Week 10 - Final Submission

Here are my best 10 images through the duration of this second assessment.

Written Statement

Exploring Light Fantasies in the Ordinary

Aesthetic experimentation with light openings can conceive a fantastical ambience in an ordinary space. As such, unordinary attempts for manipulating light have been made through a living room design. The incorporation of side windows with a stark rectilinear design allows for distinctive triangle imprints of natural light to be marked in the room. Enhancing this imprinting effect is the front porch adhering to this same design with its railing, a cool mystical sense resultingly provided in the space. The implementation of ceiling openings harnesses additional light, although in a different, typical manner due to the rectangular form. Hence, the transformed light openings were moderately successful in creating a fantastical atmosphere in this ordinary space.

Week 8

Photoshopping a model

First Photo

Original photo

Work

This selection of materials gave off a humbling feeling, so the model room could be a place that one can call home. The background selected is infamously of a hilly plain.

Textures (from left to right): ivory wallpaper, mahogany wood, pine wood planking

 Second Photo

Original Photo

Work

The palette of textures in this case is of a sophisticated set of materials, emanating a sense of regality and luxury in the room. The background is a sunset field.

Textures (from left to right): white tarpaulin, white wooden planking, textured wallpaper, blue granite tiling, golden metallic wallpaper

Third Photo

Work

This third range of textures has the theme of calming and relaxation; as such, the suitable background is a beach with a similar colour palette.

Textures (from left to right): blue mosaic tiles, timber planking, white stucco paint

Fusion 360 Work

Here are various material combinations I have applied to the design made on the software.

Combination 1: Pine Wood, Blue Chrome, Green Fabric

I have chosen these materials based on my prior experience in working with materials; I've worked with pine wood for most of my wood-based projects, I enjoy dealing with fabrics in textiles projects, and blue chrome is one of the materials that I'd like to deal with in future projects. 

Combination 2: Blue Granite, Polished Gold

This beautiful combination is one of my favourites; in terms of colours, the navy blue goes hand in hand with shining gold - similar to stars in the skies; and, the sophistication in using a polished metal against a strong substance such as granite substantiates the regal textural qualities.

Combination 3: Mirror, Concrete, Emerald

This material combination reflects my personal outlook on life; a person should always engage in personal reflection, remain humble and concreted, and they should strive to produe the best results as the gemstone they are.

Week 7

Models

Iterative model (1:50): I have improved my workspace by adding side windows with the peculiar sharp pattern I worked with last time. 

I have also transformed the front window into a balcony of some sorts, with the same pattern pertaining to the balustrade. 

Template model (1:100): The model drawn using Fusion 360 has been replicated as this small paper model. It was quite difficult to work with a model this small.

Fusion 360 Work

The initials I included in the form made on this software are J and T. I have omitted the A of my middle name, as it was difficult to shell the work otherwise. 

End.

Week 5

Workspace Models

The particular workspace that I modelled is my living room.

The dimensions of this workspace

Paper model (Scale 1:20): This was quite easy to work with, for folding and cutting. However, as it was quite large, the paper sagged at some parts quite easily.

Cardboard model (Scale 1:20): The cardboard was much stiffer and folded more easily. Cutting cardboard was more of a challenge, and I had to be careful as to not bend it accidentally, as those mistakes could be visible.

Model with folding paper techniques (Scale 1:20): Here, I tried to include as many folding techniques as possible within a reasonable design of the model. Cellophane and paper were used for the model.

Two windows have been added on the sides, and they have sharp patterns across them to add a stained glass quality. The back wall has a herringbone tesselation and v-pleats for decoration.

 A partition has been added to separate the doorway and the inner space. Furniture and a mat have been added for the decor of the space.

Fusion 360 Work

The transitional spaces I modelled on this software were the living room, the kitchen, and the stairs which connect these two rooms.

The dimensions for the rooms

Here is the work. The scale I chose for this model was 1:20.

However, as the components could not fit within the boundaries set - 400 by 120 (mm) - I had to scaled down the components to the scale 1:100.

Previous Work

Here are photos of the earlier models that I have made for the studio activities of Week 5.
These represent the bottom level of my house as well as its exterior facade.

Week 4

Here is the composite of analogue and digital drawings of the grid area C13 on campus.

End.

Week 3

Here is the plan that was drafted up when undergoing an on-site investigation at the grid area C13. The pedestrain movement during that time bracket was also noted throughout this investigation.

The image below of the grid area on the campus map was directly referred to when conducting this primary investigation. 

Here is the orthographic plan regarding the pedestrain movement at the grid area C13, specifically for the time bracket of 3 pm to 5 pm.

End.

Week 2

Here are the photos of distinctive features of the grid area C13, taken for the on-site activities, and their corresponding colour swatches, using Adobe Capture.

The dataset that I have made an infographic for is Students by Discipline. 

 

I chose to make a bar graph to represent the data and, as per the group's decision, choose a pastel colour palette to represent the different types of students taking the course BENV1010. To accentuate the representation of students, I have included stick figure people running about. The immediate background of the graph takes on the textures of Mathews Theatre A, where we attend lectures for this course. All in all, this was an enjoyable work to create.
