ARCH171:DesignFundamentalsIFall2022 Project1|Drafting

Intent:

Introduce the visualization of spatial and compositional relationships through the study of an artifact. Question it’s form in relationship to function, process, and material.

Deliverables:

- Photographs documenting movement of industrial object

- Hand drafted sequence examining function

- Drafted plan and section views

- Detailed examination of parts

Skills:

Life drawing, Hand drafting, Iteration, Manual and digital craft, orthographic projection

Prompt: Choose an industrial object that suggests manual movement. Document the interaction of its parts through a sequence of movement. Using a 1 to 1 scale, draft drawings that closely examine the elements with various line weights and shading.

Intent:

Didactic development of orthographic projection drawings into imaginative 3D constructs. Introducing abstract assemblies and tectonics as a path for formal and spatial development.

Deliverables:

- a detailed digital model based on an assigned patent drawing

- an exploded axonometric drawing of various components

- section drawings

- a photomontage of scaled up assemblage inserted within a liminal space in the A + A building.

Prompt: digital model based on an assigned patent drawing exploded axonometric drawing section drawings

Choose a patent drawing in which you will reconstruct and form into a machine of your imaginations. Use different tools in rino as well as open and closed curves to generate 3D forms.
