In the case of our Gothic geometry, we will work with copies, rotations and scalar shifts for this transformation assignment.
We will work with scalar shifts, and ideas of density for this transformation assignment.

Exercise 2A
Column Logic This method of working is characterized by geometries with continuous curvature that flows between fixed locations in space but cannot be reduced to a discrete set of fixed coordinates. Instead, points acts as weights, tugging on smooth curves and surfaces to produce form that operates in three dimensions.
Exercise 2A
3D Column The first regime we’ll call “Euclidean” - it uses familiar, nameable geometries like straight lines, circles and ellipses as the basis for building volumes. A hallmark of working in this way is that form can be described by

Lofted Planametric Profile
Exercise 2B will focus on systematic, iterative transformations of the elements of the column object modeled in Exercise 2A. Here, we will care about variation, versus variety. Our goal will be to manipulate specific variables of the underlying logic of the object’s geometry - namely profile curves in plan and section - in order to produce versions and mutations that become something new and different but is still guided by the same geometric DNA.

Exercise 2C explores the process of producing analytical and systematic 2-dimensional drawings / diagrams that describe some of the 3D objects you modeled in Exercise 2B, and their inherent geometric logic. Through orthographic (plan + elevation) and axonometric projection, students will represent the geometric logic and construction process of one object from each of the three families you modeled in Exercise 2B

Conturing With Surfaces
This assignment builds upon your developing analytical drawing skills. The goal of these drawings types is to unpack various inherent logics or systems of an architectural object and clearly communicate them. Each drawing type tells a different story about the object, and may be used for a different purpose.

Exercise 3 Methods of 3D Fabrication
Though there are nearly endless ways to physically model your designs - and students are encouraged to be creative in future modeling endeavors - for this assignment, we will operate a bit more strategically. Students will learn three different modeling types that lend themselves to the three objects developed in Exercise 2C, as paired below. Each of these model types will be developed digitally, to the point of laser cut files. For the physical component, each student will select only ONE object to build.

Roof FICTIONS
Roof FICTIONS: Flowed Along Surface
Roof FICTIONS: Cage Edited
In exercise 4, the diverse elements of our exploration will be architectural roof typologies that we will re-form and deform (and eventually unpack). For exercise 4A, we will begin by modeling common architectural roof types and then explore combinations and variations of roof typologies to create a field that we will break down into components in the next two exercises.
Exercise 4B Matrix as Surface (extracted)
Matrix as Surface (projected)
Though each of these elements has structural responsibilities, they also develop an engaging visual density (just think how many people are drawn to exposed beams in houses...). This exercise aims to leverage the logic of the roof framing to produce a visually compelling spatial matrix. Exercise 4B frees the linear elements from their structural requirements and instead prioritizes the visual effects of illusion, overlap, density, interference.

Exercise 4C explores methods of articulating the smooth surfaces of your fictional roof fields through advanced 3D modeling in Rhino. We will begin by articulating in 3D the underlying divisions that might actually make-up the roof field system (this could be new, or come from the spatial matrix logic from exercise 4B). We will then move on to manipulate those individual panels to create a new and innovative way that the micro-articulation can affect the way the roof surfaces create a space and even, an atmosphere.

Realistic Render
Absract Render
Exercise 4D will focus on the production of a rendered image of your 3D field. Renderings, just like drawings, can take on many graphic modes or styles. They can be abstract, focusing only on light, color, or pattern, or can be developed into a much more complex scene with people, colors, textures, and weather. They can be designed to read as flat, or they can be deeply three-dimensional. Of course, each type of image is used to communicate different qualities of the project - in your career as an architect you may choose different rendering styles to reinforce the conceptual agenda of a specific project.
