FURTHER IDEA SKETCHES pt 1

                                           EXPERIMENTATION SESSION


Week 6 began with tutorials but in the second session, an experimentation class was done. This experimentation session was held to enable us to use a different medium for our sketches, alter the overall design, change the general outlook, or try out different colour palettes. I was really looking forward to this session because I did  not have a concrete idea planned out of what my final outcome would look like hence, I was really looking forward to this session 


                                 

                                               
                                                        BUILD UP OF MY SKETCHES 




This was the first main sketch I made after the crazy 8 idea generation in week 1. Since my project is an art gallery, I was going for a contemporary outlook regarding the design. Hence, flowing organic lines are present as well as glass windows. However, this sketch was not satisfactory so I continued with the process.







This was the second sketch I made which also does not have shape or form. I made this sketch to see what I could do with straight lines instead of curvy and wavy lines. I was still not satisfied so I moved to the next step.







I made this rough sketch with the idea of the dead flower from the object inspiration task in mind. I made the three floors look like curved petals to have a broad visualization of what it would look like. This drawing was basic and below average so I decided to take it up a notch by drawing by taking the angles into consideration









This was the first 3-dimensional sketch I made. I was envisioning a three-story building with an open-top roof. I did this using the oblique perspective technique where a 3-dimensional shape is sketched using a 45-degree angle. This sketch has the front elevation being the most visible and the left elevation being scarcely visible.

SITE PLAN ANALYSIS

                  PROJECT SITE PLAN A site plan is a bird's eye view sketch of a region or area. In order to enhance the site plan, an analysis also has to be made of the climate, transport and accessibility in the town or region.  The map above illustrates the precise location of the Golden Horizon Apartments. It is located in Cromwell, Connecticut directly opposite the St Elizabeth Seton Church. The area of the site is 79,119.77 m² and the total perimeter is 1,138.3 m. The site consists of four main apartment blocks, underground parking, ground-level parking, playground as well as an outdoor lounge not forgetting the garden. The image above is of vegetation that has currently been burnt down. However, in my site plan, I included new layouts of plants that will be cultivated to restore nature's balance. To aid in accessibility there are two roads which are Brooke Street road and the Hawthorn Circle road which residents can use...

                                 JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE This post is mainly an expansion of my previous post regarding my idea generation. The Social Housing sector demands precision and the ability to experiment with varying ideas. Hence, this task I would say was coincidentally given to me to challenge me and pull me out of my comfort zone.  For this blog, I will conduct research into Jean Nouvel who was and still is one of the most influential and creative Architects France birthed.  JEAN NOUVEL  Jean Nouvel was born in the year 1945 in Fumel, France. After he enrolled at the Ecol des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, he obtained the first position in the entrance exam due to his high intellect and intelligence in the year 1966. He then went on to further his undergraduate studies and obtained his degree in the year 1971.  He began his professional career in 1970 after he became an assi...

FINAL REFLECTION

            REFLECTING ON THE MODULE All too soon the Art Portfolio module and my time at DMUIC has come to an end. This reflection post will be based on Art Portfolio One and Two as well as what I have learnt and improved on as an outgoing DMUIC student  Art Portfolio two started about 10 weeks ago. I was quite excited for the second segment of the Art Portfolio subject so I checked the brief even before school started. I went through my brief and was a bit startled and scared. But I told myself I will take on this challenge head on because I did not want to end my final term on a bad note.  In my Art Portfolio 2 brief I was tasked to design a social housing unit for the residents of New Cromwell because the town was burnt down due to a terrible fire. Right away I knew that I wanted my main Architectural style to be Ultra modern infused with greenery. According to my brief I was supposed to engage in idea generation which I believe was the most d...
