DEVELOPING IDEAS

                              DEVELOPING MY IDEAS THROUGH ART 


In the first session of Art Portfolio this week we began developing the ideas we have regarded our respective projects. As my idea is a Social housing Unit, I made two separate developing ideas regarding the Social Unit. 



                                            AUTOMOBILE IN CORSA- GIACOMO BALLA



The first quick sketch was inspired by the Velocity of An Automobile artwork by Giacomo Balla in the year 1913 which can be seen above.  I implemented the levelled lines which look stacked into my drawing. Since it is a housing project, I made four blocks of apartments using a liner ink pen. This was a very basic sketch I made to figure out the kind of design I would want to use in my project. This was quite basic so I moved on to another idea.






For my second experimental idea, I wanted to use watercolour to paint the building. I tried to create a curved structure with green plants spread across the terraces and balcony of the building. I mixed white and black paint to create grey paint and used it as the base of the building. Afterwards, to make the open-top roof interesting, I made a pool on top of the building. There's also a suite on top of the building which would be the most expensive apartment in the building. It has an array of Architectural plants and it slopes downwards.  To darken the colour of the building I created several washes to make it more toned. 






I wasn't quite satisfied with what I created so I ended up moving to the next stage which is creating studies of the images I have drawn. I will build upon that in my next post so stay tuned as I unravel the content of my project.

                                                                INTRODUCTION         Hi, welcome to Mani's Cosmos. My name is Manuela Boaduwa Xose Mantey .I am an Art and Design student at De Montfort International College and I will further my studies with a bachelor's degree in Architecture.  I have a keen interest in art and the design about buildings, artworks portraits amongst others. This blog will be based on topics related to the architecture field as well as how I will maneuver my way around the use of a variety of digital software                                                              Any Architect can draw and design a building and with the help of Engineers, these buildings can become a reality. However, to produce sophisticated structures, not every Architect is capable of this.   However, there are a few Architects who have made a mark in the Architecture world by producing abstract and astonishing building designs. Some of these Architects are Frank Lloyd W

INITIAL RESEARCH: ATELIERS JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE

                                 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 assistant to Claude Parent and was inspired by urban planner and essayist Paul Virilio. He then became one o
