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.
