PART C: COMMUNICATION REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

WEEK 1

1.Should architecture communicate a story? Why or why not?

In my opinion Architecture should communicate a story as they can be built to be more than functional structure, they can also be pieces of artwork that represent the cultures and values of the people who use them. A building can tell many stories or can bring you back to a time from the past. Buildings that can tell a story can create a sense of place and identity and can help people deeply connect to the space both physically and mentally.

2. How do you think AI will change the role of architects?

I Believe that AI will impact the Architectural industry in many ways. A significant change will be the Automation of tasks which are repetitive and time consuming. The AI will allow Architects and designers to complete taks faster and will create many shortcuts in their work.

3. How do you think AI will change your architectural design process?

I think that AI will change the process of Architecture making it faster and more efficient, saving time and costs. An example of this could be the testing of certain designs, it would help designers explore better solutions in a short amount of time. AI would also be used for testing the performance of a design which would help Architects determine the right design for a certain location.

WEEK 2

1. How does a 2D line drawing suggest an image of 3D object?

2D linework can be used to represent an image of 3D object by using certain techniques like shading and using angles. A drawing like a perspective drawing can create the illusion of a deep space and shading can create shadows, lighting and volume. Using all these techniques combined can create a 3D-like object through careful sketching.

2. How does an image, or images, of a 3D object suggest movement over time?

By using a series of images of a moving object and adding special effects like blurring and lighting edits and putting the images together, you can create an image that looks like a moving object.

3.How does video recording/photography provide designers an opportunity to draw insights from the object/subject being photographed?

Using video recordings and photography can be a fantastic way of documenting subjects/objects being studied. Designers can use the documentation to analyze the subject in depth and make the right design solutions.
