ASSIGNMENT 1: HUMAN + URBAN LANDSCAPE

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS A STUDY OF HUMAN IN RELATION TO THE URBAN LANDSCAPE

THERE ARE 6 KEY PHRASES FOR DESCRIBING THIS ASSIGNMENT RELATING TO THE HUMAN AND URBAN LANDSCAPE.

  • LIVING IN A COMPACT ENVIRONMENT.

  • ELEMENTS THAT REPRESENT AN URBAN LANDSCAPE.

  • CITY LIFESTYLE THAT REPRESENTS HUMAN QUANTUM.

  • COMPACITY OF ARCHITECTURE.

  • HUMAN CULTURE IN THE USE OF SPACE.

  • ARCHITECTURE IN RELATION TO HUMAN SCALE.

BASIC RESEARCH:

PICTURES OF THE CITY SCAPE WHICH REPRESENT EACH OF THE 6 KEY PHRASES ABOVE ARE TAKEN.

OUTCOME:

TASK: CREATE A POSTER WITH 3D RELIEF, POP UP, MONTAGE OR COLLAGE TECHNIQUES TO SHOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMAN AND THE URBAN LANDSCAPE.

PHOTOS OF THE CITY LANDSCAPES WHICH REPRESENT THE KEY PHRASES ARE COMPOSED INTO THIS POSTER.

DESCRIPTION

ASSIGNMENT 2: LIGHT + SHADOW

TASK: CREATE A FLOOR PLAN USING SHAPES EXTRACTED FROM AN ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURE'S SHADOW PHOTO. EXPLORATION IS REQUIRED AND ENCOURAGED.

6 PHOTOS TAKEN:

THE TOP LEFT PICTURE WAS CHOSEN FOR FURTHER EXPLORATION. SHAPES WHICH ARE EXTRACTED FROM THE PHOTO ARE EXPLORED BY DISTORTING, EXTENDING, FLIPPING AND RESIZING.

SKETCHES:

SHAPES EXTRACTED FROM THIS PHOTO ARE EXPLORED AND COMPOSED INTO A PLAN.

JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION:

OUTCOME:

THIS ASSIGNMENT REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO HOW UNCONVENTIONAL THE WAYS ARE IN GETTING INSPIRATION FOR IDEAS. JUST GET CRAZY, GET FUN, I GUESS.

ASSIGNMENT 3: HUMAN + SPACES

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF ASSIGNMENT 2. I HAVE TO CONVERT A 2D PLAN TO A 3D RELIEF.

SKETCHES:

I RECORDED THE MEASUREMENTS FOR REFERENCE LATER WHILE EXPLORING AND MAKING THE STRUCTURES.

OUTCOME:
