drawing is visualization of conceptual notions. Instead of literal translation from what one observes, drawing shows a greater influence in an analysis of a particular scenario. This project tries to produce drawings based on the analysis of a chosen object - a can opener. Differernt studies are done about the object on the basis on its motion, form, operating methods and scale. Drawings are produced based on different stages of studies.

a can opener undergoes a cycle when it opens a can. Its knob rotates such that the blade follows the pathway of can. The sketch shows the cycle by drawing the obervation of can opener from different perspective throughout the cycle.

the sketch determines the extent that a can opener can archive in its motion of spanning. Different degrees of angle is resulted. A intriguing observation is resulted - the form of the object is determined by its motion. Different extend of motion results in different forms.

the 2nd drawing examines the object by protraying its span of rotation from a top to bottom perspective. It also breaks down internal components of the can opener to examine the relationship between operative components.

drawing. The sketch protrays two different scales of the operative components of the can opener. They are layered in a certain orders. The notion of order also suggests the practicality of the object.

scale two scales are applied in the drawing simultaneously, it shows the duality in terms of scale. The change in scale reveals more detail in composition of the object.Also two perspectives of viewing are applied - the plan and axonometric perspective.

The sketch continues the language of scale by scaling up all the operative components
in the previous
drawing. However, it removes the contrast in scale, it shows only a larger scale instead. The sketch shows the concept of axonometric drawing in ordering the components of can opener. Axises are crossed in order to show the relationship of positive and negative side of the object. 15

coexistence coexistence is the major concept of the drawing board. This idea is conveyed by the action of disassembling the internal components of can opener and assembling them back in a virtual way. The drawing shows exaggeration “to scale” by enlarging the scale of drawing into a greater extent. Such exaggeration of scale inverts the percepted view towards to object from a normal perspective. The concept of scale eventually brings out the major concept of the drawing. The idea of coexistence also exists in its way “to locate” Two oppositely oriented axises are located to arrange the order of layering of the gears. The method of location embodies the concept of postive and negative side of the object. The protrayal of the gears’ motion tries “to model” the process of its operation. The drawing is not bound by the boundary, the board is “to enclose” the drawing, but it means to be infinite and continues beyond its boundary.

exploration shows the process of development of a chosen prototype suggested in the early stage of the project. The model of “concept� was developed in this project as the prototype shows a high flexibility and diversity in its development compared to the other two models that are translated from some literal maening.

The axonometric drawing examines the relationship between individual “disassembled” space and the sharing
“assembled” space. The shading area signifies the space
that is assembled where the circulation within the room ends.

the final model is a visualization between the concept of the drawing board and the previous exploration and development of project. It visualizes a three diemensional space that gives the spatial experience generated from the concept of a two dimensional drawing. Such visualization also turns something conceptual into definable as it translates a drawing to a space. The definition
44
is articulated by the function of space that activates actions of people within.

concept of conexistence in the drawing board - the assem-
blence and disassemblence of the gears of a can opener. The contrast in idea results in an intriguing tension. To further develop the relationship between the drawing room and drawing board. The pattern of circles are extracted as an initiation of the thinking process in the construction of plan of the room. Through the overlap of circles, pattern is resulted as the plan for the further development. The development process focuses on the thickness and spatial experience within. Thus, the final model is resulted.

i n d i v i d u a l i t y “Individuality is assembled by idividualities� individuality of each unit represents the idea of disaasemblence
because its existence represents a uniqueness and inrreplacebility of the space. Within the individuality, the room contends the individualities within individual-
ity, that is the coexistence of space defined diversely
46
d i s a s s e m b l e n c e
each of the cabinet is dissected to into individualities that
assemble the space since the cabinet is disassembled
into two spaces that are defined by actions taken within
but they are assembled into a individuality by the connection of transition space. The change of datum level also gives clues to the discrete separation of function.

concept of assemblence is shown through the process of combining different units together.
A sharing space
- the central atrium is eventually resulted from the overlapping and combina-
tion of space. The final model shows an individuality by the assemblence of the other individualities.

taking
the inspiration from Cabinet of Curiosities,
space is de-
fined by its nature of articulating different kinds of action within. The drawing room would like to convey similar ideas of function within a room. Thus, the room of coexistence is also defined by three kinds of function that is to “store”, to “view” and to “exchange”
61
to view the 1st function of the room is to view as the room serves as the space to display drawing so that people can view the artwork within. the action takes place on the right hand side of each cabinet
62
to store the 2nd function of the room is to store. The space to store further develops the language of the curve of the structure. The action takes place on the left hand side of each cabinet
63
to exchange the 3rd function the room is to exchange. The action of exchange happens at the central atrium which is the sharing space of the room. the datum of atrium is raised

The drawing tries to unfold the model and arrange the unfolded planes according to a certain order. The way of unfolding and ordering echoes with the concept used in the drawing board. The disassemblence of can openers and assemblence of gears in an axonometric order. The unfolding section also shows relationship between space. Level of datum is changed continuously throughout the section of cabinets. Also, the section clearly shows the dissection of space into two discrete function. The section is related with the plan of the room at the middle part of the drawing.
