Project 03_Phase 05: Drawing, Diagramming and Modeling (part 1)

Homework due by Wednesday, Nov 20

1. For floor plans, please use theme (in quotation mark) to name each of your exhibition spaces. Then add panels in these spaces, in order to show how you want to organize the movement of the visitors in these spaces. This is how you can strongly relate back to your design concept. Joel did a very good job in fulfilling this, I encourage you all to look at his floor plans. The following are some examples. These "panels" could be angled, curved, big like a platform, or small like a point. You should still remember how we talked about "points/dots", "lines/edges" and "planes/surfaces". Once again, refer back to your model matrix and be creative ("go wild").







2. By this point, some students still have single lines for walls in the floor plans, no doors, no arrows/break line/hand-rails on the stairs, and that is just unacceptable. I will refuse to look at those drawings, if you do not take your own work seriously. I urge you to double check or ask your classmates to check for you on these mistakes (don't be afraid to ask for help), and then when you come and talk with me, we can be a lot more productive.

3. For sections, DO NOT FORGET handrails for stairs and outdoor exhibition on the upper floors. Please mark the height of each floor. See examples below.



In terms of line weight in a section drawing. There are only two parts that should be differentiate by line weight: the "cut" (thick or poche) and the "non-cut" (thin). Reason being the purpose of a section drawing is to show the configuration of the "cut" part, just like a floor plan, which floor plan is basically a section drawing, but a horizontal section (you already know this, right?). So please do not worry about the depth of the "non-cut" parts in a section drawing. Please see examples above or below.



3. Please include people/trees and hand-rails in elevation and sections.

4. Johna and Alex did good job on the see-through isometric drawings, please go and check out their drawings (although their path analysis part needs a little bit more work). Phen is creative in the path/circulation analysis, please also look at her drawing. It is very important that first of all your isometric view needs to be very clear, and then add your path analysis. Joel did a good job on path analysis, but the clarity of the iso itself needs to be improved.

5. Do not forget to divide the materials on your facade design, eg. the supporting system for your glass. Rethink the color choice for your elevation, and make sure they look harmonious together. Remember, only 4 colors in total are allowed on the entire board. Google "professional color schemes".



5. If you have talked with me today, after you make the changes according to my comments, please pin your big sheet on your wall area. That will show me that you are moving on. The rest of the students, you need to work faster, and you need to move forward after Wednesday class.

6. On Wednesday, you need to turn in perspective drawings, interior and exterior. Check the checklist about this. Rendering not required. Line drawing would be fine, or see-through perspective view at eye-level.



7. After checking your perspective drawings on Wednesday, you will be moving forward on your own pace. If you want me to give you comments or feedback on some diagrams or drawings, please just let me know. By Friday, you need to finish 50% of your final model and put a black sheet of paper on your site model for your river. On Friday, we will also have a short group discussion, and let your group members critique on your progress - show them what you have finished by that day, and see what you can improve or need to change.

Good luck!
