Blackbird

Project 1: Personal Space

PROJECT 1 BEGAN WITH DOCUMENTING THE PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS OF OUR OWN PERSONAL BODY AND ASSEMBELING THESE MEASURMENTS INTO A DIAGRAM. THE MEASUREMENTS SHOULD HAVE AN IMPLICATION OF MOVEMENT OUR CHOICE AND PUT IT INOT A NEW “TYPOLOG” OF A VERTRUVIAN DIAGRAM. THE ACTIVITY I CHOOSE WAS PLAYING THE GUITAR. I PLAYED THE SONG “BLACKBIRD” BY THE BEATLES BECASUE OF PAUL MCCARTNEYS RHYTMIC CHORD PROGRESSION THROUGH THE SONG. IN THE DIAGRAM I CAPTURED THE MOVEMENT OF MY HANDS AND THEY MOVE THROUGHOUT THE FRET BOARD OF THE GUITAR ON MY LEFT AND AND THE FINGER PICKING ON RIGHT.

Project 1.3: Personal Space

.THE SECOND PART OF PROJECT 1 WE HAD TO DOCUMENT ANOTHER INTERACTION BUT, THIS INTERACTION HAD TO INVOLVE AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE. THE DIAGRAM SHOULD BE MOVEMENT BASED AND DOCUMENTED NOT ONLY IN A 2D FORMAT, BUT EVENTUALLY ALSO DEVELOPED INTO A 3D FORMAT. EMPHASIS SHOULD BE MADE ON THE SPATIAL RELATIONSHIP AND MOVEMENT. THEREFORE, FOR THIS DIAGRAM I SELECTED A GAME OF CHESS. I DOCUMENTED THE MOVEMENT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE PLAYING A GAME OF CHESS. EACH REPRESENTED THE MOVEMENT OF THE HAND ANC CHESS PIECE. WHILE THE RED LINES INDICATED A PIECE BEING TAKEN. ULTIMATELY THE 2D DRAWINGS WAS TURNED INTO A 3D AXON

Project 2: Street Space

IN PROJECT 2 WE RESEARCH AND ANALYZE, STUDY AND EXPLORE THE STREET SPACE BY LOOKING AT A PRECEDENTS INTERNATIONALLY AND WITHIN OUR OWN AREA. WE BEGAN P2 BY LOOKING AT A STREET WITHIN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. AFTERWARDS WE COMBINED THE IDEAS FROM OUR PRECEDENTS AND DESIGNED A HYBIRD STREET. THE GOAL WAS TO LOOK FOR POSSIBLITIES FOR WHAT A STREET WOULD LOOK LIKE IN 20 YEARS FROM NOW.

Project 3: CITY SPACE

IN PROJECT 3 WE HAD TO WORK WITH THE IDEAS FROM PROJECT 1 AND 2 TO PRODUCE A SITED PROPOSAL. THE HYPOTHETICAL IS THAT BURBANK AIRPORT HAS BEEN RELOCATED, WHICH THEN ALLOWS FOR A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD, A NEW CITY OF THE FUTURE TO BE BUILT IN THIS LOCATION. AS PART OF THE PROJECT WE HAD TO DOCUMENT, ANALYZE, AND DIAGRAM THE SURROUNDNG PROJECT NEIGHBORHOOD. ULTIMATELY, DESIGN A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AS A SECTION OF THE BURBANK SITE, LIKELY PARCELED IN 1800 X 1800 AREAS. THE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF A NEW SUPERBLOCK.
