Comparing and contrasting

#1

This model has a full dome then an angular backboard surrounding the back of it which looks like is is going to curve in. Both spaces are defined and easy to pick out but I am not sure what the dialog is.

#2

This models is very circular and the skewers curve into the centers while the shell covers it. They both sort of meet in the middle. I can see the dialog as coming together. Everything about this model works together.

Both of these models have a lot in common. They both bent their skewers in order to form a dome shape and the the Bristol board is formed around the dome. Both spaces in each model are defined with curves.

Understanding DIALOG

My parti/collage consists of my ideas of how I was going to create two spaces using twelve 4"x6" pieces of Bristol board and twelve wooden skewers in order to create two spaces with dialog. My main idea was thing 1 and thing 2. The idea of them both being identical and both working together is what I considered to be a good dialog.

For my sketch model I made a cube using the 12 skewers and divided it using Bristol board. To emphasize my two space I built the cube to where you can separate each triangular side and see the two distinguished spaces by themselves.

In my next model I still have the cube idea but it is made with completely right angles. Also I did not cut out each individual 4"x6" card. I cut out sheets of the Bristol boars which measured 12"x6", and I scored so that you can see each 4"x6" card.

When I overlapped both 12"x6" sheets of Bristol board i them decided to bring the skewers in and have them following the seem. This made the skewers be more related to the Bristol boars and bring more unity to my project.

For the final model the angle are not square. The skewers at an angle make the model more interesting. The dialog in my model is created when both halves ( thing 1 and thing 2) are working together to create the cube.

This was my first orthographic grawing. It was very intimidation but once i started it wasn't as hard as a looked.

understanding UNITY

This is my parti/collage of how i developed my ideas. I wanted an airy feeling to my projects, i wanted the paper airplane to look like it was flying. I also had the idea of evolution which is what I use to connect my project to unity. Things can transform and come together to make something else.

My idea of unity was the evolution of a paper ball into a paper airplane. My first idea was to make two sets of the process and have them going in opposite directions like an "X". This was a good idea but I didn't like how it looked.

My second idea was to have the two sets of the evolution forming a circle on my base. I chose to use plexi glass as a base to give the planes an airy feeling. The paper ball is the lowest point on the circle, which then transforms in a upward motion giving my project a moving and flighty feeling.

Sticks and Cell Phone Models

After we built the models we had to choose our favorite and do an orthographic drawing and a perspective. In my perspective i decided to imply that my structure was very large compared to the human scale. I can see people walking through it.

For this assignemnt we had to get inspiration from a series of drawing we did with sticks and cell phones. This was actually really fun because you could really be creative and we were able to use what we drew to make our models.

This weeks sketchbook assignment was to draw five interior spaces with people. I really think this was hard because the people who didn't know you were drawing them would move or just think you were watching them in a creepy way. I have found that i have a hard time drawing people and I really need to practice that.
