PROJECT 1 (INDIVIDUAL)
DESIGN ELEMENTS
The goal of Project 1 is to introduce and categorize the fundamental elements of form in the order in which it develops from a point to a one-dimensional line, to a two-dimensional plane, and to a three-dimensional volume. In the language of architectural design, each element is first considered as a conceptual element and then as a visual element.

PART 1
POINTS & LINES
2-DIMENSIONAL : DRAWINGS/SKETCHES
-
Choose six (6) distinct interior-space photographs from a building that caught your eyes (only in portrait orientation), and then compile them in the template which is provided.
-
Use dots to find every point on all six photos.
-
To build 6 patterns on all surfaces, connect the points to form lines.
-
The patterns can be officially analyzed by adding descriptions.
I chose 6 interior-space photographs and I have gathered it together. I created lines by connecting all the dots together and making 6 different patterns from the different photographs and added the descriptions such as location, name of Architect and other descriptions.
PART 2
PLANES, VOIDS AND VOLUMES
3-DIMENSIONAL : MODELS
-
Choose two (2) patterns from Part 1 and create a three-dimensional (3D) model with them. A5-sized image should be printed and placed on a base (foam board, polystyrene board, etc.).
-
Utilizing shapes and forms with a maximum height of 15 cm and locate the planes and void to create volume and space.
-
Use only geometrical shape and form (regular & irregular).
-
Before creating one (1) final model, students should create a minimum of two (2) working models or mock-up models in any sizes and scales (on A5 base & not exceeding 15cm height)
MATERIALITY
Make use of the materials from given list for model making – satay/bamboo sticks, balsa wood, grey model board, white modeling board, brown modeling board, black cardboard, foam board, coloured paper, textured/patterned paper, polystyrene board, white sponge, white foam.
I created 2 mock-up models with different concepts which are Land and Sea and using the concept as my structures.
My lecturer commented that I should add more planes and volumes since I have lots of lines in the models
I related both of the concepts together and created a new concept for final model which is Amphibian. With different types of materials, I tried to relate and putted descriptions of each materials and using colors to describe my concept accurately.
Lecturer suggested that I should add little bit of planes and volumes and she said that my color choices is fine so I proceeded to go with that colors.
FINAL OUTCOMES
REFLECTION
From this assignment, I have successfully solved my model problems which I had to add more planes and volumes to my mock-up models. It was hard to fix my mock-up models since I had to focus on each little details but my lecturer helped me by giving ideas on how to improve my mock-up and final models.
Looking at others' progress, I tried to improve my works since my lecturer told us to listen to everyone's comments so that we can make an improvement on our models. I feel so grateful that the improvements that I did for my model was fine since I did not have that much time to fix my mock-up models since I had o proceed with my final model.
From the lectures given, I have successfully applied the theories in practical. I understood the deep meanings of plane, volume and void so that I could fully applied it to my models accurately. I watched back the recordings to understand every lectures given by my lecturer. My lecturer also gave me the ideas on how to properly doing the models.
