Assignment 01 - 60 Images/60 Drawings Assignment 02 - Haptic Object Assignment 03 - Representation

Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

The design approach for this project is based on the microscale and the subjective ways in which we relate to spaces and things around us. The project goes through a process of an initial study to get used to seeing things in a more closer and greater perspective to a translation of what can be seen into a visual representation that distills ideas into our built environment. To do this, I utilize the most basic tool of representation- the line.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

01.1 60 Images/60 Drawings Through a unique Instagram account for this semester, I displayed photographs of the environment around me, paying particular attention to the MICRO. Each image captures familiar things in a new perspectives, like details of textures and patterns, or other qualities, such as time in signs of aging, cracks, and erosion. My objective here is to highlight something in the mundane that we often overlook. Alongside this, I curated and posted 60 images, with a title for each image that acts as an expression of an idea that saw within the image. Instagram: @popsarchstudio

Each row on Instagram would have the numbered pair with the operative word attached (as shown on the left).

The drawing post is posted as a collection, with the drawing without the yellow border is posted as the 2nd slide.

Followed by the personally captuered image. Most images will be zoomed in and/or hyper focused on an element of an object.

Followed by the sketch produced within 30-60 seconds.

SKETCH

The process continues after the extractions from image to drawing. Here, I have experimented with my drawings and ended up selecting 8 drawings among the 60 that I wanted to explore further. I did this by taking micro qualities of these 8 drawings and began to imagine them spatially as reliefs. I practiced my craft through practicing different materials.

01.2 Haptic Object - 4 Hand Held Objects My previous object did not fully fit the essence of what a handheld object is, and to practice translating a relief to an object, I chose 4 successfully done reliefs out of the 8, and created an object for each one. Some constraints in this step are creating an object that fits within a 6X6X6 space and incorporating human silhouettes in different scales to help put each object into different perspectives.

OBJECT 3 SELECTED

Hand Drawn Orthrographic Projection (6’’ X 6’’)

Using orthographic projection, I created hardlined orthographic views of my most successful handheld object at multiple scales. My plan drawing (top view) shows the object at 1:1 scale on 11’’ X 8.5’’ sheet of paper but each projection has been set to a different scale. To convey the scales clearly, I hollowed out your object and populated it in a manner appropriate for the selected scale. My orthographic projection includes 2 section cuts: longitudinal and transversal; and 2 elevations: front and side. After hand drafting, I transfer my projection to Adobe Illustrator to polish the work, as listed to the right.

01.3 Representation Isometric Drawing After practicing my skills with orthographic projections, I used lines and lines line weights to develop an isometric drawing of my object using projection techniques to accurately capture its form and geometry. Using Rhino, series of grids became helpful as a measuring. In order to get this drawing, I also used photographs of my object that mimic elevation views to help determine where the points on your surfaces might be located.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

My object needed more extraction. Recurring feedback that I got from my work was that it was very similar to my relief for the object, and the translation was too direct. In order to let go of the blueprint/root, I created drafts on illustrator to form curves that I later used to draft new objects through sketching, Illustrator and Rhino. Through this process, I was able to develop a new object.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

A folly is an architectural space or structure without any intended purpose or meaning that exists only to be seen or experienced as ornamental, monument, or purely for delight. To develop and create my own folly, I go through a process of precedent research and analysis. Through new skills with digital designing and physical crafting, my folly can be experiences through different forms of media. In additional, rules and regulations were set to assure that my folly has a clear relationship with its site and its site partners, Maithili Sharma and Isabella Gomez. Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

Stucco Folly | 2021 Modern structure that collides cement and plaster materials to create a pavillion for people to explore through wooden walkways. Two main wooden structures are direct passages to neighboring architecture that sit beside it, making clean path flows. The folly sites sits on concrete and wooden mesh, surrounded with trees. Its main goal is to share an airy environment, inspired by elements from oval-shaped precedents.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

The folly project incorporated rules and regulations that bounded each studio mate’s folly to each other. Our final model and drawing scale were expected to be at 1/4” = 1’-0”. Our follies must exist within a cubic measurement of 12”x”12x12” physically and 48’’x48’’x48’’ in Rhino Modeling. Below are additional constricts that needs to be kept in mind throughout our designing process: 1. Each person will have to plan/design/ build their follies within the dimensions of their cube 2. Each person’s cube will have an overground and underground 3. Each person (with an exception of two people who will end up being at either end) will have two “partners”: Partner B and Partner C 4. Each person’s partners should have similar precedents to them. For a better flow 5. Person A, B, and C will need to coordinate their follies and their cubes’ environments amongst themselves.

Researching precedents is an important aspect of my design process. Understanding past projects became vital to moving forward in both iterative and discursive. I researched 4 specific precedents that captivated my interests in elements that I found in my Micro Midterms- layers and open spaces, as the baseline for developing concepts for my own folly. I looked for plans and sections from each follies to extract precedents.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Fall 2021

To reach the Stucco Folly, I went through numerous prcoesses with Rhino modeling and physical modeling, to account for space, material, and pasrtnership with my follyy’s neighbors on site. Through variations and scaling, I have made numerous alters that are influenced by my chosen precedents and my own stylistic choices.

MODELING: FULL SCALE MODEL AND KEY SECTION RELIEF A Key Section Relief of my full scale model helps strengthen the understanding of what it is like to be a user in my folly. A 12’’X4’’X3.5’’ relief was not only a visit of a craft that I learned and practiced in the Miro Midterm, but an epxloration in materials and thickness. I was able to depict another story of curveture in materials and the scaling that my full scale model could not convey.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Spring 2022

In order to understand any environment and its complex definitions and perspectives, it is necessary to understand how an ecosystem can function and its relationship with its built environment. This project investigates how ecosystems and built environments interact and specific skills to illustrate this connection and relationship are displayed through many varies diagrammatic styles. Different building scales and a variety of ecosystems, both abiotic and biotic has been heavily researched. Pop Joslaine Manos - Spring 2022

Governor’s Island, Manhattan: Natural Landforms, Native Wildlife and Plants. Man-Made Landforms and Abiotic

By exploring four different sites of my choice, I was able to briefly examine the different ecosystems found within each of them, both at a microscopic level and a general level. Doing this will allow me to brainstorm more ways I can analyze a site, and break down its biotic and abiotic factors to be better understood by others.

This project intended to develop my conceptual, practical, and experimental knowledge of how building physics work and how comfort is achieved within a space. Basic building design and passive design strategies was explored by making a box for physical experimentation. By doing thar, I understood microclimate, thermal and visual comfort, solar, thermal, and luminous properties of materials, the building envelope, and natural ventilation better. Through dealing with more perimeters such as collaboration, new techno devices, and exposure to various materials, I was taught to adapt quickly to changes around my own ecosystem. Pop Joslaine Manos - Spring 2021

The Passive Design project incorporated rules and regulations that bounded each studio mate’s ideas and skills to each other. In groups of 2, passive design stratgies was explored through making 18” × 18” × 18” box for physicalexperimentation. Below are additional constricts that needs to be kept in mind throughout our designing process: 1. Temperature Data Logger Recorder with External Temperature Sensor must be used to measure and compare the results 2. The interior temperature of the box needs to stay at a constant range of approximately 50°F - 75°F 3. Surfaces need to include transparent, solid, reflective and thermal mass materials (absorptive) 4. The box needs to be exposed to the sun

The intention for designing my own eco-space was to produce an integrated understanding of basic building works such as orientation, form, shading, etc., and passive design strategies like heating, cooling, lighting, etc. within my own ecosystem. Building on top of the knowledge and research gained in my Pocket Park project and Terrarium Experiment, this eco-space provides a multifunctional lounge, work, and exhibit area that considers both the biotic and abiotic factors of its built environment.

RESEARCH CARAVAN Mobile ecospace that encourages safety measures for researchers at Willow while prioritizing and respecting the surrounding built enviornment and ecosystem

Investigating Willow

“NYC Parks-This 93-acre man-made body of sparkling, fresh water is New York City’s largest lake. Meadow Lake is a popular spot for boating, fishing and sailing, making it perfect for a family fun-filled day.”

Heavily influenced by its built environment, the Research Caravan is a mobile vehicle that accommodates the abiotic and biotic factors of my siteWillow Lake at Flushing Meadow Park.

Pop Joslaine Manos - Spring 2022

Willow Lake had been forgotten over the decades which resulted in it being an abandoned habitat with dead ecosystems and contaminated soil and water.

“One partially flooded section of the trail along the Grand Central Parkway is now only barely passable via a ‘bridge’ of rotting junk pallets, sticks, and discarded fencing.”

Pop Joslaine Manos - Spring 2022

The site is also called the Bird Watcher’s Paradise because of its strong birdlife and a recent 2021 initiative will conduct research on the state of Willow and study its native and migratory birds.

The shelled nickel-coated aluminum panels (used for a camouflage effect and act as natural ventilation) imitate that of the most prominent bird in Willow Lakethe Ring-Billed Gulls, whose wings can develop physical changes depending on season and location. 94
