experiences in others. Designing and visually communicating these types of spaces was demonstrated in the perspective vignettes included in the Learning Portfolio

SLO 4: Visually and verbally explain the process of idea development using graphic representation

Perspective views, orthographic projections, paraline drawing, and animations are the primary visual tools used to explain design intentions and responses to the context of the problem. The last class meeting includes a student verbal presentation of their Learning Portfolio.

11/2/15

SLO 5: Develop an awareness of the relationships between graphic representations and fundamental design principles and elements

11/2/15Â

Both aesthetic and pragmatic aspects of design were addressed in the development of each assignments. This included basic elements and principles of design. Relationships between material form and qualities of form were related to the shaping of spatial experiences.
