MAKING AND MEANING SUMMER 2016 SCI ARC

JUAN JOSÉ SÁNCHEZ-AEDO ARRIETA - JULY 11th- AUGUST 5th

Making+Meaning is a four-week summer program for the creative individual, inspired professionals, current college students and college graduates, as well as those newly admitted to SCI-Arc’s M.Arch 1 program.

Making+Meaning introduces students to architectural experimentation and transformative design techniques in a unique and lively studio setting.

WEEK 1

GRID SCI ARC, MAKING + MEANING REVIEWD BY ALEXIS ROCHAS

“This first series of exercises introduces you to key conventions and skills of architectural design and representation, while posing a series of contemporary disciplinary problems regarding the relationship between ideas and tools and form and representation. It asks you to consider the grid as an organizational and aesthetic structure, in two- and three-dimensions, against which folds, deviations and figures can be read. It also asks you to consider the relationships between the infinite thinness of vector lines and the unavoidable thicknesses of materials and between physical objects and their shadows and projections. Through these exercises, you should explore the potential for distortion and invention that comes from translations between digital and physical mediums Lectures discuss the history and role of descriptive geometry, orthographic projections and regulating grids in architecture, and introduce recent projects that demonstrate the contemporary state of these topics and provide a context for these exercises.

Tutorials introduce fundamental techniques of line drawing and wireframe modeling in Rhino, line weight and line type in Adobe Illustrator, digital scanning, photography and photo-editing in Adobe Photoshop, printing, physical modeling using sticks and sheet materials and laser-cutting.� Text from making and meaning website, www.makingandmeaning2016.com GRID - WEEK 1

PLEATS SCI ARC, MAKING + MEANING REVIEWD BY MATTHEW AU

“In the second week of exercises, students will consider the interior corner ‘site’ of their preceding assignments as an object to examine a series of design procedures relating to surface, texture, shade, and background.

Lectures will discuss the role of rendering tone, texture, pattern, lighting, and environment in the construction of images. Historic and recent examples from architecture, art, and commercial photography will sample a range of issues and techniques.

Tutorials will expand on the digital modelling techniques introduced in the first week with particular emphasis on orienting and extruding profile curvature, trimming and intersecting surface geometry, and preparing digital models for CNC fabrication. Additional lighting, photography, and photo-editing techniques will be used.” Text from making and meaning website, www.makingandmeaning2016.com

Volume / Color / Interiority SCI ARC, MAKING + MEANING REVIEWD BY Emmett Zeifman

“The third topic of the course introduces students to relationships of volume and color. Techniques derived from painting and printing will be the basis for understanding how color can be both dependent and independent of volumetric form, and how color alters our perception of it.

Lectures discuss a brief history of color from the standpoint of science and the arts, and establish fundamental terms for describing the characteristics of color. An historical discussion of painterly techniques describes how color and form interact on the two dimensional canvas, from the Renaissance to the work of Josef Albers. Digital applications of color in modern-day printing will be introduced. The lecture will conclude with a discussion of the relationship of three-dimensional form and color, including examples of more contemporary investigations.

Skills will continue to work with digital modeling in Rhino, color applications in Adobe Photoshop, hand-built paper models, 3D printing and model photography.� Text from making and meaning website, www.makingandmeaning2016.com
