Planes & Axis
Project Medium: Rhino Model Professor Luis Aguirre Arch 2552 - Spring 2021
The purpose for this project was to construct 3 different 10x10 cubes with varying horizontal & vertical planes. The objective was for us to gain an understanding of scale and function in compact space.
01
5 Spaces From 8 Planes The purpose for this project was to be able to understand the use of planes and the variety of spaces that can be created by them.

01 Golden Mean Bas Relief The purpose of this assignment was to further study the Golden Ratio along with, gaining an understanding of the double volume and the hierarchy created from its use.
02 Golden Ratio Color Plate This assignnment was a follow-up to the Bas Relief. Its purpose was for us to be able to symbolize the hierarchy with the use of different tones of color.
03 Golden Sequence Model
02 03
The concept for this project was for us to create a model diplaying a project from finish to start. Each layer displays a different level of hiearchy in the squares.

Domino Pavillion Model The purpose of this assignment was to further study the Golden Ratio along with, gaining an understanding of the double volume and the hiearchy created from its use.

04
Nine Square Tangram The purpose of this assignment was to understand the use of planes & impled space. The solid parts of each plane imply the enclosed space while the cut part implies open space. The final work results in the last photo which shows the symmetry of each space

Bianchetti House - Luis Snozzi Entry Sequence This project was the first case study assigned. In this project we studied the entry sequence of our assigned case study. Depicted here is a model created from Museum Board along with a hand drawn Isometric perspective.

Bianchetti House - Luis Snozzi Plan & Section The purpose of this assignment was to understand how a plan, section, & elevation are properly done. Depicted is a plan of the entire entry sequence along with an elevation and a section.

Figured Ground
The purpose of this assignment was to understand figured ground theory. We learned the concept of the visual system which depicts the main object (the figure) and everything else that forms around it (ground).
02 03
Color Theory Plate
This assignment taught that use of primary and secondary colors. This plate depicts how they can work and apply to one another.
03 Color Theory Application This purpose for this assignment was to teach us how mixing and applying colors can create different textures.

Guest House Library Final The purpose for this project was for us to combine all of the assignments we had done throughtout the semester such as the Golden Ratio and our knowledge on how planes create space to create a Guest House Library model with a studiolo (a room within a room).

Guest House Library Final Displayed here is an isometric drawing from the previously described project along with an isometric view of the hand built model.

Guest House Library Final Displayed here is a plan of both the first and second floor of the model along with some hand drawn sections. The sections are taken in the central part of the model on facing the North direction and the other facing the west both displaying clear view of the library.

Connecting Spaces The purpose of this project was a follow-up to the previous assignment. We rotated the planes 90 degrees and combined them in various methods. This taught us the concept of interlocking spaces.

Connecting Spaces
The purpose of this project was for us to create 2 stacks of 3 cubes all designed differently and arranged variously. Displayed are two axonometric drawings each drawn opposingly along with, one plan view. This assignment taught us the figured ground theory along with, planes & spaces.

Lego Building Model The purpose of this project was to teach us the basics when it comes to architectural drafting. We created a lego model and drew an elevation along with a regular isometric perspective and exploded isometric drawing.
