ARCH1142 - MONTAGE IT!

POSTER

The montage it! workshop taught the importance of photo-montage as a communication device. The project developed my photoshop skills, my drawing and model making skills, and photography skills, combining all the skills learned in the previous workshops. I took an abstract approach to the project, deciding to convey a concept in architecture - protrusion -  the concept explored in my bathhouse project. I tried to convey this idea in different contexts. This can be read as a poetic approach, one that sparks further design of a topic.

ARCH1142 - DRAW IT!

POSTER

The draw it! project further projected the importance of communication in architecture. With this project I decided to take an artistic approach to the brief, exploring materials and techniques such as collage, painting, drawing, ink, and patterning. I chose to convey the building in this way as I though it would further convey the ideas the architect Glenn Murcutt intended. For example, in his Magney house, circulation is free, adventurous, and one feels unsure where to go when entering the property. This idea is interpreted through the use of faded colouring and the feeling of lightness the building has in the landscape.

SKETCH MODELS

BARCELONA PAVILION 

The model it! project taught me the importance of conveying a design or concept through the use easy interpretative techniques, including the use of the model. When designing, the client usually does not understand architectural drawings, and therefore, models show them a design in three dimensions and help to sell the project. This project also taught me the importance of the sketch model. When coming up with design ideas, this can be a handy way to brainstorm and develop concepts, such as the section. The project taught me many model making techniques that I will adopt in my architecture course to help communicate my design ideas.
