ANIMATION MAPPING SPACE FORM POJECT 1
3 2022
EXERCISE 1
AnimationThe purpose of this exercise was to chal lenge students to become more adept into understanding the architectural language of representation of 3D space through 2D. We were given the choice to choose an object of our own and find a way to animate its function. I decided to animate an umbrella. Not only was an umbrella perfect for this exercise due to it’s many factors (joints, fabrics, the orien tation of the object), but it also removed the boring nature of the exercise by giv ing the artist different paths to go about in the exercise. This exercise consists of two steps: dissection and animation.

Dissection
In this step, we are dissecting our object to see the inner and outer lay ers of said object. The top left corner is a plan, bottom left is an elevation, and the bottom right is the section.

Base layer
The umbrella in this layer is unfinished and lacks many features. It does not meet the standard of architectural expectations by having handrawn lines making it look sloppy and unproffessional.
Starting Position
Drawn in red, the umbrella is in its starting position: unopened.
Guide Lines
Although very messy, each line serves a crucial purpose in setting up the final animation. The straight lines help measure the width and length of each part of the umbrel la. The circle lines represent the umbrella’s ribs’ range of motion.

Itteration 1
In this animation, the umbrella is being opened during a windy day. In the first six frames, the umbrella opens normally, but the last frame swings the umbrella’s ribs open as the wind’s strong force pushes against the umbrella’s canope.
Final
The animation is completed with cleaner rulered lines, shades representing different materials, and improved style.
Final Position
Completed in red colored pencil, the umbrella is drawn in it’s final position.

Physical Model
Tasked to study Toyo Ito’s White U house design, I was able to create a model that resembles the core fundamentals of his building. Although the White U only had 1 floor, I thought tripling everything about the design woud result in something interesting. The basic foundation of my building consists of a V shaped floor which is then copied and rotated 180 degrees onto the next floor, and then again. Each floor is then stacked upon one another resulting in an “I” and “t” shape on both ends of the model.
