PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Since the beginning of my teaching career in Korea, I have always wished that I had a book such as this one. This wish may have originated from my 6th grade teacher, who made a graduation workbook containing students’ writings, drawings, and photographs. After my graduation and before my undergraduate years, I was able to see my growth in ways of thinking and understanding as a result of reading the book. With my colleagues, I made a school book including all the graduate projects completed at Hanyang University in 2006. By reading the book, I had been able to cheer up and reenergize myself whenever I was exhausted and burnt out in practice. With these memories, it has been four years since I made the course books for the subjects I taught.

In my opinion, the curriculum in the first two years is typically more focused on visualizing ideas by converting them into visualized outputs that can be shared with others. In the second half, the focus is more on materialization aligned with the realities, such as building codes, social issues, etc. It is my hope that you will be able to improve your ability to visualize and sense scale before the second half.

During the process of creating this book, I learned something that I had never known before. I am gradually improving my skills as an instructor, learning what I have missed as an instructor, what I should remember when teaching next semester, which assignments to emphasize more, and what to emphasize less. Seeing the efforts and thoughts of the students that I had not yet discovered, I smiled at them and regretted that I had not been able to encourage them more.

I congratulate them on their successful completion.

As a final note, I would like to thank you for all the time I spent with you. Despite the fact that this design studio with you has ended, please feel free to contact me at any time. I will be glad to respond to your contact. It has been a pleasure having you with me this semester.

Jinoh Park, Instructor and Publisher

After receiving this book, each recipient may have a different reaction to it. In the past four years, it has been observed that it serves as a tangible teaching portfolio for instructors, a data bank for students in the event of unexpected laptop failures, and an educational experience that motivates students to create their own portfolios. What will be your reaction when you receive this book? In the future, when you are about to graduate, what will you think after reading this book? In keeping with this thought, I completed the process of making the book.

Students’ Essay: AI Exploration I had a few opinions about artificial intelligence well using it. My experience was good, but it was hard to generate exactly what I was looking for. After messing with the settings, I found that once I got themes right it was easy to generate more photos that were closer to what I wanted. I think artificial intelligence will have a positive in packed on the future. AI would help the design process by making drawings or models into real buildings or spaces that you can image yourself in. It would also help with color composition by testing colors and seeing what the colors would look like on walls, columns, and floors.

The AI workshop, while well-intentioned, was overall an extremely tiresome and trying experiment. While the idea is a lovely thought, and the results I submitted were sufficiently adequate and fit within the standards of what was expected, the effort and time taken to get the results were not worth it. AI, as it currently stands, is in its infancy. And while this will almost certainly not be the case forever, it cannot currently complete this objective without significant human input. While in the future I am certain this will change, currently, there is no need to use AI in this way as it renders nonsense images when asked to create or revise using the prompts and photos it was given. Additionally, the use of a point system was extremely difficult to work through, as I had not figured out how to receive the results I needed from the program before my trial ran out. Thankfully, I have many spam emails I was able to use to create four accounts before the results began to appear as I needed them to. While I do not believe that all programs are of the same caliber as this free program, I do not believe that images and uses such as the way I have used them will be integrated into the professional sphere until large revisions to accessibility and function are addressed. That being said, the extremely suggestive and silly images I received from my initial prompts are utterly hilarious and will be kept for the future. Having to spend hours asking the program to stop giving you pictures of Michael Sheen in the shape of a triangle and do close to what was asked of it is not in any way going to enter the normal sphere of corporate life. I thought that using this AI Workshop was really interesting. Initially it was kind of scary at how accurate it was at rendering the images and actually converting it into a somewhat realistic image, but after using it a few times it became less daunting and more exciting. It was really frustrating trying to figure out how to use this program, especially since it isn’t widely used so there aren’t a bunch of instructions or tutorials on how to use it, but once you get started you begin to get the hang of it quickly. I did have a few instances where I would submit an image that was a colorful marbled space that would turn out to just be brown instead of a vibrant red or blue, but I think it could have just been my terrible setting in which I took my pictures. I still think most of these images turned out quite nicely with the exception of the first few when I was still messing around with the settings. I think in the future as AI improves, this could prove to be a highly useful tool to create a representative image of a space quicker than a human can. However, I do think we shouldn’t

8

rely solely on AI for creating these kinds of images, because I believe that an AI could never have the creativity that a human has, like when it comes to creating new furniture designs or innovative spatial layouts. With AI growing so quickly that these images literally would not have been possible just short of a year ago, I tend to lean more on the human experience side of the AI argument. I think AI can make our lives as designers easier, but humans are so unique and innovative that I think an overuse of AI could really harm the design field with regurgitated ideas. There’s a quote floating around the internet right now that says, “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes,” and I could not agree more. I think AI is a very powerful tool in our day and age, but I think that an overuse would take away the experience of being a designer and using software’s that take more time but essentially do the same thing, like Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. All in all, I still think AI is a very convenient technology for projects when it comes to putting abstraction in a more realistic setting, but I think it should not be overused because then we lose that experience of being designers and architects. Throughout my exploration of converting my drawings, images, and models into AI generated images, I discovered many aspects of the process that I hadn’t anticipated along with many challenges. Using AI to generate images is a new concept to me as I have previously only used AI for text. I learned many things about the process through trial and error with my own images. Something that stood out to me is how complex AI can make images. Often times, it turned the reference into something completely different without much guidance from the prompt. This really demonstrates the true root of AI is and displaying it through images was very eye opening. Something else that stood out to me was the variety of outputs I got compared to the variety of inputs I provided. In the beginning, my prompts were detailed and specific, but my images were not coming out great. The more I explored the different options and refined how I wrote my prompts, gradually getting more concise, I received images that made a lot more sense, even though sometimes it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. AI, though can be a great tool, comes with many obstacles. As it is still relatively new, I believe that there are many bugs within these systems that are yet to be worked out. The biggest issue I ran into throughout the exploration was the systems not working. This did give me an opportunity to explore other programs and do some problem solving, but at the end of the day, it can be very difficult at times to get your devices to do what you want them to do. The program, Fabrie, had a lot of issues with crashing and, as I assume it is a relatively new system, there is little to no information online about troubleshooting this site. When I was able to run the program and produce photos, there were a lot of issues with them as well. Many times I would create an input based on the issues present in the last output in an effort to get closer to what I wanted, but, as it seems, the more you input, the more it confuses the AI. Aside from the (continued...)


AI failing to take the directions of the reference photos and prompts, AI can often have issues with creating images that actually make sense. This can be present in the form of a human, often with their hands, and as I observed, there were a lot of issues in creating complex spaces. The more stairs, columns, platforms, etc, the more it all gets tangled up within the image and loses a great amount of accuracy. Though I faced many challenges and ended up spending a significant amount of time wrestling back and forth with the program, I do believe that I learned a lot about AI through my experience and was able to produce some images that I found to be interesting and sophisticated. Throughout the entire process of converting the images of my previous projects into fully rendered images through the use of AI I noticed many things. For one, I noticed that many of my projects had loose lines or areas where the foreground blended into the background. Many of these creating an interesting and more abstract effect that I feel helps portray the sense of mystic wonder that I want from my space cube. I also noticed that the Ai often had some difficulty recognizing certain elements of my projects, such as windows, pillars, and some walls. It would also often make assumptions of the textures based on color. Which lead to many interesting and unique environments and spaces. I often found myself struggling a bit when it came to getting exactly what I want. I had to learn to just accept the best-looking option as getting the exact outcome that I wanted simply wasn’t possible. I also learned that changing the percentage of each theme had a significant impact on how the rendering came out. For example, when rendering a part of my space cube that looked more like an exterior piece than an interior space changing how much the ai was affected by interior or exterior architecture significantly changed how the render looked. In the future I plan to use this technology more often in order to better get an idea of what my final model can look like without creating an entire new model to make a slight change. I can also use it to better understand how the walls and objects interact with each other in a more detailed way. This project required me to learn how navigate working with Ai to bring my models and pictures to life. Playing with different interior design models to create visually entertaining outcomes. I wanted each project to have a different visual aspect to focus on, so for my 12-picture sequence I used the “Pop Art” style the platform used my original picture and my writing to articulate an abstract version of my pictures. Each picture was visually stimulating with bright colors and unique lighting. Fabrie seemed to pick and choose which parts of my writing it wanted to use to illustrate the picture. In some instances, it was a very literal depiction of my words and picture. Other pictures used more of an abstract approach; provoking emotions rather than a a distinct outline of the picture. For my dancing lines pattern, I played with a couple of different styles. I used the “Modern Architecture” style that create a simple clean image using my abstract lines. I also used the “Indoor Lighting” style that created a moody, dark image, and it created a lot of depth to my 2D pattern. My

window drawing, I wanted to try a bunch of different styles to see what all products would be produced. I first ran the Ai without any styles selected to see what the natural depiction would be perceived as. I did this method twice receiving two different outcomes. One being a nature scene that was acuate to my drawing. However, the second one portrayed my drawing at a skyline view with clouds where the grass would be. I then started incorporating styles to produce more visually interesting outcomes. I used the “Midjourney” which created a snowy scene with mountains in the back. The “Game Design” incorporated sunset colors all through the landscape and it looked very abstract. The last style I used was the “Modern Interior” I wanted to see how a style intended for an indoor space would react to an outdoor space and it created a mystical window view; more forest like than an open field. My pop-up pictures were the most difficult to portray. It had a lot of trial and error before landing on the “Morphy Richards Electronics” style it took the shaving cream marbling and made it look more like a slab of real marble. The interior space of my pop-up was different in each picture and the Ai played a lot with the depth of my pop-ups. Lastly, I used the “Marker Drawing” for my colored casting model I only chose one style for my casting model. I was instantly happy with the results of the Ai style I chose. It illustrated the colors and shape of my model very accurately unlike other styles did. Overall, working with Ai had a few bumps in the road. Learning new platforms is always hard, but I am happy with the results I received through working with Fabrie. In this activity, we explored AI generated images and how they correspond to our original images. While working through this activity, it was interesting to see how the AI took our image and our descriptions and whorled them into its own idea. My personal experience with this was frustrating at first to get the image that I wanted to see generated. However, whenever I finally got the hang of the descriptions and inputs, there were amazing products that I could’ve never dreamt of in my head. Looking into the future, I believe that AI can help me as a designer to understand differing viewpoints or ideas that my imagination might not be able to reach. My experience with AI technology is a combination of both love and hate. I am not the biggest technology person meaning that new technologies do not come very easy to me. This form of technology was completely new when we began and I had absolutely no idea what this was capable of. Learning the different maneuvers and technological expectations was a learning curve for many reasons. I could not figure out how to make my photos generate because they were not saved in the correct files. This part of the assignment took majority of my day because having to go through and resave all my original files took a lot of time. When I originally opened the AI app, I did not understand what I was looking at. I had to mess around and try different things for an extended period of time to get my bearings in the site. I was able to load my pictures in. It took more time to understand that I needed to thoroughly describe every image. I was feeding to the AI technology. That being said the original paragraphs I had for

9


my photos did not help with the prompt. I was supposed to enter into the AI. Something that I did truly love about the AI is that it can dream up absolutely anything. What I found is that most of my pictures were not, accurate representations of my space but they portrayed a more extravagant and slightly different version of my original vision. This form of AI is extremely useful. The only thing I worry about with AI is can it do these jobs better than us in the future. At this moment, I don’t believe AI is very dependable because it takes an extreme amount of time to curate the outcome you want. If AI becomes more dependable throughout the years, is it possible for AI to do our jobs for us? I hope not. I liked getting to see the outcomes. The AI came out with, but I did not enjoy learning this new program. All of this being said I think there are both pros and cons to AI technology but with the technological advancements what I question is if it will be more cons than pros at some point in time. Images I did with AI for this project I think is my favorite project of all. Creating images that truly encompass my work as well as enhancing them into realistic and unique images has really brought the entire semester together. Creating the cut-out images was the most shocking of the AI generated creations because it created a functional space with entirely marbled walls whereas before it was just a sheet of paper. Creating my window drawing was also shocking with just using what I’ve seen from my window and sketching it out and then it being generated into a real-life image was shocking. I struggled with creating the space cube 12 pictures, however, I ended up with very hyper realistic images of real people moving throughout my space. The line drawing was one of my favorites as well with just a simple pencil line drawing of shapes I created ended up being a very modern and contrasted image. My work with Ai has exemplified what I can create with what work I have done and what opportunities this can lead to in my future work. In the current work that I’ve done I have been able to create real life images even with just sketches and pictures of foam models. In the future I can imagine how extensive I can create things. Creating realistic images to show clients and realistic images that exemplify what versions I have for different spaces and creations. For this project, we were tasked with using AI to bring our drawings and paintings to life. This turned out way cooler than previously expected. Watching my flat drawings take form through the use of AI was exciting. I have been aware of this technology for a long time but using it for my own work is thrilling. I look forward to being able to see my drawings benefit from these technological advancements. I really had a good time with this Ai workshop. In the beginning I was messing up a lot, but once I figured out how to download a file as a .jpeg I was ready to go. I messed around with the style types a lot and descriptions in order to get Ai pictures that I was pleased with. Some were harder than others but after figuring out what words to describe the pictures it was pretty easy. I started with working on the space cube 12 phase photos. I went through each one and I decided I wanted to make each a different space. I didn’t want them all to be in a building that looks the same because I thought it would be more interesting to see all what com-

10

puters do and to play around with the colors. Next I worked on all the folding models. I wanted these to either look like the exterior or interior of a building and I think they turned out pretty cool. Then I worked on the window view. I thought of Jurassic Park when looking out my window for some reason so that is what I based it off of. Next was the plaster model t. I really wanted to do something different with this one so I thought of a couch when looking at the shapes throughout my model. And lastly I focused on my abstract pattern. This is probably the one I struggled with the most. I first wanted to create it into a playground but that didn’t work. The finished product for the pattern isn’t my favorite but it was the only one I could generate eo not to be fuzzy and unreadable. My overall experience with this Ai workshop was good. I enjoyed playing around with the different styles and really liked making up my own “story” of my pictures with ai. For the next time I work with Ai I want to remember doing this project. I learned Ai is not used to slang words. In order to be successful with Ai, we need to use full sentences and formal vocabulary. A.I. is quickly becoming the most important innovation of the decade, perhaps even the century, and whether some people like it or not, its here and will only become more omnipresent from here on out. In design work, A.I.’s purpose is not yet clear, but from my experience today, I have deduced that it is extremely effective at quickly projecting sketch material into a proper visualization of the given concept, though it certainly has its limitations. For starters, I essentially spent the entire afternoon flailing around trying to find a software that worked for me, as the one we were assigned to use would not generate anything to me, so then it became a game of testing out different programs and assess which one was most responsive to my commands, and eventually I settled on using Adobe Firefly. The formatting was very simple and it gave me many different stylistic, orientation, and perspective options to choose from, and it was very enjoyable mixing and matching the different ones to see what they would do. A few times I generated some very wacky images, but for the most part no matter which styles I added, Firefly gave me what I was looking for. There were a couple scenes in my space cube model which were quite difficult to give a correct input for, since the images often had other elements which I did not want to show, so I had to get creative in the way I worded things. Before I properly realized how commands worked, I kept “shouting” at the A.I. in hopes that it would bring certain pieces out, but as I found out, caps locking whole sentences does nothing to the output. Of course, the more I generated, the clearer the process became and I found myself going for bolder expressions, especially with the sequence model which, oddly enough, ended up reminding me of Moroccan villages . Another thing I realized is that its very easy to get the A.I. to create something truly terrifying, as it kept happening if I pasted the paragraphs directly without shaping them, so I did get a lot of cryptid or just outright disturbing images (looking at the paragraph about the forgotten child). Overall though, experimenting with the mechanics of generative A.I. has been very enjoyable for me, and I can not wait to make excuses to implement it into my design work.


I had an extremely fascinating experience with AI technology. The AI rendering made the works I made come into more of a reality. It made them become more realistic, and more powerful. Some of the stuff that I made I wanted them to feel vibrant and joyful. However, I can only get so close to the feeling I wanted it to portray. With the AI rendering tool, it went beyond my expectations on how it adds to express the feeling even more. I used to have to explain the reasoning for someone to understand the feeling. Now, with the AI rendering tool, anyone that looks at it is immediately able to see the feeling it is expressing. It keeps the same fundamental shape and design the same, but changes most of the smaller stuff and the background. For example, to one of my vibrant and joyful work, the AI rendering tool made it a very peaceful and quiet beach front house. The AI rendering tool can do the same thing but for the opposite emotion. Another one of my works portrayed a sense of sorrow and loneliness. The AI rendering tool made the walls concrete and embraced the dark shadow down the long path. It made it feel so industrial and brutal. The AI rendering tool makes my works humanly realistic; it allows for the viewer to connect with it much more than a tiny plastic figure. I am utterly amazed by the technology and how it is so readily available and simple to use. It worked beyond what I expected, I could have never imagined something like this to ever exist. This project involved using the app “Fabrie” to transform our previous semester projects into AI-generated realistic spaces. Fabrie offers a unique opportunity to bring your ideas to life by utilizing existing projects and incorporating prompts. However, I encountered some issues with the AI accurately interpreting my images and prompts to create the desired space. This problem was particularly evident when my models included figures for scale, resulting in distorted figures that disrupted the overall image. Despite these challenges, I believe that this platform, and AI in general, are excellent tools for designers to explore new possibilities and bring their ideas to life. I genuinely enjoyed exploring the capabilities of this program. Using AI technology to render images from architectural models has allowed me to create a more detailed and immersive viewing experience. AI makes it faster to generate detailed images and opens up creative opportunities by presenting ideas I hadn’t yet considered. This allowed me new ways to explore architectural visualization. The process involved uploading pictures of my models and providing detailed descriptions of what I wanted. The initial results were impressive but sometimes didn’t make sense, and required adjustments to the descriptions to produce more realistic and practical images. This was a back and forth process, as I was learning how to utilize the technology, but shows the potential of utilizing AI in architectural design. Looking to the future, I see AI technology as a tool for speeding up architectural processes and creating more immersive design visualizations for clients. AI can significantly cut down the time spent on generating high-quality visual content, allowing more time for creative exploration and refinement. Plus, being able to quickly visualize different design outcomes can lead to better decision-making and improved designs. I see myself using AI technology to create more detailed renderings and as a tool to visualize final outcomes better.

I enjoyed seeing how the click of a few buttons can completely transform an image. I feel like the majority of my images gerenerated through AI resembled my original pictures and paintings. I struggled, in the beginning, to get the picture to look similar to the pictures I took but once I got the hang of it, everything was smooth sailing after that. I think Fabrie will be useful software for future projects. I feel like most of my AI photographs look metallic and very unrealistic. They seem very futuristic and animated. That is far from my style, but I still enjoy comparing the photos to my originals. During this AI workshop, I thought it was fun to see my projects come into a real-life 3D (rendered) space. They looked more real and habitable, so I could get more of a visual look at what the space looked like. Describing what I wanted and what I saw was also enjoyable. Typing in “garden” or “marble house “and picking how I wanted the space to come to life was fun. Seeing the difference between the original photo and the rendered one, making sure it was how I liked and still had some similarities was a satisfying task to do. The only part I did not enjoy was running out of credits so easily. This AI workshop could help me in future inquirers because I learned you can still convey your idea through different effortless ways. It can help spark ideas or give a better visual representation of your craft model. Lastly being able to rearrange the rendered photo by changing the descriptive words is easy and was a helpful tool. Learning all of this can help convey your ideas better for future inquiries. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience using AI. This was a fun and very creative experience. At first I was very confused on how exactly Ai could work with my designs, and I thought that the software would make my design worthless and feel artificial. After playing around with it I soon realized how much control we as humans can have over Ai and the power it creates just with a few clicks. I could really see how useful this would be in the creative process when trying to visualize an idea or a project. I have no previous experience or knowledge of Ai I but I could figure out pretty fast that using Ai is very hot or miss without guidance. The easiest part was to create a scene with color and vibrancy but the figures and structures were at times very ambiguous and awkward. After inputting some direction to Ai the images came out much more clear and guided. After today’s assignments I’ve seen that using Ai is not just a tool for laziness but that help spark creativity. In today’s world if we as humans neglect Ai it will soon become more powerful than us so that’s why we must open our minds and learn to use it for our benefit. Being close minded about new technology will not stop the development of Ai but will only make things worse. My experience using AI technology was a learning curve but overall, quite simple. The first time I have ever used AI was for this assignment and I feel like it was quite easy to learn and fast paced. I wasn’t quite sure how everything worked at first but once I got the hang of it, it went smoothly. The most difficult part about using AI was trying to get the images to look like the original photo. Trying to find the right style to make the picture look realistic and keep the same idea as the original was also a more difficult part of this assignment. Working with this AI technology was a little stressful because

11


it was always reliable. The images wouldn’t always generate, or they would take at least ten minutes to start, which was irritating. Even though there were difficulties with this AI assignment and technology, the overall experience was exciting and fun to learn. AI technology has grown in the past few years tremendously and is now often used for many things. Learning how to use AI will be important since technology is always advancing and evolving. For the future use I would like to have more time to mess around with the styles and see what outcomes they give when generating to make knowing which style to use easier and a quicker process. The easiest part of using AI was generating the original picture into the AI version. What took the most time was trying to make it appealing and finding a way to save them. I still know very little about AI and would like to see other aspects to it and what else you could use it for and what else could be created. Enhancing my skills with AI would also help in the future for finding jobs and having up to date technology skills. All in all, keeping up with AI skills would be beneficial for the high technology workforce, everyday life, and just a good skill to know and use. After working with AI technology, I learned about the wide capabilities of AI’s platform. My experience with it was quite intriguing and I was excited to be doing this assignment. At first it took some used to, to get my drawings and photographs to correctly transfer to a rendering, but once I got a grasp on it, it was very interesting. I felt that my window drawing was the easiest to transform because of the distinct lines from the pen. It was very cool to see a basic sketch on paper turn into a realistic looking view. It was also the most accurate out of all my AI creations. However, some of my photos wouldn’t correctly transform with the AI and didn’t look much like the original. Typing in the text box to directly tell AI what to do only helped sometimes and eventually I just had to accept that some photos were hard to transform. In my opinion, I think the marbled cut outs look the least like the original cut out, but they were fun to make and see all the different varieties in patterns that could be made. I also enjoyed creating AI images of my space cube because I was able to imagine the scenes as real-life spaces with natural surroundings. After finishing this assignment, I realized that AI can be a helpful way to get a designer’s ideas across to a client or anyone. I think it is a very helpful way to express one’s vision for a space or building. AI in a way acts as a medium and helps when you don’t really have a complete vision for a space, but you have an idea for how you want it to look or what colors you want in a room. For example, I might know what furniture I want or certain colors, but AI can help me decide where to put specific things or how they would actually look in a room together. Overall, I think AI will play a large role in design in the next years to come, but I also think it’s still important to have human designers so that our spaces still have a sense of emotion and craft built into them. Without aspects of human design and creativity, I feel that our buildings and spaces will look drastically different when compared to areas created by living people. In my work with the AI, it showed me a new imagination with the work that I had designed. It gave my projects new ideas and new things to create within my design for future

12

projects. At first, I was a bit skeptical of using AI on my computer because I just don’t like the fact that a computer has ideas and is giving me them, but they actually weren’t bad, and I could see myself using AI for future ideas. In the first picture I gave AI I was messing around with the different designs AI suggested and at first, I didn’t really like how the designs were coming out. So, I had to find the right designs that fit the picture and the right designs that fit the emotion I was trying to go for in the model. So, as I was messing around with the designs, I came across many different designs that fit other pictures, but some did give the wrong emotion, but most gave the right emotion. As I was moving on to the second and third picture, I was getting the feel of using the AI and using the different designs that were in the AI format. You can see what I was going for and how the themes of all the pictures brought joy and looked like they’re by a pool or a body of water. I thought since it’s summertime I should try to do what people like to do best in the summer and that’s go swimming mostly. So, I changed the theme of the model for both floors for some of the pictures and others stayed the same as one picture did exactly like what I wanted my model to be and that was a wood floor with a marble brown skate ramp and gold columns and walls with a green floor. In that picture I wish the stairs could be seen a little better but it’s alright. I also wish the bottom floor was like the pool area and it would’ve been perfect. Another thing I like that AI did was for the casting models they made them look like a bench or a couch to lounge in while you look at the sky and stars next to the water or pool. That was cool. Another thing AI did was put a giant human figure in one of my pictures and put him in a body of water. I thought that was tacky but it’s alright. One last thing that AI did that was cool to me was with the pop-up cards and it made it come to life a little bit. They put the building in the mountains and made the building fit and put lots of lights around them. It was cool to me and made it seem like a vacation in the winter. Exploring my use with AI technology has been an eye-opening experience. Using drawings and images we have created from these last few weeks, not knowing where they might go was brought fuller potential today. Using the next level Ai technology known as Fabrie took our work to another level allowing us to explore many different styles of interior design without changing our original piece. Technology is transforming the interior design industry by providing innovative tools that enhance both the creative process and the functionality of spaces. By using AI, it can analyze large amounts of data which can show design trends, enabling designers to stay on trend. AI-powered software can also generate realistic 3D renderings based on individuals’ preferences and limitations within the space, allowing for more accurate visualization before the final product. AI can expand the layout and placement of furniture to improve 􀏐low and functionality with factors such as natural light. Getting a glimpse of what AI technology can do for my future career is exciting for what is to come. As an interior architecture and design major, I am positive my skills and experience in Ai technology will only grow from now. My approach to design has been expanded with the introduction of the Ai generation. This improved my ability to be able to see my photographs transformed into a realistic


image and my drawings come to life. This not only helped me be able to personally visual my creations but to also communicate my work to peers and professors. Learning about ai technology was interesting and eye opening. It was an easy and entertaining experience. Because of ai, there will be much more opportunities to be able to transform and convert my design into real life. I will utilize this in the future to allow myself to be more creative in design. I feel as if I can convert any sketch and photograph into real life. This will only benefit my future and help me while I become educated in design education. As I move forward into my education, I will be able to utilize this technology to be able to benefit myself in future projects and assignments. AI Fabrie is pushing the boundaries of what AI can do by collaborating with humans to create art, entertainment, and educational content. My experience with AI technology has been quite a journey, especially when trying to create accurate and realistic photos. At first, it wasn’t easy. I had to try many times to get it right. Each attempt taught me something new about how AI works and what it can do. I started by feeding the AI different types of images and asking it to generate photos that looked real. Sometimes, the results were off – colors were wrong, shapes were distorted, or details were missing. It felt like trial and error, where each try brought me closer to the realistic outcome I wanted. As I kept refining my approach and adjusting the input, I began to see improvements. The AI started producing images that looked more and more like actual photographs. It was fascinating to see how small changes in the settings or the data I provided could make such a big difference in the final result. After many attempts, I finally achieved success. The AI-generated photos began to resemble real scenes and objects in a way that was strikingly close to what I had envisioned. It was a moment of satisfaction and awe at how far AI had come in mimicking human perception and creativity. Overall, my journey with AI technology taught me persistence and the power of experimentation. It showed me that even complex tasks like creating realistic photos could be mastered through patient exploration and learning from each attempt. Doing the ai workshop was eye opening. The things that can be generated by AI are crazy cool. My experience with the AI workshop was both great and frustrating at the same time. It was great in the sense that I was able to bring to life my drawings and experiment with different design styles. It was frustrating because the website would crash and eat up my coins, or it would not generate what I asked it to do. I know it might be partly my fault that it did not generate exactly what I wanted it to due to faulty writing; however, technology is not perfect, and it cannot be expected to generate the exact image I envision in my brain. By using multiple emails, I was able to generate images that I liked and that portrayed what I wanted the AI machine to do. Most of my images are more abstract than realistic interior spaces. I am not sure why this happened, whether it was my description, the styles I chose, or the image itself. Besides the lack of realism, they also don’t precisely emote anger by themselves. Specifically for the marbled pop-up cards, because of the colors I chose, the AI generator transformed them into a rainbow. The images look great, but it will probably take some time for others to see my vision of “anger”.

Overall, I am happy with my final outcomes and would love to experiment with AI in the future. Whether that is in school or in professional work, I think that AI is a powerful tool that can change the way designers think about and execute a project. The possibilities are truly endless. My experience with AI technology was interesting. I had never used AI technology before and I was unsure what exactly to do. I was experimenting with different styles of interior we could do until I found one that I really thought made my images come to life. I mainly used the style of modern interior and the indoor lighting style. I was having a hard time getting the human figures in the exact spot I wanted them and that was a little frustrating, but after I went through and edited my paragraphs the processes became a lot smoother. I had a lot of fun playing around with all of the settings and I ended up with unique AI generations. I think AI technology will be very useful for me in the future. AI technology is another way to express and show your ideas, just like floor plans and models. The technology brings your idea to life and you express a lot of emotion and show exactly what you want to be conveyed by your client or professor. Coming into this project, I had seen some previous work done inspired by AI generation technologies. Essentially, they did the reverse of what we did and instead gave AI a prompt and made a design based on its creation. So, I really had no idea what to expect coming into today. Generally, I had a little difficulty navigating the software itself at the beginning of my AI creations, it was not as intuitive as I imagined AI would be. In fact, it was quite specific in some regards (such as rendering quality) and loose in others (such as material type). I also struggled to let loose and let AI drive the design decisions, more so than I thought I would. You could control the textures and colors only to a certain degree before just handing the design reins over to the machine. In that regard, however, it also made the entire process much more impactful overall because it made choices that I would have never dreamed of honestly and therefore expanded my design palette to dream of the impossible. Applying what I know now about design principles, elements, and intuition, this whole process was magnified in a way that I’ve never experienced before. Having spent the past month focusing on looking deeper into the “why” of art and design, I’ve found myself applying those techniques to every single thing I can. AI generation was no different. The knowledge allowed me to look past the surface elements and into what the scene was conveying and how the materials, colors, forms, lighting, etc. impacted the overall mood. From there, I could adjust accordingly and produce a vision of what the simple can evolve to through iteration. The easiest parts to use were on the technological side, the hardest was producing an image that you were looking for and/or imagining. Again, AI has a special skill set in the fact that it can open doors and extend what you were looking for into something totally new and unexpected. So, altering my mindset to fit that ideology was the most difficult, particularly after we had been micromanaging every single detail we could for the past month. Overall, this exercise expanded my preconceived limitations on what one single design could become. The options are truly endless in the land of design and I need to remember that more often.

While using AI to enhance my images, I recognized not only the way that AI was able to read my images as I did, but also how it also gave some of them a new meaning. Throughout my first attempt, I tried using different styles to convey the emotion of my space cube. This did not work because AI was giving me images and themes that were very different from one another. Due to this, I decided to restart and type “it is abandoned and evokes fear” before every space cube paragraph. This helped me to have a common theme between my images, and it gave me a theme that matched my emotions better than simply selecting styles. I had an easier time doing the window view, casting model, and dancing lines because they were more straightforward and they did not have to fit into a grouping. Whenever I put the pop-up cards into the AI generator, I had to clarify that they were buildings because some of my patterns drowned out the cutouts, making it difficult for AI to comprehend them as structures. Overall, I enjoyed this project because the outcomes were unpredictable and fascinating to see. This Ai Workshop was a lot of fun. It felt great seeing my work turn to reality in a sense. The main challenges I had were the unpredictability of AI, and an array of my pictures not processing. My window perspective drawing the renderings were very accurate applying green spaces in the right spots while also typically having the road where it is meant to be. Although not all of these renderings were accurately depicted, the overall concept was accurate, other than the fact that the photo was typically perceived from an elevated surface. The pictures that were able to be processed from my space would be the surface with two circle voids and a coy fish shaped void, the arch, the two people staring at each other, the three people sitting on stone ledges in the mountains, the two people looking away on the bridge and ledge, and lastly the wedding scene in Nappa Valley or the woman looking down the hallway. My personal favorite is the three people sitting on the ledges with the mountain in the background, and the little pool in the middle of them. This rendering very accurately describes what I was going for with this scene as it represents comradery while adding a nature aspect into the mix which is my intended interpretation. The stone ledges and beautiful mountains almost remind me of a temple somewhere in rural Asia. The pond with the platform also is one I greatly like as it highlights the sense of what the space signifies, the peaceful greenery and pond give a sense of tranquility. My other two scenes I really liked from the space cube model are the Nappa Valley Wedding Scene and the couple facing away in the park like area, with the Ai rendering I was able to immerge nature into my space cube which is something not able to be done with white foam in a 9x9 cube. The two remaining scenes from the space cube that did not necessarily turn out how I planned are the arch and couple looking at each other, the arch is still very interesting and has a peaceful use, but I was wanting a different material. With the couple looking at each other I just could not get the rendering I wanted, and it is overall pretty bland. The last piece was the topography map of what I was trying to portray as a river, it was my dancing lines project, and the formation formed reminded me of an arial view of a waterway, which is right up my alley. Overall, this project was really fun, and the majority of the time I got a result in the ballpark of what I was looking for, but with the unpredictability of Ai

this can take many attempts to do so. AI technology simulates a huge creative illustration without the use of a human mind. The various subfields and categories AI can formulate are beyond ideas that overcome the bare minimum. AI has changed the technology world today and the emphasis to bring things to life. It brought on a revolution in the industry and the utilization of the world. Working with AI technology was something new for me to try. I’ve seen previous designs that were created through the use of this software. AI technology has a mind of its own, but can be directed if told to do so. It can interact with previous illustrations to create a new idea, or design something new from the bottom up. When I first was testing out AI, I noticed how different each piece of artwork came out. Even though my pieces were different to begin with, AI created a story within the same space provided. Even as I gave it directions towards what I wanted, I never could anticipate the outcome of the piece. For example, one of my pop-up card models was decorated with shaving cream marbling to add texture and definition. Converting this same image into AI, it turned it into an outer space field with the same obstructures previous. AI took the same space and turned it into something new. I was constantly satisfied and intrigued after each rendering of the software. However, I did have some difficulties trying to illustrate my original pieces. There were few times that I would have to re-render my piece and create a new image. I wanted to keep my AI versions similar to the original, but contrasted with a new story. Even though it took longer to go back over my original pieces, I was able to get better results after a second time. I like with AI how you can receive multiple creations that different greatly, but all consist of the same basis. In the next upcoming years, I believe AI technology will continue to thrive and extend into other work spaces. I believe that AI technology will pave the wave for future opportunities. It takes the creative mindset of a human and illustrates it farther in detail. I’m glad I’ve gotten to try out how this software works. I believe in the future it will benefit my career. AI technology is new technology, and I as a student am ready to take on the new path. I really enjoyed this project working with AI. My favorite part was seeing my models come to life and turn into real interior spaces. I felt technologically challenged when beginning this project. The biggest (and only) learning curve was figuring out that Fabrie would only convert our picture into AI images if they were .jpeg or .pdf files. However, after that it was a breeze to finish this project. My favorite image outcome was of my window view project. My drawing combined with my writing and style choices made a beautiful AI image. It looks close to the window in my room, but with even cooler aspects added. Overall, I had an exciting time experimenting with this website and producing my images. In the future, this website can help me with inspiration for interior spaces. I can take a picture of any space I am working on and upload it into Fabrie. After that, I can change the style and description to anything I want to experiment with different ideas. It’s great to be a designer in this day and age with helpful technology like AI.


Playing with AI was very fascinating to me. It is so interesting to see what the computer will generate based off an image and some words. It is a similar process as giving a group of people the same brief and all the results varying. For the most part, my writing really aided the AI results. Without the writing, the image doesn’t read as well. However, if I added more direction to the writing, I think the rendering would read even better. My favorite rendering is the window view. The AI image looks practically identical to the sketch. All of the details in the sketch are visually seen in the rendering. The AI adds various details and personality of its own to the image. But overall the side by side of the window sketch and the rendering look great together. I had a lot of fun during this project and I can’t wait to experiment with it more. Today, we looked at the technology that transformed our work we have been focused on into a newly created space. It is very interesting to focus on this work and watch the AI transform our work into what we tell it and even more. I have always been very interested in the work of AI and how they create spaces or images. I have never been able to explore it before, so it was very interesting to be able to work with it today. As I began working with AI, I got to explore with my Space Cube, Pattern, Window View, Pop Up Models, and Colored Casting Model. I began by looking at my Space Cube model and the twelve photographs that correspond with its space. I went one by one playing with the settings and the scenes and changing the descriptions of each model. I learned that I needed to be majorly specific so that the AI would generate the correct space that I needed it to. I began by directly transferring my original space cube paragraphs over and then realized that I was going to need to add more details. For example, I added details such as making the space realistic, noting the stairs, or specifying specific spaces that I wanted to highlight. Next, I moved into my pattern drawing. This was an interesting and fun one to make because from the beginning, I stated that my pattern looked as if it was a loaf of bread. When moving into AI, I wanted to take this statement a step further and, in the description, I told it to make the drawing look like real bread. This created my vision and the space I had originally seen to real life which was fun and interesting to watch happen. Moving on, I played with my window view on the AI website. I wanted it to create space, but also, I also wanted it to expand my thoughts further. I put it to create an outdoor space with greenery around the surfaces to create a different feel. The AI-generated a space that was a similar structure to my window view and then took it as vines were growing all around it. It really generated a pretty photograph, and I appreciated the design that it incorporated. Next, I moved onto the pop up models which was a little more difficult for me. It was hard to make the AI generate a similar design to my original photograph even when I updated and changed the description that I did for each one. I ended up figuring some out, but others were much more abstract. This was still interesting because it still created the space, but added much more details that hid the initial design. Lastly, I looked at my colored casting model. I told the AI-generator to create a dark and mysterious feeling to ensure that it portrayed the emotion fear. It did exactly what I said and

took my initial photograph and brought it to life. This was fun to see happen. Overall, I learned a lot about AI that I didn’t know. It was interesting to play with the different design styles, descriptions, and so much more in order to create the photograph that I wanted. It really pushed me to think about the future and how much AI will advance in the future and how it can only get better. In the future, I foresee us using this technique to get clearer ideas and portray our designs in a more realistic and effective way. Working with AI has shown me a method to explore my ideas in a quick manor, going through iterations within seconds. While figuring out how to manipulate the AI took some time, I found out how to use the AI in a way to get close to the result that I wanted. With practice, time and AI learning more with every day, I can see myself using AI in the future for finding design ideas that I might not have otherwise. As AI grows and becomes more ingrained into our society and practice, learning how to use and manipulate AI will become standard practice in many fields. This being my first time working with AI, I was pleasantly surprised by its capabilities. AI gave me the ability to bring my scenes to life, and to be able to see further past my own visions/plans for my work. When entering my image, I also added the description, and I played around with the setting to get the correct image. There were several times AI did something other than what I had planned, sometimes this forced me to redo it, and others it opened my eyes to new possibilities. AI would create some images that completely disguised the main parts of the images. For example, Project #4-2 would hide the walls or the human figure. Other times AI would create very frightening images, some of which I used (because my chosen emotion was fear). How I would know AI created a successful image was if it added to the scene and to the emotion I was aiming for. This program offers so many different opportunities to use AI. I can use it in my future drawing, models, etc. In future processes I could even use AI to further my projects/ideas. For example, I could have taken a picture of my unpainted casting model and used AI to choose my color palette. There are so many possibilities to AI and it definitely will play a big role in my future creations. Although many argue AI destroys creativity, through this process, I believe I can use it for my benefit and for my future designs. Therefor, after this project, I believe AI will be a crucial part of my creative process in the future. Using AI to create images and spaces is so interesting. When it was mentioned that we would be using AI, I had no idea what to expect. When I first began to use this website, I was excited for what the outcome would be. I started off with my space cube photos, starting with a figure next to a column. The outcome was completely different from my photo, and I was confused because it didn’t match. I realized that it had turned it sideways and added a person. The AI completely changed the image but still included the column and figure. As I did each of my 12 space cube photos, I changed the style so that each one would turn out different. I wanted to experiment with the different styles so that I could see which

15


one I liked the best. Before I did my pattern, I visualized it in my head with certain colors and sitting on a surface. When I generated the photo, it was completely different from how I envisioned it to be. I thought it matched the design of the pattern even better. When I did my window view drawing, I wanted it to look fictional, so I selected styles that would achieve this. It turned out to have lots of plants and turned out to be one of my favorites from this assignment. The pop-up cards were a little difficult because it was hard to find a fitting description that is able to explain to the AI what I’m trying to achieve. When I did the colored casting model, it turned the table it was sitting on in the photo into water. I thought this was so interesting that I wanted to know why it chose to do that. Although there were good results, I had some difficulties. Sometimes, when I generated a photo, it turned out nothing like the photo before. This was a problem because no one would know how the generated photo relates to the original photo. This meant that I needed to do it again to get a result that I liked better. In the future, I could use this website to turn my drawings or models into real-looking rooms and objects. This is also a very quick way, and it isn’t very difficult to use. AI is an up-and-coming tool in several fields, one of which being design. Getting to try out some AI tech on my own models and drawings today was fun, minus the wait times and errors generating an image but still taking my coins. Which I guess work to exemplify a few different problems that can arise when using AI. In addition, not all my images are super accurate, some of them even less close than others, but that may be because I didn’t have the right kind of prompt for the space and what I wanted the technology to do. I feel like this particular website was also somewhat limited in the different styles you could choose from, but they’ll likely be adding more as we continue to dive into the use of AI. After finishing generating my pictures, I still firmly believe that AI will NEVER be able to truly replicate the work of an actual designer for several reasons, but I do feel that it will become a great tool for designers of all levels to get more ideas and see different depictions of the spaces they’re trying to create. But AI will always lack the key principle of humanity; sure, it can likely be programmed in at a decent level, but there’s still a sense of disconnect between computer/ software and human. We speak different languages, and it can be tricky to try and communicate complex ideas in a way that the other understands. I already experienced this a little bit when working with Rhino for Design Thinking.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how lighting effects walls and spaces. I also learned how wall, columns, and curved walls work together. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - From this project I learned that drawing what you see can make you see more then what you thought you did. It also made me think about how we see the work in different perspectives. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that I really don’t have that much patience. After looking at a painting for 3 hours I did notice more things about the artwork then I did before. Project #4 “Space Cube” - Project four taught me a lot of different things. It taught me how to manage my time and do things right the first time. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned that making a portfoili with all the projects that we did took a lot of work and made me happy to see them all together. Overall - These five weeks have been so stressful for me and has been nothing like anything I’ve done before. Although it was a stuggle with very long night it was very rewarding. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - One thing I would tell myself before the five weeks is that you can push yourself more then you think and you can do so much more then you think. You will lose a lot of sleep but this work is all your future and for you to do something you love.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” Project #2 “Hand Drawing” Project #3 “Power of Patience” Project #4 “Space Cube” Project #5 “First Portfolio” Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? This course, while extremely important and useful, will seem convoluted at the beginning. The instructions and amount of time spent in the studio are daunting, but looking back, the completion of the tasks at hand was the most important aspect of the class. Completion, as Jinoh stated at the beginning of class, is ninety percent of the grade and something to be proud of. The times that I experienced doubt in this class, as to whether I should continue, were valid. But thanks to Mr. Carl, I now know that this class was much more geared towards interior design than anything else. Landscape, while not entirely different, asks for different aspects of architecture than what you are currently doing. While the class was more aimed towards interior architecture, the lessons and projects are still important and useful for your degree. Building models, learning how to use software tools, and submitting assignments in a timely and orderly fashion are all skills you will need to have leading into the next five weeks, and in your life in general. So, it’s important to remember that in the end, completing this course with your best foot forward is the goal of these five weeks. Be sure to look ahead at what is required of you and do your best to be punctual to class and pin-ups. There will be moments of angst and doubt, but the moments of joy and completion of things you enjoy far surpass those. Enjoy it.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how walls, columns, and space can affect your emotions based on the type of walls, their sequence and their placement. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned that it is important to practice drawing what you see versus what you think you see, learned how to draw in 2-point perspective, and learned how color can affect emotions. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that there is more than what meets the eye about paintings, especially abstract ones. Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned that iteration plays a critical role into a successful model, and failure can lead to accomplishment. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to use AI in an acceptable manner so as to not diminish the human experience and creativity. Overall - I learned the basics of design school and how to think more about the placement and meanings behind everyday objects. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I would tell her that no matter what you think you are getting into, you have no idea what’s coming. Everyone is creative in their own way, and comparison is normal in the process, but don’t put yourself down just because someone has a different idea to yours because someone could be thinking the exact same thing.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throughout this project, I learned how to create purposeful compositions utilizing walls, columns, and space. This assignment gave me the opportunity to develop skills in creating intentional spaces with consideration of the environment and those utilizing the space. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Throughout this project, I learned a lot about different drawing perspectives and styles. This gave me the opportunity to further develop my drawing skills and to better understand my models and the spaces around me. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This project allowed me to dive deep into interpreting art and understanding intentions of others’ work. The assignment gave me the opportunity to gain a new experience and discover the deeper meanings within my assigned painting. Project #4 “Space Cube” - This project taught me how to compose and continuously develop models of my own. It gave me the opportuniy to create my own intentions within a model and challeneged me to keep those intentions throughout a variety of assignments. Throughout this project I was able to further develop my critical thinking and problem solving skills. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Throughout this project, I learned a lot about AI programs and gained experience in a new form of technology. I faced many challenges throughout these assignments but it allowed me to further my problem solving and computer skills. Overall - Throughout this course, I have gained a variety of experiences and skills by completing and analyzing design work. New concepts and ways of thinking were introduced throughout the course which greatly furthered my understanding of design as well as the depths of my work. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I would share how important it is to understand the purposes and concepts of design while activley thinking outside the box. Along with that, I would tell myself to be confident in my ideas and work and to not stress because even during long, hard nights in the studio, life is always good when you get to do something you enjoy.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Project one taught me how the mood of a room changes with the rearrangement of walls, columns, and space. This prokect helped me focus on envoking emotion through a space I made and to be more attentive on how a space feels. Especially when these elements are implemented in real life. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand drawing taught me patience and attention to detail due to the concentration needed when drawing or using my hands to put projects together. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Observing a painting for a rigorous amount of time taught me how one’s perceptions can change over an extent of time. This excercise requires a strong time to be able to focus for a long extent of time but the result was the ability to truly understand the art piece to a deeper level. Project #4 “Space Cube” - A continuation of “Wall, Column, and Space”, this project continued to focus on envoking emotion in a space but aswell as proritizing teaching me to able to support my ideas throught models. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned new software and digital techniques that will continue to help me in my career. Overall - Creating my portfolio allowed for reflection on the projects I made through out the semester and I am able to say I not only learned some fundemental design elements but I learned I am capable of more than I thought coming in 5 weeks ago. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I would tell myself that this is not 5 weeks of perfectionalism and to embrace new ideas. Embrace messes and mistakes. I would add to ask for help and bounce ideas off others.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how walls and columns relate to space and emotion. How they can impact people and thier thoughts on a space. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to ilistrate my ideas in both traditional and abstract ways, as well as how to draw diagrams of a 3d space. Ie elevations, sections, and 3d views. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to view an image with a designers eye. Disecting the artistic and design elements used to create a painting. Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned how to create a space in a limited area that can be used to express or envoke an emotion. I also learned how to simplifie elemnts in order to express the same emotion in a smaller space. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to utilize Ai in order to render my images into an example of what they would look like in person. Overall - I learned how to express emotion and ideas through the manipulation of positive and negative elements, as well as how to understand what those elements are in understanding of artistic and design elements. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - You can make it. It wont be easy but it will be fun, and you will love everything that you will do.

In this image a figure is show exploring a space between two inward facing diagonal walls. These walls push the figure farther on its path. These walls initially create a sense of almost fear with the shrinking exit created by them, but the joy and excitement come from the adventure created by them. Like climbing a mountain to see a wonderful view. One must face this shrinking corridor to reach the larger room at the end and get the pay off. Adding that layer of adventure on top of the previously established comfort.


AI Generated Image

This image shows a figure moving between 2 shorter columns. These columns act as a sort of false wall leading the figure forward on its path without forcing it to move in the single direction. These brings comfort from the use of columns as they make the path more open and give more choice to the exploration of the figure while still acting as a form of guidance giving the idea of a walls on a path rather than a physical one.

AI Generated Image

This photo shows a figure standing in the center of a large circular room with a circular void in the roof. This place acts as a place of rest and beauty for the figure. Allowing it to sit and simply view the void. This place has both the curiosity created by the above void and the comfort from the given choice of standing in the light of the void to be viewed by all or by sitting on the sidelines in the safety of the shadow while still viewing the void.

In this photo a figure is shown standing in front of a curved wall. This wall acts a placer to push to figure further along on its path. The wall also has an almost steely sense that makes it feel safe when near it. That it is a place of protection and safety but also a place of comfort. Having all the sharp edges removed and rounded.

In this image a figure stands in the center of 4 columns on a raised platform. The figure in the center has an almost divine state being surrounded by the taller columns. Said columns do not support anything, rather it feels as though they are their soley for the purpose of uplifting those who stand between them. Creating an air of importance for those who stand between them.

What I learned...

In the Wall Coulumn and Design I learned a lot about createing images that convey feelings and use angles and lighting to do it. In the hand drawing excersise I learned to apply my five senses to drawing what I see and feel into a tangible image. In the Power of Patience section I obvisly learned pateince but i also learned to dig deeper into art and understand the why behind designers choices. The space cube taught me the imprtance of scale and being able to convey the same feeling through multiple different models The process of making a portfolio is very rewarding and nice to see all of your work come together in one space. I also learned to get bettter at documenting my work in order to showcase the time i spent on it.

I wanted each project to have a different visual aspect to focus on, so for my 12-picture sequence I used the “Pop Art” style the platform used my original picture and my writing to articulate an abstract version of my pictures. Each picture was visually stimulating with bright colors and unique lighting. Fabrie seemed to pick and choose which parts of my writing it wanted to use to illustrate the picture. In some instances, it was a very literal depiction of my words and picture. Other pictures used more of an abstract approach; provoking emotions rather than a a distinct outline of the picture.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

For my dancing lines pattern, I played with a couple of different styles. I used the “Modern Architecture” style that create a simple clean image using my abstract lines. I also used the “Indoor Lighting” style that created a moody, dark image, and it created a lot of depth to my 2D pattern.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

My window drawing, I wanted to try a bunch of different styles to see what all products would be produced. I first ran the Ai without any styles selected to see what the natural depiction would be perceived as. I did this method twice receiving two different outcomes. One being a nature scene that was acuate to my drawing. However, the second one portrayed my drawing at a skyline view with clouds where the grass would be. I then started incorporating styles to produce more visually interesting outcomes.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

My pop-up pictures were the most difficult to portray. It had a lot of trial and error before landing on the “Morphy Richards Electronics” style it took the shaving cream marbling and made it look more like a slab of real marble. The interior space of my pop-up was different in each picture and the Ai played a lot with the depth of my pop-ups.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throughout the process of Project 1 I learned a lot about myself within the craftmanship area. When first beginning I was not sure of how to create specifc pieces while keeping them visually aesthetic. With practice of cutting and molding I was able to make clean work. I learnd that practice and itteration is key to creating precise art. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - When entering Studio, I lacked confidence in the drawing/sketchign field. I can now confidently say that I feel much better about my skill set that I gradually created this 5 weeks. For some of us, it’s difficult to stear away from creating perfct work, and I mean slipping into a sort of abstract work. I heavily put my focus into whether or not my lines were straigt and so on and so forth. But what studio has taught me is that art is completely subjective, you have the creative freedom to illustrate your own thoughts and idea. So over the course of project 2, I began to loosen up slightly and let my mind get into a sort of flow. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - At first, I truly thought this project would lack in serving purpose toward my new skill set of interior deisgn knowledge, but sitting here today I know now that patience within art is one of the most key concepts towards understanding the meaning behind art. After visitng Crystak Bridges, I was astonished by the amount of details I had noticed after standing infront of a painting for 3 hours. With a group of people each giving individual feedback, it opens up so many new topics that reach greater than the eye can see. I have learned to enhance my time with work and delve deep into the significance of each stroke and decision made. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube drawing was by far the most strenuious yet rewarding project I completed in these 5 weeks. When first gievn the task of creating a large sequence phase, I found it somehwat easy and entertaining to have free range over my model. But as we progressesed to building smaller space cube models, I learned that I am able to convey so many new emotions and messages through my work. As I recreated each scene, my narratives or stories for each phase would be become more and more detailed. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - AI is becoming a large part of the desgn work extremely fast. When asked to take our own work and create AI images, I was hesitant to follow through. I was scared of the fact that my work would be completely construed and alrtered based off a software. But after seeign the creations I was surpised to see that although my work had been completely changed it was not negative in any sort. It opened up my eyes to the hundreds of possibilites that are to come. AI is not a danger but more of a addition to creativity. Overall - Overall, I had an amazing experince over these past 5 weeks. I have never in my life learned so many new skills and yet so much about myself all at the same time. This program is mentally challenging but so rewarding which continues to push me to create bigger and better projects. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to myself before these 5 weeks, I would tell myself that It will all workout although you outcome may not be what you anticipated. Change is difficult for you in such a quick time frame but you will mold to the specificty of each task. I am extremely proud of how resilant you have become!

What I learned... Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - This project taught me how to manage not only time and material, but also ideas and decision making. Throughout this project, I learned how to properly execute detailed and consistent model building with high craftsmenship. In addition to the craftsmanship and skills that this project taught me, I now have a much better understanding of lighting conditions and the way that they affect a space. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand Drawing was a seven series project including everything from blind drawing, to examining the sights outside of your window. These subsects of this project taught me all about my drawing style, and the way that I can shade, outline, and depict different real-world objects. Specifically, in the color section of this project, we were able to explore how color affects the world around us, and what we can do as designers to bend the boundaries. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - In this Project, I learned the valuable lesson of attention and patience. After watching and interacting with the same piece of artwork for three hours straight, there were many things that I learned. Generally, I learned that there are so many different reasons for an artist or designer to add something into their piece. Moving forward this observation will be helpful to be able to decifer design styles and see what they are trying to do to a space. Project #4 “Space Cube” - Within this Space Cube project, there were many different phases and models that were made to get the idea across to the viewers. This project specifically taught us how to iterate with the same idea. Moving from orginal photography, to sequence modeling, to prototyping modeling, and then finally finishing our final model allowed for us as designers to learn how to come againt adversity. All in all, this project allowed me to learn a higher level of crafstmenship and also taught me the skills I needed to be able to design a space based off of an emotion or idea. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - In this piece of the studio course allowed us to explore the ideas and images that can be created through artificial intelligence. Through this study, we were able to see what AI can do in the design world, as well as learning how as designers we can utilize this tool to create amazing designs. Overall - Overall, this course taught me some amazing lessons about design education and the true hands-on approach that is needed. From the first day of studio, this course requires you to dive into your work and immediately find your personal design style. Weaving through projects day in day out aided in taking in so much information about every facet of how to start a design journey. After moving through all of these projects and having to reflect on the course, this cours taught me how to manage time, generate ideas, and materialize those ideas into something tangible. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to me before embarking on this journey, I would tell myself that you need to trust the process. Most days will seem that the work is impossible, but truly at the end of the day when all of your work is layed out in front of you, there is not a better feeling.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #37

This category conveys the effects of a human figure as they enter a section between two parallel curved walls. As the human figure walks through this category, they are only able to walk in the path that is outlined for them, leaving no freedom. I felt as if I had no choice in this situation, filling me with frustration and hesitation. Art elements such as the line design in this category convey that feeling of only having one option to move.

Phase #2: Category #50

In this category, the viewer is able to see the connection between an organic void and a human figure. As the human figure enters this category, they get a new lighting condition that comes through the void above them. I felt that as I moved through this space, there was a sense of something looming above me. This feeling filled me with fear and uncertainty because of the use of shape and form.

126 116


In this category, there is an illustration of a curved wall and an s-curved wall, and their connection to a human figure. As the human figure moves to this category, they are met with another section where they have no freedom to move, there is only one walkable path. I felt fearful in this situation to know what was on the other side of this dark path knowing that I cannot go anywhere else. Again, here there is an overwhelming use of line design to convey these emotions.

Phase #3: Category #44

This category portrays how a voided square affects a human figure. As the human figure approaches this category, they are met with a drop off with no certain floor. I felt that as I was approaching this hole in the floor there was nothing beneath filling me with fear and anxiety. Designing this space with form and space in mind, allows the human figure to experience all these emotions.

Phase #4: Category #45

127 117


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #35

This category shows the viewer the connection between a human figure and an outside curved wall. While the human figure approaches this category, they walk up to a massive, curved wall that blocks their path. I felt as if I was being forced to move in a different direction see as how this massive wall was blocking my way. The emphasis, space, and form of this category complete its purpose by filling the human figure with fear and despair.

Phase #6: Category #29

This category portrays the crushing space of two converging walls with a column blocking the way of a human figure. When moving to this category, the human figure has no free space to move about, they are squeezed into a small crease. I felt as if the world was closing in around me as I walked through this converging hallway. The space that was used in this design lends itself to this crushing feeling as well as the frail feeling.

128 118


This category conveys four columns closing in on a singular human figure. As the human figure moves into this category, they gain a sense of claustrophobia from the pressing wall configuration. I felt that walking through this space I am completely closed in and unable to move throughout the space. The configuration of this space comes across to the viewer as scary or fearful because of the heightened values and shapes used here.

Phase #7: Category #21

This category shows the viewer how an inclined ramp oriented to a facing wall affects a human figure. While moving to this category in the model, the human figure is met with a complete obstruction of their frontal view. I felt as though the world was curling in front of me as I was met with a massive incline. The use of emphasis and form for this category allows the human figure to be exposed to true fright.

Phase #8: Category #17

129 119


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #15

In this category, there is an illustration of an angled facing edge floating in front of a human figure. Moving through the model, the human figure is met with this angled floating wall which seems to block their path using line, space, and contrast. All of these factors move together to allow the human figure to experience fear,

Phase #10: Category #9

This category portrays an aligned floating wall with a human figure facing directly head-on. As you move through the model, the human figure loses their viewpoint to their right side, however, the rest of their vantage point is clear. I feel that walking through this space, there is a sense of emphasis on the aligned wall, as well as the lines and shapes that are used to form this space. This leaves the human figure with a feeling of tremendous anxiety on top of uncomfort.

130 120


In this category, there are their walls that are connected with a human figure within them. As the human figure moves to this category, they are greeted with an enclosed space with one entrance and one exit. I felt as if I was walking into darkness without any sort of roadmap, filling me with fear and anxiety. From a design standpoint, the main points in this category are the lines and value that are built into this structure.

Phase #11: Category #33

This category illustrates the effects of a curved wall inside on a human figure. As the human figure moves to this final category in the sequence, they are met with a larger-than-life wall that curves around them. I felt as if I was completely insignificant standing next to such an astounding wall. The emphasis and line work in this category lends itself to that frail and insignificant feeling that the human figure experiences.

Phase #12: Category #34

131 121


Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

The intention with this AI generated image was to create a visual that leads the viewer to ask questions about what this composition’s purpose is. With the use of different coloring and material feelings, the viewer geta a drastically changing drawing to experiment with.

132 122


Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

In this AI generated image, the intention was to take a generic drawing of a window view and morph it into a gorgeous scene of serenity and calm energy.

133 123


Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

The intention for these images was to evoke the emotion of fear as well as anxiety in the viewers. With the reckless marbling of the paper, and the overwhelming space in comparison to the human figure embues this scene with those stated emotions.

134 124


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

With these images, the intention behind them was to take an aggressively painted model and completely invert the idea behind it into an image that forces a viewer to lose themself inside of it. In the original photo, there was a feeling of fear and anxiousness, whereas the AI generated image lulls the viewer into a false sense of security.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The most important thing I learned in this section was the use of clean and exact lines along with intentional lighting. The entirety of this section it became clear that for your pictures to come out the way you want them to it is crucial that you make clean-cut lines. Using the clean-cut foam board made it easier to make. pretty pictures. It was also important to learn the aspect of lighting. As time went on, I realized the importance of using different ways of lighting, which made my work have more contrast and appear better. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - The most important tool this part of our semester has taught me is precision. In all of our drawings, it became important that with most of them, you needed to have precise measurements. Without the precise measurements, the drawings would not come out as intended, making your drawing look unrealistic. for most of the drawings implementing a ruler in your work was very important to make sure your drawings were exact. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The most important learning device this section taught me is truly the art of patience. Patience is something that has been spoken about a lot and design school but is very hard to teach. The power of patience and something that is overlooked in most education. We were taught to be patient with our work, and we learned the positive outcomes of patience. This use of patience will be a long-term beneficial lesson that we will use. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The most important part of this particular section was the importance of well-crafted models. Throughout the entirety of the space cube, it becomes clear that my personal work became a lot better the further into the space cube section I got. In the beginning, it was hard to understand what a clean model versus a well crafted model looked like. After getting to see the difference between a well crafted model and a sloppy model. It was evident that a well-crafted model made a huge difference. The cleaning and cutting of foam board and other materials make a model look like a child arts and crafts experiment versus a professional model. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The first portfolio has taught me to be careful about where I save my work and to be proud of myself. One of the struggles of the first portfolio was trying to find all work. File management is talked about a lot in design, thinking that is not necessarily taught. I wish we would have learned a little bit more about where to store our files for easy access to finish with that being said taught me intentional about where I’m saving my work. The first portfolio is also made me realize that I have lots of work to be proud of and look at. Overall - This course has taught me the importance of time management and the basic tools I need to succeed in the interior architecture program. As everyone knows, the summer program is extremely fast-paced. This fast-paced course has really implemented good habits of time management and my work. Because everything is due so quickly, it forced me to stay focused and get things done, which is something I will be grateful for in the long run. this course is also given us all the basics for what we will need in future architecture classes. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could speak to myself before these five weeks, I would tell myself not to stress. Everyone makes it seem like the summer is borderline impossible to do but with good work ethic and time management, it is very possible. I believe that causing extra stress for myself was unnecessary to begin with. It helped me create good habits, but, most of the stress I had placed myself was unhealthy and unnecessary. Also, I would tell myself I’m about to have a lot of fun.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #8

Floating and faced wall is a series of images that show a large wall placed directly in front of a human lifting up off the ground. The human is unmoved in this category but is overcome by a lifted wall. When I look at these images I feel like the wall that’s lifting is opening a new space for me which makes me feel excited. Once the wall is completely up in the air I feel like It could drop on my heads making me not want to move forward. So for my category when the wall is lifted it makes the room annoying and uncomfortable because I would have to get around the wall before I can continue on my path

Phase #2: Category #26

Two Walls and two Columns with two lighting conditions is a picture where there are two perpendicular walls with an opening in between the two. The columns Guide the path of where the human goes that is placed in the middle of them in the pictures. When I look at these images I feel like I should not continue because the lighting is making it scary and I do not know what is around the walls.

126 128


Wall surface with an incline is a photograph that shows a wall that is to the left of the human. The wall is then tilted to about 45 degrees. The human is walking underneath the structure. When I look at this scene, I originally like there is a clear space where I can stand in the room. When the wall starts to tilt and lift above my head, I feel the need to run away from it.

Phase #3: Category #13

Four columns is a pair of two images showing 4 columns set in a square for my scene I added an open square roof. The man is standing in the middle of the columns. When I look at the wide column image I do not want to approach the columns. They are placed in such a way that I feel like they are a boundary of some sort. I feel uneasy being in this room.

Phase #4: Category #21

127 129


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #37

Entering into a space between Parallel Curved Walls is a series of 8 photos that show 2 curves facing away from the camera. The human is walking in between the two walls. In the pictures where the curves are facing away I feel scared to enter because the walls are huge and I have no way to see what is around them unless I go through them.

Phase #6: Category #46

Void on the upside with columns or walls is another picture similar to 45 because they have the hole in the ceiling which gives a specific light shape from above in this one a square. There are also columns and walls placed around the human which is in the middle giving the space some structure. When I see these images I feel like I am in some asylum because the lighting is very different and the columns are spaced out making the room feel odd.

128 130


Void on the upside is a very interesting group of 4 pictures that show us a hole in a ceiling letting in a certain shape of light a circle with a circle in it for these pictures. Right below the light the human is standing so they are lit from the top. When I see these pictures I feel anxious that the circle could wall through the opening and I’m not sure how to get around it.

Phase #7: Category #45

Entering a space between curved and mirrored walls is a picture that shows similar-sized curves that are set parallel to each other. The human figure appears the be walking through the space in between the curves. When I look at these images I notice that as the walls get taller the more scared and hesitant I feel to walk through them. Also the space in the middle of the curves is tiny making it uncomfortable to get through.

Phase #8: Category #38

Curved wall and s curve wall is an image that shows an s curved wall and a curved wall making a tiny path. The human is meant to look like they are walking through this path. When I see these pictures I get annoyed and uncomfortable. The s curved wall makes this entrance feel like a trip and makes me want to avoid it. I also cut out the floor where the path isn’t making it uncomfortable and the wall is just below the handrail height also making that uncomfortable.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines Lily Dudle

My dancing lines drawing and AI pictures are very similar and I wanted them to be. When I originally created my dancing lines I wanted to use lines that were already present along with shapes and angles that were similar to the original drawing. When I put it in the AI transformer I wanted to keep that same strategy and keep everything similar so I kept the all white color but chose to have different heights and textures so it was possible to see in the drawing.

132 134


Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

My original window drawing displays my exact view outside my bedroom window. I wanted to use different line weights to display the different distances from my window. On the first try of putting this drawing into the AI transformer, I was able to get an acurate picture of my window view. The colors are more dramatic in the AI picture and apper to be night time but overall I loved the outcome.

133 135


Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

In this transformation between the original cut out and the AI picture the first thing I wanted to make sure I had was the marble aspect of the cutout. When I entered in the photo the AI kept the overall structure the same which I was please about and it made the entire photo out of marble which I had requested. I loved this AI outcome because it displays the exact original cutout with a little more pizazz.

134 136


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

Colored Casting Model

In my original colored model I wanted to mke sure I had the darkest colors and I wanted the mold to feel impossible to actually walk through. In the AI photo I struggled to get something crestive yet acurate. I thought back to the original principles I had made my model off of and entered those intothe requests. When an all black version of my model came out I was still pleased because it worked with the original intentions I had wanted.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #58

AI generated a very futuristic treehouse like build. I believe the slits in the curved wall is what sparked the long verticle windows in the photo.

Phase #2: Category #38

The rounded objects translated well when put into AI and the vertical theme contnued as well.

126 140


The verticals were translated again within this AI because of the columns in the photo.

Phase #5: Category #33

This was the outcome after multiple runs of phase #5. The outcome of the AI photo didn’t exactly resemble the original, but i could see the similarieties in shapes throughout, just turned in different directions.

Phase #6: Category #2

This AI photo did not translate the image well however, I can see and understand that the gold ball in the AI photo was refrenced from the human figures head.

128 142


This image really represents the category photo well. The foam square in the simulation photo translated into a window in a bedroom, with a bed, and other room decor.

Phase #7: Category #10

This AI photo is of a bedroom represented and translated the floating wall over very well. It showed the “wall” with decor.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

My intention when marbling my casting mold was to focus on the dark and light purple colors while still including both the brown in my swirling, and the beige was included in the empty spaces as it was the original color of the plaster. When I placed the image into the AI generator, the main intent was to emphasize the staircase heavily as well as the pattern, and the generator satsified my intent.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throught the first project, I learned the basics. This included properly cutting foam board, arranging scenes, implementing lighting, photographing small scaled models, and creating unique scenes of my own. Learning the very basic skills meanwhile using my own creativity was a new and fun start to this program. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand drawing througout the semester improved my eye to pencil coordination. I was able to observe an object or space and grew my ability to recognize how the space can be portayed on a sheet of paper. Learning to draw more expressively and freely allowed my to expand my creativity within the drawing in the semester. Implementing not only observation but emotion and senses in to my drawings made me a more observant artist. Learning the way color, value and saturation affect spaces grew my awarness to the elements around me. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Growing my ability to look at a painting and learn that within time there is always more you can learn the more you observe throught time. The more I looked at the painting over a large span of time, the more I began noticing details I woudnt have noticed prior to this project. Project #4 “Space Cube” - This project grew my creativity as well as learning how a space functions. Using an emotion to be the center of my work taught me how to be more in tune with my creativity within bounds. This project improved my craftmansip when creating models and floorplans. Creating cement and plaster models allowed me to learn a completely new skill of utilizing many different materials. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Creating my first porfolio taught me how much I can do and learn in such a small period of time as well as learning how to compile all of my work. Learning to utilize AI within my creations opened my eyes to how much I can do with as simple as a hand drawing of a window. Overall - Overall, I learned so much within 5 weeks and what I beleive to be my biggest accomplishment within my learning journey is how much I am capable of doing and learning. I am beyond excited to continue learning. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to myself prior to these five weeks, I would like to share how fast time flies when I am enjoying the work I am doing. Despite the lack of sleep and high stress, the validation received from completing so much interesting work is worth it all.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #

The photos illustrate how the curved wall at different heights, lighting, and lengths being rearranged looks in comparison to the human figure. When the walls change, the human figure appears smaller or larger, but the lighting changes the perspective of the human as well. When the walls change, the human figure appears smaller or larger. The walls in the example I chose appeared to give little to no room for me to move forward, however the lighting is inside, the space to move forward seems larger.

Phase #2: Category #

The photos show how the curved wall at different heights and lengths being rearranged looks in comparison to the human figure. When the walls change, the human figure appears smaller or larger. The specific photo I chose of the human figure appears small.

126 152


The photos demonstrate how the curved wall at different lengths looks in comparison to the human figure moving in different paths. When the walls change, the human figure appears in different proportions. In the image I chose, the large walls that I could move forward through but felt restricted on either side of me.

Phase #3: Category #

The photograph illustrates a human figure walking past the thin part of a curved wall on the left. As the human figure moves past the wall, it becomes decreasingly less obstructed. In the image I chose, in the fifth image, the human figure can move freely again after completely passing the wall that he appears to be frustrated and storming past the wall.

Phase #5: Category #

The image illustrates how the curved wall and straight wall at different heights and different positions looks in comparison to the human figure. When the position changes, the human figure appears in different conditions and appears as different sizes. The wall in the image I chose show the easy movement forward through the walls with little to no obstruction forward but constriction from either side.

Phase #6: Category #

The photos illustrate how the curved wall at different heights and lengths looks in comparison to the human figure. When the walls change, the human figure appears smaller or larger. The wall completely obstructed my path to move forward, however the larger walls made it even more difficult to maneuver around it. In the image I chose, it is a larger wall that makes the human figure appear very small compared to the wall.

The photo illustrates how the walls, void and columns at different positions look in comparison to the human figure. When the position changes, the human figure appears in different conditions moving though the elements. The human figure moves freely throughout the scene. However, in the image I chose, the human figure appears to be trapped in the box with restriction if it were to move around too much.

The photo illustrates how the walls, void and columns at different positions look in comparison to the human figure. When the position changes, the human figure appears in different conditions moving though the elements. The human figure moves freely throughout the scene.

Phase #9: Category #

Paragraph The photos illustrate how the void appears at different sizes and shapes in comparison to the human figure. When the position changes, the human figure appears in different conditions. The example I chose leave room to move forward with no obstruction and highlight the figure with the lighting from the voids that appear in the room to be haunted.

Phase #10: Category #

photos illustrate how the wall and void at different positions looks in comparison to the human figure. When the position changes, the human figure appears in different conditions. The void doesn’t allow me to move forward whatsoever however, the space feels closed off due to the vertical wall going through the void. The light going through the void gives the entire scene an eerie feeling.

130 156


The photograph illustrates how the angle of the wall facing the human figure gradually changes at 10-degree increments that results in the gradual obstruction of the human figure. As the angle changes from 0 to 90 degrees, the human figure becomes increasingly obstructed as it moves more into the frame of the wall. The image I chose was at 90 degrees, the wall completely blocked my way, leaving me feeling unable to move forward.

Phase #11: Category #

The photo captures how the walls and lighting appear next to the human figure from different arrangements. As the arrangements change, it illustrates what the elements can appear at different spots and lightings. I had the possibility of moving forward yet felt restricted from both sides but more from the left side. The lighting shining though the space gave the scene a creepy feeling.

What I learned... Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The “Wall, Column, and Space” project was the first project I have ever done in relation to architecture. This was, in my opinion, a very critical step to beginning the semester. By exploring how the smallest of changes can result in an entirely different feeling, I was more able to understand how important my design decisions are. By taking all of these photos and doing all 59 categories, I learned the importance of iteration. Since I was repeating these steps so many times, when it came time to develop my sequence model, I was more than ready to portray the emotion I needed to. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - “Hand Drawing” is something that I would like to consider myself very familiar with. Through all stages of my life, I have always been an artist or creative. However, this class taught me a new type of hand drawing. To me, the most beneficial hand drawings we did were the blind contour drawings. ALthough they are not inherently “good,” the act of just drawing what is right in front of you acurately, without looking, is crucial to being able to draw floor plans, buildings, interiors, and landscapes. We also had a lot of practice with hand drawing floor plans. There was a slight learning curve for me, but in the end I think, so far, I have a good idea of how to make my floor plans and elevations in the future. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The “Power of Patience” project was the project that tested my patience the most. We were tasked with sitting in front of an artwork for three hours. While my given artwork was interesting, it got increasingly harder to look at. I found myself making up new stories about the work that probably were not plausible. Although this task was grueling, I was able to be patient. I am glad I had the opportunity to do something like this. I feel like there are few times when a person is able to be still for this amount of time uninterupted. I can see myself repeating this activity again in the future if I start off with smaller time intervals and increase them as I get more comfortable. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The “Space Cube” project was another practice of iteration. Through this, I learned just how quickly my ideas can change. From my sequence model, to my first space cube, to my final. All of them are unique with their own qualities and special characteristics. I also think transforming my work into a cement and plaster model was a very cool experience. It is so rewarding to see my work come into fruition. I look forward to continuing to develop my space cube into something greater in the coming semester. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Curating this portfolio was a very tedious process, however it was extremely satisfying. Being able to see where I started and where I ended and all of the progress I made made this all worthwhile. Creating this portfolio required a lot of reminiscing on these past five weeks. This portfolio is a gift to myself and my future self to remind myself where it all began. Overall - Overall, my first semester of design school would not have been possible without the friends I made along the way. Through my latest nights, they were always right there beside me. We shared in our struggles, successes, tears, and laughter. Without the support of my friends, family, and instructors, this would have not been as doable as it was. During these five weeks, I have made friends I could have never dreamt of making. They are the reason I am completing this portfolio right now. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I would like to share that not only will this be extremely challenging, at the end of your first five weeks, you will be sad that it is over. There will never be a time like this again. Yes, you will continue pursuing architecture and having studio classes, but you will never (hopefully) be in summer studio again. I am proud of you and I always knew that you could do it.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1:

One curved wall surrounds a person. The pictures show varied sizes, widths, heights, and lighting around the person. This made me feel entrapped because there was nowhere else to go other than around the space.

Phase #2:

Two curved walls are placed next to each other with enough room for a person to pass. The walls are parallel, creating a curved hallway between them. This made me feel like I was entering a large home, as the walls were tall, and the lighting made it seem as if it went on forever.

126 164


Two curved walls are placed side by side, once again, with enough room for a person to pass. The walls have their curves facing inward, making it look like the walls should turn into full circles. This made me feel confused because the layout of the walls did not make sense. It seemed as if they were just making a sort of figure 8, with a destination to nowhere.

Phase #3:

A ceiling with a void cut into the center of it hovers over the person. The void either contains a circle or square with different lighting conditions from either above or below. This created a strange and scary feeling as I felt like I might get abducted by aliens.

Phase #4:

127 165


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5:

Two flat surfaces, also with voids, are placed apart to create a void between the two surfaces. One surface is taller than the other, and a person is seen exploring each surface with different lighting conditions. This made me feel like I was standing on top of different buildings downtown in a city, looking across all the other buildings and down to the street.

Phase #6:

A curved vertical surface is placed through the center of a square void. Pictures are taken from above and below the void with different lighting conditions and a person in distinct positions. This made me feel confused, as the curve seemed to have no purpose and the void with the lighting made me feel like the focus was on me in my confused state.

128 166


An S-curved wall is placed on the left of a curved wall with room to walk through. The pictures display different heights of each wall with different lighting conditions. The shorter walls made me feel as if I had more direction than the taller walls. The taller walls made me feel lost, like I was walking through a maze.

Phase #7:

Two walls with a large space between them have either vertically or horizontally aligned columns. The lighting is then shifted from between the space of the walls or from behind the person. The images with light coming from between the space create an inviting and welcoming feel, whereas the ones with light behind me, made me feel very unwelcome in the space I was in

Phase #8:

129 167


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9:

Two walls are connected to make a corner with a stationary person slightly off-center. The joined walls then rotate around the person until the walls are inside out. This made me feel very confused because the movements of the walls made zero sense and I did not know what the point of their movement was.

Phase #10:

One wall is vertically aligned with a backdrop and a second wall is angled to be able to intersect the first wall if it were to continue in length. Three sets of two columns are aligned behind each other with several people distributed throughout. This made me feel as if I was in an exceptionally large space. I found that having more columns made the space feel bigger because it seemed like they were holding up a high ceiling or heavy structure that needed a lot of support. Lighting is changed constantly to highlight how large the space can feel from every angle.

130 168


Two vertical walls are aligned with a space between them for room for two vertically aligned columns. The lighting comes from directly overhead. This made me feel curious because it felt like I was exploring a large space.

Phase #11:

Three walls are joined to form a sort of room. The walls start off widely opened and then become more narrowed. The wide room made me feel scared because there was too much space for one person. Whereas the narrowed room felt more like a living space and more comfortable.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

I asked the AI to turn my seemingly random lines into forms with dimension and new shapes. I loved the colors it chose. It reminds me of a beach from above with towels and umbrellas all around.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

I love what the AI turned my drawing into. Eveen though the original had a lot more nature in it, I think the AI was consistent in its creations. I think a lot of my created photos have a beachy feel to them. It is exciting to see the consistency of AI throughout my creation of all of these images.

133 171


Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

This is by far my favorite image the AI created. I am obsessed with what it turned my cut out into. I feel as if this is something one would see in a cathedral or very expensive home. I can only dream of being in a place like this.

134 172


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

I gave the AI little to no requests for this one. I wanted it to turn my plaster model into something it created all on its own. I think it turned out very cool. It looks to me like several different things: a boat or sail, a bridge, and a beach. There are so many possibilites here and I cannot wait to continue my exploration.

My First Experience w/ Visual Generative A.I. A.I. is quickly becoming the most important innovation of the decade, perhaps even the century, and whether some people like it or not, its here and will only become more omnipresent from here on out. In design work, A.I.’s purpose is not yet clear, but from my experience today, I have deduced that it is extremely effective at quickly projecting sketch material into a proper visualization of the given concept, though it certainly has its limitations. For starters, I essentially spent the entire afternoon flailing around trying to find a software that worked for me, as the one we were assigned to use would not generate anything to me, so then it became a game of testing out different programs and assess which one was most responsive to my commands, and eventually I settled on using Adobe Firefly. The formatting was very simple and it gave me many different stylistic, orientation, and perspective options to choose from, and it was very enjoyable mixing and matching the different ones to see what they would do. A few times I generated some very wacky images, but for the most part no matter which styles I added, Firefly gave me what I was looking for. There were a couple scenes in my space cube model which were quite difficult to give a correct input for, since the images often had other elements which I did not want to show, so I had to get creative in the way I worded things. Before I properly realized how commands worked, I kept “shouting” at the A.I. in hopes that it would bring certain pieces out, but as I found out, caps locking whole sentences does nothing to the output. Of course, the more I generated, the clearer the process became and I found myself going for bolder expressions, especially with the sequence model which, oddly enough, ended up reminding me of Moroccan villages . Another thing I realized is that its very easy to get the A.I. to create something truly terrifying, as it kept happening if I pasted the paragraphs directly without shaping them, so I did get a lot of cryptid or just outright disturbing images (looking at the paragraph about the forgotten child). Overall though, experimenting with the mechanics of generative A.I. has been very enjoyable for me, and I can not wait to make excuses to implement it into my design work. 127 205

I wanted to make a very geometric design. Every single angle is one of either 4 angles. So a good amount of the curved lines are parallel to eachother.

From the window of my room, I can see a neighboring apartment complex. There are no trees or even landscaping visible. It is just several floors with dozens of windows evenly spaced in a pattern that spans from one side of the window to the other. There is a large concrete pathway separating the window from the neighboring apartments. I can hear and smell cars driving into the apartment parking garage that is just out of sight of the window. I can see and hear people walking along the pathway to their apartments. Sometimes I can even see light shining through the blinds of the apartment windows. It feels very duplicated, all the windows are evenly spaced vertically, and horizontally. All the windows are the same exact size, and the roof stays the same height. It is not remarkably interesting to look at.

I used shaving cream with blue, green, and grey mixed into it. I pressed each side separately into the colored shaving cream. I then smeared the colored shaving cream into the interior of the mold. It looks very different compared to the other mold I made that is all one solid color. Since I pressed the mold into colored shaving cream on each side, it is completely random colors and shapes all around. This makes it so that you can see the depth of the interior spaces much more clearly. They are both the same mold, but also so different.

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned basics in space, area, and lighting Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned to trust my gut, hands artist’s intuition. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to deeply analyze a piece of art by interpretting shapes, colors, and tone. Project #4 “Space Cube” - I expanded on my knowledge from Wall, Column, and Space. I experimented with many different modes of creativity like using and analyzing color, using correct scale, how to draw floor plans, etc. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to use In Design, and learned about how professional portfolios are set up and labeled.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - In this project in learned that different lighting is super helpful and can make a huge difference in the way the space looks and feels. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - When drawing I always feel free and have fun doing it. I learned that there’s many different techniques and ways to draw. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that patience is very important. Whether that’s sitting at a certain painting and really digging deep into what it means or if it’s as simple as taking your time when designing. Project #4 “Space Cube” - Everything is connected! I learned that it’s smart to choose wisely when making decisions and to try your hardest on something because there is a chance it could be connected to something else. The space cube was a great example of that. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned that taking good pictures of things the first time around is super helpful in the end, as well as naming files as I upload them. Overall - Throughout these 5 weeks I’ve learned so much. One thing that really stuck with me though when reviewing what I learned was the friendships and confidence I’ve made along the way. Those 2 things are super important to me and they make this process much easier! If I could talk to myself before these past five weeks I would tell myself these things: - It is going to feel like a lot at first but everything is so worth it. - Continue to talk to people because you will meet lifelong friends who are there to help you and push you to be your best. - There will be long nights in the studio, but you will be accompanied by your friends and get it done together. - Let it be fun. - Take breaks now and then to let your brain rest, then come back and give your best effort. - Hangout with your studio friends! They are in the same boat and need someone just as much as you do.

Phase #1: Category #35

Just like in the last draft of the space cube, I attached the curved wall to the side of the cube. I continue to try and make the secluded and away from everything else. Human figure begins his journey feeling nervous.

Phase #2: Category #44

I connected this category to the left side as well. I did this to make a dead end. I’m the left side still forcing the human figure to take a right and continue his journey. The feeling is dread and loneliness as he’s walking his path by himself.

126 236


This category I placed on the far right corner this time instead of in the middle. The human figure is still isolated in the spotlight is on him. He’s feeling nervous as the human figure is advancing in his journey and about to head uphill.

Phase #3: Category #45

This space is elevated off of the ground and have a bridge connecting to category 45. The human figure made his way up the stairs and over the bridge and another person sitting on the ledge. I’m feeling nervous as I walk by someone stuck in the place, unable to move forward.

Phase #4: Category #47

127 237


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #58

More stairs lead to a loft with a ball attached to the right wall. Next to the ball stands a woman staring off into the distance except this time she’s looking at the course. I have a feeling that she is afraid to move forward and take that step into the next phase.

Phase #6: Category #59

I made this category accessible, because I feel like it is a necessary part of the process. It’s a cave with a man sitting down inside of it attached to the right wall. The man is sitting alone looking over the course, watching everyone else go on their journey.

128 238


This category is connected on the same platform as category #59. This time it’s more secluded in the corner. The human figure is alone and reflecting

Phase #7: Category #3

Stairs led from category #3 to a slanted wall hanging over a guy sitting in front of it. The human figure is looking at the wall falling towards him. Figure is full of sadness and regret sitting there underneath a falling wall.

Phase #8: Category #16

129 239


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #18

This category is connected to category 16 and an open area. The figure is staring at a singular column. I feel a connection between the human figure and the column as they are both standing still alone.

Phase #10: Category #21

Directly to the left of category 18 is category 21. The human figure is isolated inside the four columns feeling trapped. I can imagine him feeling claustrophobic and sad.

130 240


Down the ladder is category 26. This is a super simple category as long as you don’t get distracted. I’m feeling hopeful that the human figure is towards the end but also worried that he’ll get stuck since he’s so close.

Phase #11: Category #26

This is the last category. It has a nice staircase and ladder leading to the end where I flipped the three walls and made one of the walls a ceiling. This space feels safe being in the corner but also super lonely. Stairs lead down to the beginning again.

Phase #12: Category #33

131 241


Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

My intention for this pattern image was to make it into an inhabitable space as much as I could by using categories like inteior design, and modern design in the AI website.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned the effects of lights within spaces and the effects of scaled objects interacting within a space. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to draw abstractly and apply the creative way of drawing into sketches and work more efficiently in making plans. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to study art principles and elements and how to apply them to color relationships and forms of objects within an interior space. Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned how to interate in order to promote craftsmanship in my model making, and how the process of model making works. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned how to turn physical model spaces into AI generated images and how my intentions for the models are dispalyed in the generations. Overall - My section instructor Jinoh Park gave me a unique perspective in design principles and practices. Through diffreent mediums of representation like model making, image capturing, AI generation, and drawing I was alble to articulate my design intentions well and clearly.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #3

These photos show a figure next to a wall and through the phases of the pictures the wall is eventually from the side of the figure to directly in front of it. The figures’ feelings could have gone from feeling certainty and having freedom as open space is directly in front of it. Then the feeling of being restricted and hopeless when the wall eventually blocks the open space from the figure entirely.

Phase #2: Category #29

These images show a scene of a figure within two walls and five columns. The position of the two walls begin the scene as rigid and cold, but through the figure’s movement it ends up within an open circle of columns within an open space within the walls. The feelings from these scenes are feelings of content and triumph as the figure overcomes the obstacle of walls.

126 252


These photos show a figure placed facing a curved inside of a wall. The setting of the wall allows for the figure to be the main focal point. The feeling from these images is individuality and being happy with being an individual as the walls aren’t rigid and cutting to the figure’s position, but instead the curved wall embraces the figure.

Phase #3: Category #34

These images show the figure between two parallel curved walls. The setting of these walls allows for a path for the figure to follow. The feeling from these images are content and the figure can expect what its next move will be on the path.

Phase #4: Category #37

127 253


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #38

These images show the figure between two mirroring curved walls. The setting of the walls allows for the focal point to be on the figure while still adding complexity to the image with the curvature of the walls and path produced for the figure. The feelings from these scenes are joyful as the individual is focused solely and can move about freely.

Phase #6: Category #42

These images show the relation of two walls, curved and flat, and a column to a figure. The setting of the walls and column allow for there to be a path created for the figure while still keeping a small alignment to the column. The feeling from these images are acceptance as the column and the figure both take the same position within the wall’s path.

128 254


These images show the different placement of curved walls in relation to the figure. The setting of the walls in these images allow for the figure to follow an open path to free space, but still keeping the movement complex with the S shaped curve. The feeling from these images is empowering as the figure is in charge of their allowance of movement.

Phase #7: Category #44

These images show a void in front of a figure with light coming from beneath the void. The setting of the voids allow for the focal point to be entirely on the figure and it’s decision upon arriving at the void. This image feelings are those of embracement as the light is almost luring the figure down below.

Phase #8: Category #47

129 255


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #49

These images show two floating surfaces with two figures on each surface. The setting of these walls allow for one figure to always be above the other in reaching distance. The feeling from these images are limerence as one figure will always be reaching out to the other from their surface.

Phase #10: Category #53

These images show a floating surface alongside a curved wall with two figures within the images. The setting of the surface allows for one figure to always be reaching out to the other from the ground to up above. The feeling from these images are limerence again as that figure will be yearning for the figure on the surface.

130 256


These images show a hanging curved surface above the figure. The setting of the curved surface allows for a tunnel to be made around the figure. The feeling from this image is comforting and soothing as the tunnel has one open direction for the figure and allows for all kinds of movement within the tunnel.

Phase #11: Category #56

These images show a hanging curved surface above the figure as well as a concavity. The setting of the curved surface allows for a tunnel to be made around the figure while the concavity allows for complexity in the movement of the figure. The feeling from this image is comforting and soothing as the tunnel has one open direction for the figure.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how various types of walls, columns, and structures impact a space. I also learned how different strctures and lighting strategies can allow a space to display various emotions and styles. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Handdrawing has taught me to think creatively and develop ideas quickly without relying on digital tools. It has also improved my ability to visualize spatial relationships and communicate concepts clearly to others. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - In the Power of Patience project, I learned that taking the time to thoroughly engage with a design allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of its components. This patience reveals details and insights that might otherwise be missed, leading to more thoughtful and well-crafted design solutions. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The Space Cube project taught me to design each space with a clear purpose, always considering the user and how the space will impact them emotionally and functionally. Additionally, I was able to hone my craft in model making through the process of iteration, refining my skills with each version. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - In my first portfolio project, I used AI to enhance my images and bring them to life, giving me a clear vision of how my project could be displayed. This allowed me to see adjustments I would make to the projects I submitted, and I can see AI becoming an essential tool in my career as it continues to grow and integrate into our daily lives. Overall - I developed numerous technical skills through programs like Adobe and Rhino, and I also learned valuable lessons in assessing how different structures, lighting strategies, materials, and colors impact a space. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I would advise myself that even though your workload is heavy and your schedule is packed, it’s crucial to develop a thoughtful plan with clear objectives before diving into the final stages of any project

Phase #1: Category #44

My intention for this AI image created through the app”Fabrie” was to replicate the same area in my spcae cube. I had a few issues with the lighting through this program.

Phase #2: Category #25

The purpose of this creation through AI allowed me to maintain the original structure from my space cube, but I had some issues on making the lighting how I wanted.

126 264


My goal was to make the interior of the space neutral and light. By including a natural set of colors I was able to display a tranquil scene.

Phase #3: Category #29

When I originally chose the emotion joy for my space cube I wanted to make my model whimsical and calm. I think the AI image created a space that displays this purpose perfectly.

I wanted to maintain the orginal angle and structure from the space cube model, but I ran into a few issues making this image look as realistic as the other ones included.

Phase #10: Category #51

My intention for the creation of this image was to convey the emotion of joy by making the interior very white and bright. The program I used successfully replicated every detail my space cube model included.

130 268


My intention of this image through AI was to showcase the archway from my space cube model. Using Fabrie, I successfully made the structure but had a few problems making the man look realistic.

Phase #11: Category #34

Out of all my attempts using AI to generate images this was my least successful creation. At first, I tried to make these images bright and joyful but I had various issues making the human figures look realistic and appropriate. However, I believe that the added colors add a fun energy to this image.

Phase #12: Category #56

131 269


Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The way you organize elements within a space can make a big difference in how the space makes you feel. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Hand Drawing is a good way to connect with the outside or inside environment and notice details you had previously overlooked. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - It takes a while to notice small things, but consistently observing and analyzing can help you think about things in a way you haven’t thought of before. Project #4 “Space Cube” - Iteration and patience is key. Creating multiple models of ideas can help to create the best final outcome. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Though projects might seem hard while you’re working on them, the end result is usually worth it. Have patience and try your best. Overall - Going out of your comfort zone when it comes to ideation and designing can be scary, but very beneficial. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - Try to find a balance between being productive and getting things done, but also having good craftsmanship. Try to show who you are and what you feel through what you create.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #48

The first photograph shows an elevated square void. The human figure stands under the square void and is illuminated by the square shaped lighting coming through. The lighting draws attention to the figure, and creates a spotlight effect that can create a feeling of importance or happiness.

Phase #2: Category #57

The second photograph shows two curved walls with different heights at an intersection. The human figure stands in front of the intersection of the two curved walls. The different heights of the walls provide movement, which make the environment intriguing. The two curved walls sit at the back of the model, and the varying sizes add depth.

126 276


The third photograph shows a curved wall turned upside down to create an entryway. The human figure stands under the tunnel created by the curve. The entryway creates curiosity and excitement as the figure moves through it.

Phase #3: Category #59

The fourth photograph shows a blank space with a void at the top. The human figure stands under the void. The void is similar to a skylight, which makes the model uplifting by promoting openness and is on-theme with the idea of joy. The void is now covered by an elevated surface that is facing the top of the void, but the light can still come in.

Phase #4: Category #48

127 277


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #49

The fifth photograph shows an elevated surface. One human figure stands below the elevated surface, while another human figure stands on the elevated surface looking down. The positioning of the elevation allows the figures to interact on different levels, and is similar to a playground. The different heights of the elevated surfaces puts emphasis on the one figure that is standing on a higher level.

Phase #6: Category #54

The sixth photograph shows a square void with a curved object coming from the ceiling and meeting the ground. The human figure stands in front of the curved surface below the void. The combination of organic and straight shapes adds a whimsical element to the model. In this version of the model, I changed two voids to be separate, but still close to each other, allowing for the curved surface of each void to be more visible.

128 278


The seventh photograph shows a void with a curved surface in the shape of a connected to the void. The human gure stands directly under the curved surface. The shape creates a comfor ng feeling and allows the gure standing under it to feel secure. I connected this void with a bridge to the other void that has the curved surface mee ng the ground.

Phase #9: Category #25

The ninth photograph shows two straight walls with two columns parallel to the longer wall. The human figure stands in between the walls and the columns. The space provided by the walls is structured but open, and creates a feeling of harmony. I changed the position of the short wall and long wall from the previous model, so now the placement of the two are opposite of each other.

Phase #10: Category #35

The tenth photograph shows a single curved wall. The human figure stands in front of the edge of the curved wall. The curved wall creates movement and fluidity. In this model the curved wall is in the same area as the other curved wall, but they’re different sizes, allowing for additional movement and clear divided sections.

130 280


The eleventh photograph shows two curved walls with the same height and a small opening between the two walls. The human figure stands in front of the opening. The small opening allows for feelings of exploration and creates intrigue in the model. The two curved walls are in close proximity to the other curved walls on that level. The small opening allows for the figure to peek through and view what’s happening on the other side of the walls.

Phase #11: Category #38

The twelfth photograph shows two curved walls, almost parallel to each other. The human figure stands in between the opening provided by the parallel walls. The walls created a guided pathway for the figure and encourages exploration. The human figure can walk through the pathway provided by the walls to explore the rest of the space.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how to imagine myself in a room with walls and columns and how the position of those walls and columns would make me feel. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to draw by looking at what I’m drawing instead of looking at the paper I am drawing on. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned how to dipect meanings out of paintings. Project #4 “Space Cube” - I learned how to make a complex enviornment functionable. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned different software tools that will enhance my work. Overall - I learned the basic skills of interior architecture. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? These five weeks have been the biggest challenge I’ve encountered but it is so rewarding knowing that I am studying my dream career at my number one university. I feel so honored to be in a professional program at the University of Arkansas.

AI Generated Image

While drawing the view out my window, I saw flowers wilting, and others beginning to bloom. Flowers of all sizes and kinds filled the yard. My favorite flowers, lilies, lined the window. Bird feeders were placed in perfect view of the window and I noticed how welcoming this made our hard feel. As I studied the yard and land across the road, it was brought to my attention that everything looked full. Weeds aggressively took over the rich green grass, dead tree limbs spread throughout the treeline, and the ditches and pastures were way overgrown. The overgrowth made my drawing look chaotic and I felt like it was unmaintained. I could smell bacon and hashbrowns cooking in a cast iron skillet. I could hear bickering between my younger siblings. When looking through my window, I felt peaceful. I was calm, even though my household was far from calm. To me, that is what I call home. There is never a dull moment at my house.

This paper model has very warm colors. These shades have high intensity which makes parts of the paper model appear brighter than other parts. For example, the pink on the ground is still very intense but also darker. When next to the yellow on the roof, the yellow is also intense but brighter than the pink. This makes the paper model appear as if the light is shining down on the roof.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - What I learned after the wall column and space was that dependong on the palcement of the objects, it can affect the lighting. It also taght me scale and how to use an exacto knife, arch ruler, etc. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Power of patience taught me that the more you look at something the more you can understand it. Art has deeper meaning the more you try to observe and study it. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube taught me how to build structures and make pathways. I learned how to put together scenes and take photos. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - During this section I learned how to use InDesign and learned how to put together my portfolio. Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? What I would tell myself 5 weeks ago was to be prepared and make sure you have all of your supplies. I would tell her it will be hard, tedious, time consuming, and that moments will feel overwhelming but nothing you cannot handle! The time passes very fast so it doesn’t feel like you are there 8 plus hours a day. There will be late nights but the present self made sure to not go to the school on the weekends. You will learn so many new things that you didn’t before and won’t even reealize how much time has passed!

e

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience using AI. This was a fun and very creative experience. At first I was very confused on how exactly Ai could work with my designs, and I thought that the software would make my design worthless and feel artificial. After playing around with it I soon realized how much control we as humans can have over Ai and the power it creates just with a few clicks. I could really see how useful this would be in the creative process when trying to visualize an idea or a project. I have no previous experience or knowledge of Ai I but I could figure out pretty fast that using Ai is very hot or miss without guidance. The easiest part was to create a scene with color and vibrancy but the figures and structures were at times very ambiguous and awkward. After inputting some direction to Ai the images came out much more clear and guided. After today's assignments I’ve seen that using Ai is not just a tool for laziness but that it helps spark creativity. In today's world if we as humans neglect Ai it will soon become more powerful than us so that’s why we must open our minds and learn to use it for our benefit. Being close minded about new technology will not stop the development of Ai but will only make things worse.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - What I learned while doing the Wall, Colomn, and Space project was how to manage my time and patience. This assignment was repetitive and it felt like I was taking picture after picture and cutting constantly. I learned how to manage my time to where I wasn't staying super late to finish but I was also getting it done correctly and on time. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - What I learned from the hand drawing projects was how to draw in a one-point perspective and also a two-point perspective. I also learned what a blind contour is and that I need to practice drawing those more. What I learned the most about the project was during the outdoor sketches. These taught me to think further than drawing what I see and to try and capture what I hear and see while also the feeling of the landscape. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The main thing that I took from this project was patience, even though the purpose of this assignment was to learn patience. I learned how to look more in-depth at a painting and to see further than just how aesthetically pleasing it is. I now know what the design elements and principles are and how to look for them in different paintings and artworks. Project #4 “Space Cube” - What I learned from the space cube projects was how important iteration is. While doing this many different times even though it felt repetitive, it helped me create the best and most efficient model. Doing things over and over again may not feel like you are getting very far but in reality, it really helped me see the best view of what I wanted my outcome to look like in the final model. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - What I learned during this project was how to use AI. I had never used AI prior to this assignment so it was a new experience for me and overall just cool to learn. Even though it wasn't always easy or wasn't working correctly, it still allowed me to get a feel of how it works and what it can do to create different things. Overall - Overall, I learned time management, patience, and many different skills. First coming into this course I was nervous about the workload or how I would be able to accomplish everything during such a small time frame. While being here I figured out that while it was time-consuming and took a lot of effort it is more than doable. Focusing on my time management is what really helped me set a pace and feel like I was able to stay on track. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to you before these five weeks I would tell myself not to stress so much about how you're going to get all my work done and that yes, it is time-consuming but it was honestly quite fun and you meet great people.

Phase #1: Category #

The first room in the series displays a human figure standing in front of a blank wall. Since the wall is directly in front of the figure, he is unable to move forward. This room illustrates balance because it is symmetrically pleasing. Fear is also demonstrated because the figure cannot go anywhere and is stuck in his place.

Phase #2: Category #

The next room in the space cube is a human figure standing in front of a half wall. Much like the first room, this wall is also blocking his path and making him remain where he is, which might create fear. This room portrays that the proportion of the half wall is different compared to the remaining walls in the cube.

126 346


For the third category in the sequence, it shows a human figure standing in front of two walls at ninety-degrees. This category highlights balance as well because both walls are equal and create symmetry. This room develops fear because it does not allow the human figure to go right or left, making him feel trapped.

Phase #3: Category #

The fourth room is a photo of a human figure standing to the right of an angled wall. This might transform fear because the wall is not standing normally and gives the sense that it might fall over. Emphasis is used on the wall since it is the only slanted wall used in the space cube.

Phase #4: Category #

127 347


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #

The next room in the series shows a human figure standing in front of two curved walls. I chose this room because the curved walls are much bigger than the human figurewhich might make him feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable. The form of the curved walls also created fear since they are leading the human figure in a path right in between them.

Phase #6: Category #

For the sixth room in the sequence, the picture shows a human figure walking in between two curved walls. Since the walls are so close together, the view of the human figure is obstructed. I chose this category because the walls are so narrow that it makes the space feel tight and uncomfortable, which might create fear. This room demonstrates balance because the two curved walls are the same size and equally distanced apart from each other.

128 348


The next room in the space cube illustrates the human figure standing in front of two large, curved walls. Since the walls are bigger than the figure it also makes the room feel large, creating a sense of fear for being small. The vertical lines on the curved walls make them feel taller which makes the room feel bigger.

Phase #7: Category #

Continuing into the next room of this series, it shows the human figure walking in between a column and a curved wall. This room creates fear because the path between the column and wall feels like walking into a narrow tunnel, which makes me feelclaustrophobic. Adding the column into the sequence created a little contrast since only walls have been used in the space cube.

Phase #8: Category #

129 349


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #

The ninth room in this sequence displays a human figure standing in front of two sshaped walls. This created a sense of fear because the space is so small and tight while the walls are quite large. This room illustrates the different forms of the walls since they are shaped in an S-like way.

Phase #10: Category #

For the tenth category in the cube, it shows a human figure standing in front of a hole in the floor in the shape of a square. Due to a hole in the floor and his path, the human figure is stuck and has nowhere to move. This creates fear because the hole in the floor makes the room feel smaller and like the figure might fall through since there is no railing.

130 350


For the next category, it shows a human figure standing on a floating surface above the floor. The angle of the human can sometimes be obstructed since he is sitting on a floating surface. This creates fear because the figure is standing on the surface with nowhere to go and the chance he could fall off and become injured. This also puts emphasis on the human figure since he is the only figure sitting on the ledge.

Phase #11: Category #

For the final room in the sequence, it illustrates a human figure standing beneath a curved wall. The curved wall being directly above the human figure creates the feeling of being claustrophobic and in a narrow space. This form of a curved wall created fear because it is so close to the ground causing the human figure to be cautious.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

From the view of my window, I see a parking lot right in front of a grass patch. Behind the patch grass there is a wall separating the parking lot outside my window from another parking lot that connects to the building across the way. I hear cars driving around the parking lotand I smell freshly cut grass. What I noticed after drawing my window view was that there are many parking spots outside my window. I also noticed that there were many streetlamps lit up in the furthest parking lot from my window. What I see outside my window now is a bunch of apartment buildings and cars. I still hear a lot of cars driving around outside and it smells like a hot day. I feel like the view from my window is very dull and not a pretty sight. I think the view should be updated and have a more natural lookout.

The 2D color and patterns work with the 3D interior by making it seems as if you are in an actual room or building. The colors on the paper make the room more interesting and help define the spaces that are 3D because they aren’t just one big white space the blends in together. The colors and different patterns help illustrate where the room is split and the different walls are placed.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” From this project, I learned the importance of space that is created using different architectural elements. A single space can be turned into many when walls are added that create division. Specific direction can be applied with the use of columns and different heights and angles of walls. Overall, I learned that the position of objects is what makes a space unique and evokes certain feelings to a person. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” From this project, I learned the importance of perspective and how that perspective affects how a viewer perceives the information being communicated. I learned the significance of color and why it is important to know how colors react with each other. In design, specific colors are paired with each other to create a unique feeling. It is a form of communication between the designer and the viewer. Project #3 “Power of Patience” From this project, I learned patience is the most efficient way to grasp a full understanding of a piece of art. When viewing design at first glance, it is hard to truly understand the complexity within it. After applying yourself for sometimes hours at a time, it is then when you finally understand the artists intent behind the work or feel the emotions they felt while designing. After staring at my selected artwork for three hours, I had noticed and felt so much more towards the art than I had at first. Project #4 “Space Cube” From the project, I learned spatial awareness and how to incorporate many phases into a small space. Iteration was a common theme throughout this project since I had to repeat many process and create different versions of almost everything I made. I learned how to create a floor plan and why it is necessary to have different line weights to successfully communicate with other designers. I gained an understanding of craftsmanship and was able to visually see progression from the beginning to end. Project #5 “First Portfolio” From this project, I got to experience the complexities of AI. Taking my own creations and having the opportunity to generate a realistic image of them showed me how AI will benefit designers in the future. AI acts as a medium to help when you don’t have a complete vision for a space, but a general idea for how you want it to look. However, without aspects of human design and creativity, our buildings and spaces will lose their sense of intended emotion. Overall Throughout my five week journey, I have learned such a large amount of information when it comes to design. From color schemes to designing buildings with AI, design is everywhere. Not only have I learned beneficial design techniques, but I have also learned time management that allows me to develope my best quality of work within a small amount of time. I have developed a wide variety of skills that will stay with me for the rest of my career in design.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #39

The image depicts a man walking into the entrance of a space with interior lighting coming from the ceiling. To create this image, I included key words that describe characteristics from category 39 like “curved walls” and “interior lighting.”

Phase #2: Category #13

This image depicts a man standing under a slanting ceiling in a white room. When creating this image I wanted the feeling of confinement and small spaces to show through.

126 358


This image depicts a man passing under a short opening into a room with curved features. In order to get this image to match the inspiration, I directed AI to use curved walls in order to create a strange energy within the space.

Phase #3

This image depicts the interior of the same curved room from the previous category. I wanted this room to be brighter than previously shown so I directed AI to include light materials and introduce natural lighting from a window.

Phase #4: Category #37

127 359


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5

My intentions for this image was to create an ominous feeling. I wanted the abnormally large size of the stair case to be emphasized, so I introduced darker tones into the background to create contrast with the wooden stairs.

Phase #6: Category #59

Since the floating cylinder was hard to recreate, I wanted it to be represented as abstract art on the wall to continue its strange appearance. A light source was an important feature in this phase, so I made sure to include natural light beaming through the window onto the human.

128 360


This image depicts a man standing under a circular void with light shining upon him. The walls and floor are made of concrete to create a cold, lonely tone. Though it took a few tries to get AI to correctly generate this image, I feel the original phase is represented with high quality.

Phase #7: Category #47

This image depicts a man walking down a hallway with aligning columns that seem to create a straight forward path. The different positions of walls create an unnatural walkway that engages the viewer and helps to emphasize the uneveness of the space.

Phase #8: Category #27

129 361


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #48

This image depicts three columns that support a square, glass skylight above. The size of the skylight lets in a large amount of natural light in to give a feeling of being outdoors. With this image, I wanted the glass to be the main focus point to emphasize the natural lighting from above.

Phase #10: Category #46

This image depicts a room with many different walls and pathways to follow. I vertical wall is coming down from the opening above. When creating this image, I wanted the wall blocking the human to be the focal point because it seems to create two different spaces out of one.

130 362


This image is a representation of the top of my space cube. I wanted the interior lighting to be eyecatching as it contrast with the darkness outside. The large landscape and cloudy atmosphere gives the feeling of loneliness with relates to my chosen emotion of fear.

Phase #11: Category #12

This image depicts a circular pool of water inside an interior space. The contrast of hard and soft surfaces stands out within the room and creates a feeling of confusion. Being difficult to create with AI, I changed the wording to create a similar representation of this phase with intriguing lighting that lights up the interior.

Phase #12: Category #47

131 363


Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

My intention with creating this abstract drawing was to overall create a sense of depth. Since the original drawing is two dimensional, I directed AI to make each defined shape or shading, its own three dimensional object with unique surfaces. The different shades of pencil was represented in the generated image which creates a point of view and shadow. I took many attempts with creating this image to make it truly look like a inhabitable space.

132 364


Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

My intention with this image was to create the most accurate version of my window view.I generate many outcomes and decided this one closely represents the colors and shapes of the buildings across my room.

133 365


Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

My intention when creating this image was to get an accurate representation of the windows from the paper cut out. I felt that the window cut outs were the most importatnt aspect of the creation, so when generating an image, I wanted light to shine through and light up the interior.

134 366


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

My intention when creating this image was to design a large-scale landscape that consisted of many buildings inspired by each column and wall of the plaster model. To create unity and belonging within the landscape, the floor of the model represents the base and outdoor recreation of the landscape and the marble design creates a color scheme.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - Throughout the Wall, Column, Space section my understanding and knowledge of spatial awareness between different objects became much stronger. I was able to look at a human figure and notice different perceptions based on what was shown in the image. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - The Hand Drawing Process is one that took more quallity time as well as learning more benefical ways to achieve the look you may want. Rather than just looking at an object and attempting to sketch it, this process has helped me take a deeper look into complex images and create a better understanding. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The Power of Patience Project taught me it may be a longer process but in the end you see valuable stories, images, and charateristics you may have never uncovered. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The Space Cube project was by far the most intense project these past five weeks. Between every phase of the project we were able to explore the complexties gicing deeper into our creation. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Through the Portfolio section we were able to explore AI options using our own projects we had created making a more realistic design. Overall - Over these past five weeks the experience has been tough with many challanges and learning curves. I have learned more than I thought I would be capable in such a short amount of time but could not be more thanful for the oppurtunity to becomes more successful in my design career. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - The process is as rewarding as you make it, time is everything, quality matters, and be creative.

Phase #1: Category # 4

In the space cube the human figure approaches a standing wall which demonstrates a real vision of the human’s size to the wall. The wall appears to be getting larger as the human figure moves toward the wall. On my daily walk I began stepping closer to a small wall that just began getting larger and larger as I walked by, and I couldn’t see what might be around it.

Phase #2: Category # 6

In the space cube the human figure approaches an aligned wall still allowing the figure to walk straight while experiencing a blocked left view. As the figure moves up to the aligned wall blocking the side vision, the wall appears bigger and closer. I began walking in a straight line passing an aligned wall started to make me feel trapped between unable to tell what may be next.

126 370


In the space cube there is a floating horizontal surface above the human. The human figure can be seen as walking under the floating surface. As I began moving toward a wide surface, a floating ceiling began going over my head.

Phase #3: Category # 11

In the space cube the one column can be represented with the human figure observing from different point of view. The human can be seen close to the column looking as if it is walking towards the column. I began to feel less confident as the column began growing on me.

Phase #4: Category # 18

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category # 20

Within the space cube the human figure is walking through an assortment of the three columns. The human figure can be seen walking in a line with the columns on both sides of the figure. Walking beside the three columns It began feeling like I was in a maze, and I had to swerve around the columns unsure of where to go

Phase #6: Category # 23

In the space cube the human figure gets closer to one facing wall and two columns. With each step the human figure can be seen approaching the wall and column trapped between both. While exploring through some walls and columns I notice that the wall and the two columns make me squished in between unsure of where to go.

128 372


In the space cube the two walls and two columns there is a dark hallway with light at the end. The human figure can be seen to be the center of attention with light approaching. The lights began to switch allowing me to see certain elements at different times narrowing into the end of the walls I began to see the light.

Phase #7: Category # 25

In the space cube the two wall and two columns the lighting seems towards the end of the tunnel. The human figure begins walking past the columns entering a side hallway that looks dark. As I follow the path I am scared as I am forced to enter into a dark side hallway unable to see what it is down until I turn the corner.

Phase #8: Category # 26

129 373


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category # 34

In the space cube it shows the different curvature of a human figure placed in front of them. The human figure can be seen in front of different a curve. Placed next to a small curve with the light focused on me it made me feel very important and focused in on but also made me feel a bit nervous.

Phase #10: Category # 37

Two curved walls come together to create almost a spiral entering an open room with a human figure. The one human figure can be seen entering a dark hallway spiraling. While approaching the dark hallway it is very intimidating and as I turn the corner the room keeps turning.

130 374


In the space cube it can be seen with a column, wall, and square void. The human figure can look obstructed within the position placed with shadows obstructing the figure. Walking in the closed off room with columns I walk down the hallway with a void opening over my head shining a big light onto me.

Phase #11: Category # 46

In the space cube you can see a different yet unique angle of a figure looking up onto other floating surfaces. The figure can view the two surfaces above their head with stairs shown in the distance. While walking between the voids and large open room the space makes me feel free.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

Memory: Without looking at the window I have chosen I can remember it being loud at times. The view is blocked by an apartment building but off in the distance you can see the parking garage. Most movement I would see from that window would be our neighbors on there balcony across the way. Noticed: While drawing out my window I noticed that there was a lot more movement behind the apartment complex than I had originally anticipated. The building itself also had a different design than most which I had never realized. Final Observation: When looking out my window I am faced with another apartment building that holds a lot of memories of college students. I can hear groups of people talking, having a good time, cooking food, and socializing. On occasion I can smell the grilling of food that can overwhelm the room.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

Between each phase of the casting model of my space cube you can see many different outcomes and different emotional views. The plaster model uncolored gives almost a representation of a desert feeling space. Yet now that we chose to add the 2D colors to the 3D model the feeling becomes very different. I chose one of my color compositions that had two light and dark shades of blue and red. Within the model I chose to add contrast with the stairs and walls making the stair risers a darker blue and the tread a light pink giving a more in depth feel.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned the basics of walls, columns, and space. I realized that patience is key to achieving a good outcome. Understanding these elements takes time and effort, but the results are worth it. With patience, one can create more accurate and aesthetically pleasing designs. Walls define and enclose spaces, columns provide structural support, and space encompasses the layout and flow of areas within a structure. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I now understand the value of perspective in design, which gives designs more depth and real life. It is essential to understand spatial relationships and proportions. I’ve also studied color’s tone and value, which are described as intensity and lightness or darkness, respectively. These elements improve visual appeal and contrast, which makes designs appealing. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - In the arts, patience is a powerful tool. Artists can completely explore details and develop methods with its help. Understanding art requires time since it gives one the chance to observe, think about it, and learn. The creative process is richer and more fulfilling when one is patient and produces more deliberate, meaningful works. Project #4 “Space Cube” - I’ve learned a lot about scale and the value of sketching in order to communicate and represent design through hand drawing. I’ve gained the ability to precisely represent measurements and proportions via the process, which is essential for producing designs that are both accurate and useful. In the end, hand drawing has increased my admire for design as an art form and the accuracy needed to realize ideas. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - My approach to design has been expanded with the introduction of the Ai generation. This improved my ability to be able to see my photographs transformed into a realistic image and my drawings come to life. This not only helped me be able to personally visual my creations but to also communicate my work to peers and professors. Learning about ai technology was interesting and eye opening. It was an easy and entertaining experience. Because of ai, there will be much more opportunities to be able to transform and convert my design into real life. Overall - Overall, I learned more than I thought I was capable of coming into this course. Through these projects, I learned a great amount of design architecture. One of the best things I learned was how to get into a state of flow while working and creating my designs to provide my best work. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I’d like to let you know that things will work out smoothly. Although it may seem like a lot, you are capable of much more than you may realize. Even though you might occasionally lose your patience and feel like you’re not performing well enough, everything will ultimately be incredibly rewarding. And you’ll think you’re crazy when you say that you would do it all over again.

In my first sequence, it shows one column on a surface. This is on the ground floor of my space cube, along with the second and third category. The human figure is standing off to the side vertically, feeling very empty. I can clearly see where the light is causing shadow and how it changes the lighting on the human figure and column. The one column category provokes the sadness emotion very well due to its emptiness and plainness.

Phase #2: Category #31

In my second sequence, it shows an aligned wall with connected walll. The human figure does not have much room to move around the aligned walls if it wanted. There is not much room to be lively or see. This category fits with my emotion due to its closed off surfaces. This puts out a closed-off and suffocating feeling.

In my third sequence, it shows a human figure facing the connected edge of two walls right next to my second sequence. My human figure is standing on the outside of the surfaces. At this point in the walls, they are very narrow. I feel as if this category fits well with my emotion (sadness) due to the way it blocks the human figure. This is causing it to not have room to move forward, I feel as if this could be disappointing.

Phase #3: Category #32

Shown is my fourth sequence, it presents narrow facing walls. While my human figure is barely fitting comfortably in this narrow space, I feel as if it’s uncomfortable with not much room to move around. As the wall width is closed off, there is plenty of shadow.

Phase #4: Category #33

Phase #5: Category #34

In my fifth sequence, it shows a 16-foot curved wall with a human figure to the side of my fourth category, almost guiding the figure out to the next room. This is an outside photo, causing the lighting to be very dim and causing a dull mood. While the human figure is beside the very bold wall, the emotions put off sense of sadness due to the outside lighting. I feel as if this category fits well with my emotion (sadness) due to the lighting shadows.

Phase #6: Category #35

In my sixth sequence in the next room, it shows a 16-foot curved wall with a human figure standing outside of it. The human figure seems to be feeling left out due to the lighting being bright on the other side, while it stands in the darkness. I feel as if the lighting and the location of the human figure portray a sad and left-out emotion, which fits perfectly with my emotion (sadness).

126 384


Next, is my seventh sequence. It shows a human figure entering a space between parallel 16-foot curved walls right by the previous sequence. These parallel walls guide the human figure out to the next room which is up the stairs. The curved walls make the darkness even more noticeable. I feel like since the lighting is left behind the human figure, they are almost walking into the darkness, causing a dark and dull mood. Also, these walls are very tall, feeling bold and powerful.

Phase #7: Category #37

Introducing my eighth sequence, shows a human figure entering a space between 16-foot curved mirror walls. The human figure being outside of two walls feels very shut out. This category provokes the sadness emotion due to its location (outside) and the lighting it causes.

Phase #8: Category #39

127 385


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #47

Right next to my previous category, is my ninth sequence. It shows category 45 with a 3’ diameter void and a human figure standing on top of it. The human figure is looking down into the light. Feeling empty and helpless. The lighting is shining from the void, causing the standing location to be dark. I feel like this fits with my emotion due to the scenery almost seeming like the human figure is looking for the light, while it stands in the dark.

Phase #10: Category #53

My tenth sequence shows a curved surface with a floating surface. While the human figure stands on the floating surface, it is looking down onto the ground level. I feel as if this portrays a certain emotion, due to the placement and the floating surface overlooking the floor.

128 386


Right next to my previous category, is my eleventh sequence, it shows a human figure standing in front of a curved surface. Nothing other than the room feeling empty, causes my human figure to seem to have a disappointing feeling. This emptiness of surfaces fits well with my emotion.

Phase #11: Category #56

Lastly, is my twelfth sequence, showing a sphere with a strong center and centripetal force. While the sphere is very bold and large, it makes my human figure feel very little and unseen. I feel like the emotion fits with this category as the attention is very much on the large and eye grabbing sphere.

Phase #12: Category #58

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

From my window view out of my room I noticed a variety of things I have not yet before. First, I can see the side of a tall apartment building that is not connected to mine. There is some windows on the side and I can see the side of the balconies. There is a row of parking spots that seem empty as most students left for home. I can see the road, guiding out in and out of the complex that is going uphill. As well as the sidewalk, where there is a curb on the side. From my window view, I can hear the birds. I can hear the wind and breeze. I can hear loud cars passing through the parking lot. From my window view I can smell the bushes that are right below my window once I open it. n

Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

In order to make my 3D pop-up cards, I carefully chosen my best 2D shaving cream marbling paintings to cut out. I wanted every pop-up on each of my sheets to have a beautiful appearance. Essentially, I wanted to use the greatest 2D paintings so that the folds, cutouts, and walls could be easily identified when I converted it into a 3D model. The 3D model’s inside is made more visible by the marble texture. The external lights illuminating the interior. To better illustrate the model’s scale, my human figure is within. Numerous window openings can be found.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #

Paragraph The first image is from category 44, featuring curved walls and an S-curved wall. The S-curved path creates a sense of uncertainty for the human figure, prompting contemplation of where it leads. This space cube didn’t undergo any changes.

Phase #2: Category #

Paragraph The second image from Category 38 depicts an entrance between mirrored curved walls. The human character experiences confusion about which path to follow, adding to the feeling of perplexity. No changes were made to this space cube.

124 394


Paragraph Category 33’s image shows three interconnected walls creating a spacious area. The blocked wall in this expansive space evokes a hint of anger in the depicted individual. My only change was moving this category to the second floor and arranging the path accordingly.

Phase #3: Category #

Paragraph In the fourth image from category 24, two walls and two columns create various lighting effects. Progressing through the different wall phases, encountering seemingly out-of-place columns, evokes fear in the human character. My change here is to block the lighting due to the second floor above.

Phase #4: Category #

125 395


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #

Paragraph The fifth image in category 18 features a single column in a space devoid of other elements, causing the human character to manifest a state of confusion about its presence. No change was made, except for potentially adjusting the position of the human due to limited space.

Phase #6: Category #

Paragraph The sixth image from category 34 depicts a tall curved wall within an interior space, sparking intrigue and curiosity in the human character about the potential direction it might lead to. No changes were made to this space cube.

126 396


Paragraph Category 7’s image displays walls of varying heights, prompting the human character to try to look over the wall in search of an exit. No changes were made to this category, except that the wall height may have been adjusted.

Phase #7: Category #

Paragraph The eighth image portrays the space between floating surfaces, encouraging the human character to ascend the surface to explore what lies at the summit. A third ladder was added to reach the second floor, making my space cube more walkable.

Phase #8: Category #

127 397


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #

Paragraph The ninth image showcases an 8-high floating wall and a faced wall, prompting the human to assume the existence of another room beyond and pass under the wall. No changes were made to this category.

Phase #10: Category #

Image 10 features two walls and two columns under different lighting conditions. Observing the columns’ distance from the wall and the impact of light on shadows sparks intrigue in the viewer. The only changes you would see are lighting effects, with the lighting placed in a way that only the human shadow is visible.

128 398


Paragraph Belonging to category 21, the twelfth image presents four individual columns positioned at a considerable distance from one another, revealing ample space that may evoke apprehension in some viewers. Due to limited space, I swapped it with the last category.

Phase #11: Category #

Paragraph The eleventh image displays a void below with columns or walls around it, creating an unsettling feeling and instigating fear due to the hole leading back down. This category was swapped with another due to very limited space in my cube, and the circle hole was made smaller.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

Your Intention My intentions of transforming my hand drawing pattern into a realistic image was to make it look natural but with a pop of color. The natural lighting coming inside the room makes it look very soft and aesthetic. The pop of blue in the center makes it look even better, without color it would look like one material is only there.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

Your Intention My intention of turning my hand drawing window view into a realistic image was to make it look like a relaxing home area. The natural brown colors make it look warm and clean with very natural lighting. The pop of greens makes it look more alive and welcoming.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned that lighting and shadows can completely tranform a space. I also learned that surfaces are just a building block in a space. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned about my own capabilities as an artist. I found many ways to shade and create shadows. I also learned how different points of view can transform your view of a space. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - I learned that being patient will reveal rewards the longer you are patient. As we watched our assigned painting for hours, I began to see more than I could’ve even imagined. I saw technique, storytelling, ideation, and representation. Project #4 “Space Cube” - THe Space Cube project showed me that iteration and revisions will allow you to perform your best work. The craftsmanship and creativity will reveal itself along the way. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I learned that my craftsmanship is extremely important in showing my work. ANother important aspect of showing off your work is the photography. You work must have proper lighting and documentation in order to best present your work. Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to myself before these five weeks, I would tell myself that it is going to be the most intense five weeks you’ve ever experienced. However, the pride that you will carry yourself with after all of your hard work is a feeling like no other. You will be able to look back at your work and feel so much gradification because of the time and effort you have put in.

This image makes me feel like I am at the bottom of a lake or a pond. The dark colors that surround the figure make it feel eerie and spooky.

This scene is so futuristic and interesting. I had a good time looking at how the surfaces trandfered into the rendered image and how it created a space that was entirely different than my model.


This style of architecture was nice to see compared to the previous dark images that were rendered. I liked that the lighting form the model was transfered over to the rendered image.

Phase #3: Category #

This image highlights the curvatures of the mode so well in my opinion. I love seeing how my models could look in many different styles of architecture. This style adds a light and bright feeling to the space.

Phase #4: Category #

127 407


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #

This image was the best transfered image in my opinion. The shadows, lighting, and placement of surfaces was perfectly done. I really love that the figure is the focal point of this image as well.

Phase #6: Category #

I think that this image also transfered so well with the shadows and placement of the surfaces. I love that the vertical surface looks identical to the model that I put together. This image makes me feel liek there is an impossible task ahead and the figure is struggling to make it through the struggle.

128 408


I loved that the rendering added furnishings and decor to the space. It really transforms the space and allows the vertical and overhead surfaces to be less of the focal oint and more of the building blocks of the space.

Phase #7: Category #

I love that this image shows the angles that I photographed the model from. It really mkaes the space feel so dramatic and heavy, which adds to the overwhelming feel that I was trying to achieve when creating the model.

Phase #8: Category #

129 409


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #

The circular object that hangs form the ceiling is more like a shadow in this image, rather than a surface in and of itself. I like that the figure is the focal point in this image as well because it shows the emphasis and scale of the sphere.

Phase #10: Category #

This image is placed in a room, giving the space less of a lonely feeling. I like that there is shadowing in the background because it gives the space dimension and makes if feel more interesting.

130 410


The rendering adds background images and details which makes the space more interesting. It also adds depth to the image which is nice to see.

Phase #11: Category #

I find it interesting that the space contains a very short wall. I also like that furnishings are included in the image because it adds detail and interest to the drawing. It also makes it feel more uplifting and happy.

Phase #12: Category #

My intention with this piece was the create a pattern using a more geometric shape of the negative space in on of my photos. With the rendering, I tried to think of it as a unique photo wall.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

With the window drawing, it actually turned the outsid eof the houses into interior spaces which I thought was very cool. It interested me thta it created the opposite of what I wanted it to. However, I found it extrermely compelling.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

I found it interesting that the rendering of my shaving cream marbling was done in warm colors, rather than the cool colors that were inputted. I loved how the movement was evident. The rendering was quite intense compared to my original piece.

134 414


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

II love that the rendering took the shadows from my original photo and turned them into the composition of the piece. I also love that it was placed into a room, making it look more like a piece of furniture than a space in and of itself.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned how to take one point perspective pictures, the importance of using the correct materials and how forms affect space. This project also taught me how to cut foam correctly. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” -This project taught me how to draw in different views, hand-eye coordination, and how to have intention behind color. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This assignment opened my eyes to the beauty of art and art analysis. It taught me that everyone perceives things differently and we cannot always influence what others see. Overall, it taught me that patience is a powerful tool in starting the process to understand art and design. Project #4 “Space Cube” - From this project, I learned how to consider form and volume to maximize the space’s use. It also honed my cutting skills to the point where I can tell when to stop and what angle to position my knife to get the cleanest cut. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - This project taught me the importance of having well written and clear descriptions that accompany my work. I learned the importance of iteration and that it is okay to go back and fix previous designs to the point where I am proud of it. Overall - I learned many foundational concepts – such as how to draw in perspectives views, how to compose professional pin-ups, how to cut through foam cleanly and precisely, how color affects space, the importance of volume and form, and how powerful AI and other technological tools are, and will be, incorporated in design. I learned how to get in the zone and focus on the task at hand, how to manage my time, and how to ask for help when I do not fully understand a concept. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - It is ok to be creative and venture off into ideas and concepts that you have not done before. Do not play it safe. It might mean more work, but the end results will be worth it. You are going to go through some tough times mentaly and even physically; however, it looks like this is what you were supposed to do. You have made friendships, you pulled an all-nighter, and you have learned so many new things. You will get through this.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #1

Facing a surface. One photograph a sedentary wall facing a human head on. As the wall remains still, the view and path of the human figure is obstructed. As I look at the wall, my only option is to turn right and continue forward by following the wall until it ends.

Phase #2: Category #32

Facing the connected edge of two walls. One photograph illustrates how two walls connect forming a right angle. As the angle of the wall is ninety degrees, the human must make a sharp left turn to continue its path and not get obstructed. As I see the approaching corner, I am forced to make a left turn or else I will fall off the surface I stand on.

126 430


One wall and one column. One photograph illustrates a sedentary wall and a column positioned closely to the left wall. As the column stays put, it does not fully block the person’s view or path; however, it makes the human maneuver carefully around the column to get past it. As I approach this section of my path, I must walk in the constraints the column is making. It makes me irritated being constrained.

Phase #3: Category #22

Role of a column between curved and flat walls. One photograph illustrates how a column is in between a flat and curved wall. As the walls are positioned closely together, the column in between further encloses the space the human has to pass by. As I walk through the space between the walls and the column, I am displeased with the amount of space there is for me to walk through.

Phase #4: Category #42

127 431


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #31

Aligned wall with connected wall. Seventeen photographs illustrating two walls at an acute angle of ten degrees. The angle of the wall is small and condense with the human inside; there is only enough space to turn around. I approach a dead end as my path is fully blocked. I feel extremely claustrophobic and irritated that there is absolutely no space in here for a person to be in.

Phase #6: Category #44

Curved wall and s-curved wall. One photograph illustrates two curved walls in the shape of an “S”. Since the “S” shaped walls are long in length, the human must walk a great distance to get through. The heigh does not negatively or positively impact the human. As I walk through the “S” shaped curved walls, they are long and curvy making me dizzy and annoyed.

128 432


Floating and faced wall. One photograph illustrates a floating wall facing the human head on with minimum space underneath for passing by. As the floating wall stays in place, the wall blocks the human’s path, and they must go underneath to get by. When I am faced with the floating wall, it annoyingly blocks my path and the only way through is going under the wall. I hate this.

Phase #7: Category #8

Horizontal surfaces with different heights. One photograph illustrates how a platform has an opening with a floating surface above. As the floating surface is in the air, the space between the platform where the human stands and the floating surface is small. As I see a floating surface above me and a wide-open hole in front of me, I am hit with a sense of frustration as I must go through the opening to continue my path. I have to fall two stories to hit the ground again.

Phase #8: Category #12

129 433


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #45

1-point perspective pictures: void on the upside. One photograph illustrates a one-point perspective shot of a square void. As the light comes down through the squared shaped void, it directly impacts the size and shape of the light cast on the human. As I stand beneath the voids. I am enraged that I hurt myself falling two stories down a whole, as well as to the fact that I still must continue on this path.

Phase #10: Category #47

Void on the downside with columns or walls. One photograph illustrates a square void as the floor and ceiling, a wall slashing the two layers, and lighting coming down from the top. As the lighting comes through the opening top, it guides the human to climb the wall to continue their path. As I look up at the wall i am supposed to climb, I am filled with sense of great displeasure as I am already a crippled man forced to climb a wall after falling two stories. It is ridiculous.

130 434


Two walls and two columns with two lighting conditions_01: one photograph illustrating two sedentary walls perpendicular to each other, and two columns placed close by the vertical wall with lighting coming from an opening. As the light comes in from the left, the person is left slightly in the dark and they have a blocked path by the two columns and tight walking grounds. As I sense the light coming from my left, I am drawn to it thinking I might be at the end of this exertion. I am in the dark, which gives me an eerie feeling, and am starting to get extremely upset by these columns and tightly placed wall blocking my path.

Phase #11: Category #25

A sphere with a strong center and centripetal force. One photograph illustrates a sphere that is placed on the edge of the curved walls. As the spere stays in place, it takes up a good chunk of the room leaving limited space for the human to move in. As I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I come face to face with a sphere that has no meaning to it, other than occupying my space. It is so unnecessary that it makes me angry just thinking about it.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - During our first project, I learned a lot about how the environment we are in can affect your emotions. We were asked to create 59 categories of different environments and reflect on how that environment affects our emotion. I think the big take away I got from this project was to create a space that has some sort of emotion behind it because then you are creating a space with a purpose. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Our second project was hand drawing and I am not the best at drawing so I was a little nervous about how my final product would look. Over the last 5 weeks I think my craftsmanship grew a lot and I was slowly starting to learn the basics of how to draw. I still think there is a lot of room for improvement but I learned a lot and have confidence that my drawings will continue to get better with practice. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Power of Patients was our third project and I think this project really opened my eyes. Instead of thinking you know everything about the painting just from a first glance, I learned that you must spend time to get a deep understanding of why the artist painted what he did. I think I can relate this project to everyday life. Instead of judging someone or something by the cover, you must take time to learn the facts and not assume. Project #4 “Space Cube” - During our fourth project, I felt that there were many aspects that I learned throughout the whole process. I learned more about how a space can affect your emotion, I learned that failure is okay and you can keep trying until you are satisfied with the final product, and I also learned a lot about making sure we use the correct scale throughout our work. I think I grew a lot during this project and understood what we need to do as designers to represent our work. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Our fifth and final project was working with an AI image generator, during this process I learned many ways you can transform your image into a fantasy place. Through this process I learned new technology and what AI can do to my work with just a few clicks on my computer. I think the AI generator is another great way to represent your work. Overall - Overall, these past 5 weeks have had a lot of ups and downs. There was not a second of my day that I was thinking about the studio and what else I needed to complete. I figured out how to manage my time and learned how to work fast and efficiently. I made a lot of friends and felt that I became close with my instructors which helped me through the 5 weeks. I am extremely proud of myself that I completed everything to the best of my ability and can’t wait to look back on this portfolio in a couple of years and reminisce on where everything started. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to myself before the 5 weeks started, I would tell myself to try and stay calm and not overthink or stress. At times, there can be a lot of work but there is no reason to overthink and be negative. I also would want to tell myself not to complain as much as I did because that was not a good mindset, I need to keep a positive mindset and think about how cool my project will look at the end of the day. I would also want to say that you are a strong woman and you can do anything you put your mind to.

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space”

What I learned...

- With this being the introductory project of the semester - and also my first architectural project ever - it laid the foundation perfectly for what I would need to know moving forward. With limited supplies, I was able to create scenes in which you could visibly see and feel how elements impacted the overall mood of the scene/space. Stripping the elements to their barest state allowed me to fundamentally understand the characteristics and offerings of each of them. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Drawing in general has never come very intuitive to me, so I was unsure how I would perform in the more artistic aspects of this semester. However, the projects were structured in a way that allowed me to build off the basic skills I did know to create a dynamic and interesting outcome. Likewise, perfection was not the end goal - clarity and concept was - so the pressure of creating the best, most pristine piece of art faded away overtime. I really enjoyed this project because it took me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to continue striving to improve techniques, try new materials, and have fun with it. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - It was exactly what it sounds like, the power of patience. Looking back, this was one of my favorite days overall because I have never sat and admired a painting for such an extended amount of time before. After three hours, I had discovered two and half pages worth of new details within one 36” x 22” painting, which I had thought would be impossible beforehand. Since this project, I have found myself viewing every single piece of art or design I encounter with a new mindset of “why?“. Project #4 “Space Cube” - This project will forever have a special place in my heart - my first architectural models. Overall, it taught me the power of iteration. Every model I produced - from the original sequence model, to space cubes 1, 2, and 3 - I truly believed couldn’t get any better than the last one, but they did. Yes, in smaller and more subliminal ways each time, but in ways that impact the overall space much more than you even realize. In addition, drawing our first architectural plans of the space cube was so impactful in my process of bringing 3D to 2D because I had a physical object to model and look at from every angle to guide me along the way. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - For four weeks prior, everything I had created was done manually. So, switching to technology one, and then technology that essentially handles the design process for me, was quite a shift. I found it difficult to hand the reins over and let the machine do all the design decisions for me because I had been so particular up to this point. However, everything that I had been desiging for four weeks prior had the opportunity to come to life and become a real interior space. It was extremely eye opening in the fact that it created spaces that I would have never imagined and opened my mind to endless possibilities. Overall - Honestly, I doubted every single assignment that was given to us and the intention behind it, but they always proved important and critical to my design journey. Design school is unlike any other institution in the fact that they aren’t teaching you right versus wrong, they’re teaching you how to form your own mindset. To flip everything you know upside down and view it from a position of curiosity, not blind assumption. That’s what I gained overall this semester, literally a new view on life itself. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - You definitely didn’t know what you signed up for. This is going to be the most physically, mentally, emotionally, and spirtually draining five weeks of your life. You are going to question everything you know about both yourself and the world around you. You are going to question whether this is even right for you. BUT, you will walk away a completely different person. A more mature and intelligent adult, an intrigued student, and a respected designer. You will prove to yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. You will be truly proud of what you accomplished and what is to come. And by the end, you’ll know it was all worth it.

Phase #5: Category #50

The photograph illustrates the void between curve-linear surfaces. The void itself is the emphasis of this photo overall, it’s the dark against all the light. The opening, doorway, and stairs create many open spaces flooded with light and create forms and lines that drag your eye from place to place. The human figure sitting on the edge of the void evokes fear of heights, falling, or darkness.

Phase #6: Category #34

The photograph displays the inside of a curved wall at a height of 4’. The composition is simple and the values are similar but the curved shape continuing outside of the photo exaggerates the never-ending feeling of a circle, as if you’re unable to escape.

126 464


The photograph demonstrates a floating and faced wall blocking the view of the viewer. Linear forms and shapes extend from the foreground to the background and make a pattern of geometric shapes. However, the opening of the curves perfectly reveals the human figure and draws your eye in first. This photo emphasizes the maze narrative and continuous obstacle-navigating journey ahead.

Phase #7: Category #8

The photograph illustrates a square void of 4’ x 4’ sizing on the “ceiling” with overhead lighting. The viewport being square creates contrast in the depth of the scene and elongates the space surrounding the figure. Clean lines also aid in creating a geometric and modern photo overall.

Phase #8: Category #45

127 465


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #21

The photograph showcases the relationship between columns narrowly apart from each other. The close-knit column spacing from front to back teases the possibility of getting out, with no room to do so, evoking a sense of anxiety. Perfectly linear columns draw your eye in and voids of material draw your eye out.

Phase #10: Category #14

The photograph shows an inclined wall at (around) 120 degrees. Again, the wall gives the illusion of escaping but the incline is too steep to do so. The angled lines of the wall contrast with the rest of the vertical or horizontal forms present in the rest of the photo.

128 466


The photograph illustrates the outside of a 8’ curved wall. The sudden change in height, again, creates a towering effect over the human figure and makes the space feel more dramatic. The curved wall against the surrounding linear walls make it stand out and help to balance the square void “ceiling” on the opposite side.

Phase #11: Category #35

The photograph displays a curved vertical surface. The light from overhead shining down in the void onto the curved surface creates a contrast with the darkness of the rest of the first floor. With this being the last category, it doesn’t seem to be the ending. The doorway invites the human figure to try again, to continue in the cycle of the maze of fearful and uncomfortable feelings.

Phase #12: Category #52

129 467


Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

I wanted to test out how natural elements would play with the angular and linear structures in the original drawing.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

Here, I wanted to draw the same overall mood, but add an interior space to set the scene for the landscape.

131 469


Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

With marbling, I wanted to pull out the color patterns without drawing too much on the original look itself - essentially, make it more mature looking.

132 470


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

With this marbling, I decided to use the texture and pattern the marbling presents to inspire new materials that were unlike the original.

133 471


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube My Work with AI Technology Coming into this project, I had seen some previous work done inspired by AI generation technologies. Essentially, they did the reverse of what we did and instead gave AI a prompt and made a design based on its creation. So, I really had no idea what to expect coming into today. Generally, I had a little difficulty navigating the software itself at the beginning of my AI creations, it was not as intuitive as I imagined AI would be. In fact, it was quite specific in some regards (such as rendering quality) and loose in others (such as material type). I also struggled to let loose and let AI drive the design decisions, more so than I thought I would. You could control the textures and colors only to a certain degree before just handing the design reins over to the machine. In that regard, however, it also made the entire process much more impactful overall because it made choices that I would have never dreamed of honestly and therefore expanded my design palette to dream of the impossible. Applying what I know now about design principles, elements, and intuition, this whole process was magnified in a way that I’ve never experienced before. Having spent the past month focusing on looking deeper into the “why” of art and design, I’ve found myself applying those techniques to every single thing I can. AI generation was no different. The knowledge allowed me to look past the surface elements and into what the scene was conveying and how the materials, colors, forms, lighting, etc. impacted the overall mood. From there, I could adjust accordingly and produce a vision of what the simple can evolve to through iteration. The easiest parts to use were on the technological side, the hardest was producing an image that you were looking for and/or imagining. Again, AI has a special skill set in the fact that it can open doors and extend what you were looking for into something totally new and unexpected. So, altering my mindset to fit that ideology was the most difficult, particularly after we had been micromanaging every single detail we could for the past month. Overall, this exercise expanded my preconceived limitations on what one single design could become. The options are truly endless in the land of design and I need to remember that more often.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” Project #2 “Hand Drawing” Project #3 “Power of Patience” Project #4 “Space Cube” Project #5 “First Portfolio” Overall If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? -

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #37

The curved wall of the first sequence has been widened in order to use more of the space available. Details such as boarded windows in the walls and cobwebs have been added to increase the fear factor. Spikes around the base of the building represent a sharp and pointy fence, and two slabs next to the structure represent tombstones.The goal of the exterior appearance is to evoke fear in the human figure and deter them from wanting to enter this abandoned structure.

Phase #2: Category #34

The second sequence had little overall change, but the size of the space has expanded. Instead of the staircase being on the same path as the entrance, it has been moved to a different wall. This allows the human figure to walk around the space before deciding to move up to the next level.

126 476


The stairs of the third sequence have been altered to better fit the emotion of the space cube. In the second draft model, the stairs were connected to the wall. The new stairs are freestanding platforms away from the wall, and they are jaggedy and do not follow a pattern. The steps also get very narrow as you reach the next level.

Phase #3: Category #44

In the fourth sequence, the human figure is walking along the edge of the model. The void in the ground with the facing wall now has spikes on the side to evoke fear. This sequence resembles a construction site, and the human figure must try to not fall into the void on either side. Based on all of my models, this sequence flows best in the placement in the final space cube model.

Phase #4: Category #47

127 477


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #27

In the fifth sequence, the entire surface that the walls and columns are resting on has been slanted. The purpose of the jagged walls and columns is still to block the human figure’s sight, but to also serve as an entrance. The main difference between this sequence and previous models is that the ground is now slanted. This new design choice makes it more difficult for the human figure to navigate the sequence.

Phase #6: Category #54

In the sixth sequence, there is a wall with a curved vertical surface that is falling through the void. The structure is the largest in this model of any of the others, which evokes fear the best. The other difference in this sequence from other models is that the floor is now slanted.

128 478


In the seventh sequence, the floating wall at the human figure’s eye level has been relocated. It is already uncomfortable for the human figure to be walking on a downslope, but now they have to crouch in order to get by the floating wall that is in the way.

Phase #7: Category #8

In the eighth sequence, there is a pointed surface that hangs off of the model at the lowest point of the slanted surface. This is very similar to the second draft of the space cube model, but the slanted floor adds to the sequence by making the drop-off positioned on the lowest point. The steepness may also make the human figure cautious to not slip off.

Phase #8: Category #53

129 479


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #56

In the ninth sequence, the hanging curved surface has been moved over the downward staircase. Similarly to the other models, this surface is confusing and may appear that the ceiling is caving in.The stairs below are extremely jagged, and the human figure must be very cautious while walking down them because they are steep and are composed of different shapes.

Phase #10: Category #57

In the tenth sequence, the tunnel has been elongated to give the human figure a longer pathway underneath the surface to walk. The curved wall positioned behind the tunnel blocks the human figure from knowing what is at the end of the tunnel. The main difference between this sequence in both the draft and the final is the length of the tunnel.

130 480


In the eleventh sequence, not much changed from the second draft to the final draft. More details have been added over the bridge to portray a sense of confusion, and the unknown. The original sequence model had spheres coming from the walls, but in the final space cube model, there are pointy shapes on the walls. I feel as though these ridgid features fit the overall design of my model better.

Phase #11: Category #59

In the final sequence, the mirrored, curved walls represent the exit. This mimics the entrance of the space cube sequence, except the scale of the walls has been brought down. The goal of these walls is for the human figure to be able to see a clear ending and to feel safe. The space between the two curved walls represents a light at the end of the tunnel.w

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

For this project, I am using the window of my childhood bedroom. I traveled home to Tulsa, OK, this weekend for Father’s Day and decided it would have more sentimental value if I chose this window for my drawing. Based on my memory, the window in my bedroom sounds like a lawnmower on a Saturday morning. The sound my window makes is peaceful because it reminds me of a summer morning spent with my family. On the other hand, it can also sound like a stormy night, with flashes of lightning peeking through the curtains, where I would cover my body with a blanket to protect myself. Looking at this window also causes me to smell paint, representing each time that I have grown out of my bedroom and had to repaint the walls. Just as I have grown up, so has my window view. The baby tree in my front yard is no longer small, it is now towering over my house. The tree that grew up with me now is all I can see when

Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

I used the shaving cream marbling method to add color to my plaster casting model. I chose to use a wide variety of colors from my color compositions in order to create a pattern that had a lot of variety. After coloring the outside, I painted the inside of the tunnel and the floors with a dark gray. The use of dark colors made my model feel smaller on the inside, but the outside was more eye-catching. The purples stand out and are brighter than intended, but the chaotic pattern of the outside balances it out. Overall, the addition of color added a mood and personality to my casting model. Once put through AI, I was able to see my model come to life.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” I learned how to recreate and assemble mulitple interior scenes that portrayed unique architectural elements. With the use of light depiction, curved angles, and structural height, these created movement through the use of images. This project created the basis for our future space cube. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” I learned the importance of line thickness, stroke and attention to line detail. With the illustration of drawing, I understood how important of an element line can portray in my pieces. Hand drawing is an expressive portrayel without the use of physical objects. Project #3 “Power of Patience” I learned through the power of patience that it takes time and dedication to understand a work of art. Art has underlying meaning and emotion through the artist’s impression. The long process of visualization connections underlying cues that are hidden at first glance surface. Project #4 “Space Cube” I learned how to estblish my ideas through the use of volume and space. By working with physical models, I had to overcome the struggles of construction assembly and explore the three-dimensional principles that illustrate the model. By working through a process of recreating models, I understood the precision it takes to develop a final outcome. Project #5 “First Portfolio” I learned that technological advancments and programs can bring my artwork to life and a new scenery. Working with AI allowed me to embellish a new emotion and story from the base creation I made. It opened my eyes to a new world and design presentation. Overall I truly have enjoyed my first Interior Architecture and Design semester. It came with lots of succesion and struggles. However, I learned throughout the way that desing works in flexible ways. My instructors helped guide my way and pushed my boundaries in a positive way. Learning through mulitple projects with hands on assignments or technology infused, overall I embraced many old and new talents. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? I would tell myself that it’s not as stressful as it may seem. It may be overwhelming in the beginning few weeks, but friends are what made it better. I couldn’t have continued this process if it weren’t for the connections I made. The students around me are doing the same projects that I’m doing. Having that support and resource helped me in many ways. I could rely on them if I had questions, or they’d for my opinion for their work and so forth. I would also tell myself that the dedication is worth it. The amount of time spent on so many projects turned out well in the long run. I’m proud of the work I developed and rushing to get it done was not the path I took. I truly enjoyed this semester and I’m going to remember my first design semeseter to be a good one.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #3

In the first phase, this image illustrates a blocking wall, creating a visual of conception of movement across the wall. From my chosen photo, the blocking wall takes over most of the space. The wall directs the human figure’s position to head and face toward the end of it. I feel anxious and nervous to follow this eerie path. Fear rises within me, and I continue to move forward.

Phase #2: Category #25

In the second phase, this image illustrates two walls and two columns with two lighting conditions. From my chosen photo, this illustrates the evaluation of light sources, creating new shapes from the same perspective. The lighting from behind the walls create long shadows on the human figure and depicts its source. After I walked down this line of wall, I came across this light that appeared from a room. I’m oddly curious as to where it leads to, but I feel anxious not knowing what’s behind this light.

126 494


In the third phase, this image illustrates an aligned wall with a connected wall. From my chosen photo, the walls are connected at a point in the left-hand corner. The wall does not obstruct any light on the human figure but directs its attention to the corner itself. Coming across an intersection of wall, I’m confused by these empty walls I’ve come across. However, I have an underlying

Phase #3: Category #30

feeling that something still awaits me.

In the fourth phase, this image illustrates curved walls and flat walls. From my chosen photo, the walls create rounded out rooms and edges within the space. The element of line creates a new form of shape for the human figure to stand in. I walk down the straight wall when I come across a rounded wall. I get

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #37

In the fifth phase, this image illustrates entering a space between parallel curved walls. From my chosen photo, the overall structure of the rounded walls depicts the shadows coming from the light source. These walls surround the human figure and create a darker scenery due to the position. As I stand in this dark and scary spot, more light leads ahead of me. However, I’m cautious and uncomfortable to keep pushing forward.

Phase #6: Category #53

128 496

In the sixth phase, this image illustrates curved vertical surface with an upper floor. From my chosen photo, the use of vertical dimension adds height to the overall perspective. The human figure is depicted by being lifted higher off the ground. I have found myself stuff at the top of a terrifying ledge. The only way is down, and my fear level is too much for me to comprehend.


In the seventh phase, this image illustrates an inclined ramp facing the wall. From my chosen photo, the ramp is angled up, affecting the light and vertical aspect. The ramp leads from the human figure’s feet, centering the ramp off the human’s standpoint. After going down the ramp, I feel my heartbeat racing

Phase #7: Category #17

from the fear, but the adrenaline is slowing down.

In the eigth phase, this image illustrates entering a space between curved mirror walls. From my chosen photo, it creates a symmetrical view of the space with light protruding between the walls. The light depicts the human figure’s shadow because it stands in the center of where the light is coming from. I walk through this shadowed corned, and I am anxious for what’s to come.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #43

In the ninth phase, this image illustrates curved connection. From my chosen photo, the use of angles of a connected wall adds depth and lines to the room itself. The curve of the wall makes the space look longer, and the open area is expanded for the human figure. After being fearful from everything that has occurred, I am cautious of my surroundings.

Phase #10: Category #6

In the tenth phase, this image illustrates the passing of an aligned wall. From my chosen photo, the aligned wall creates visual depth for how deep the space expands. The light source is depicted and blocked from the human figure because of the aligned wall. I feel calmer as I continue my track forward, still nervous with every step.

130 498


In the eleventh phase, this image illustrates a void in the upside with combinations of columns or walls. From my chosen photo, the ceiling creates shape with the light as it is depicted because of the cutout void. The walls create a illustration of an enclosed hallway that human figure is following. I’m met with light shining upon me, calming me down completely as I take my last turn.

Phase #11: Category #48

In the twelfth illustrated 1 point perspective pictures: void on the upside. From my chosen photo, the element of shape and light create images in space that are obstructed by the objects. The light source is depicted into a shape that perfectly shines down upon where the human figure stands. I make it to the end of my journey and I’m met with comforting light from the void above me.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

Within the nature outside the window, it makes me feel calm and at peace. The green of the grass spreads far across my view. It’s flat and wide enough for people to sit on and enjoy the sun. Including the trees in the distance, they all differ in size and shape. It adds an abstract mixture of nature. The window smells of fresh cut grass in the morning and chirping birds. This view is from a very high altitude on a hill, and captures a cascading view of the scenery. However, the parking lot that crosses my window takes away from the ethereal feeling. The man made parking lot takes away the formal aspect of the nature surrounding it.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

In the seventh pop-up card, the color composition consists of red, blue, purple, and gray. The marble pattern is swirled and mixed throughout the space. The color isn’t kept in one area and has a consistent blend. The cutout design of the card consists of a giant rounded opening in the top space. It also had a cross structure and multiple window cutouts. The light source is depicted very greatly in this pop-up card because of the design. The 2D colors and patterns work in the 3D interior space because it illustrates the vision well. The window cutouts depict the shadows inside the space and the colors of the pattern create a bright tone interior.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

The color composition consisted of black, gray, red, and navy blue. These colors emphasized the emotion of fear and created a dark set of tone and feeling. The colors embarked and created a new space from the same obstructures. The 2D colors and patterns work in the 3D interior space because it demonstrates the emotion of fear through the painted colors. My intention for this piece was to keep a dark mood within my color composition used on the model.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned to do everything, even the small details, with intention. Taking over 300 pictures of foam board structures felt super repetitive at the time, but looking back, it set me up for success to create my space cube. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I learned how to draw different types of floor plans, draw from different perspectives, and how to use different mediums such as charcoal. I haven’t always been the best at drawing, but these small project taught me that not every drawing I make has to be perfect. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This project taught me (ironically enough) patience. I never thought I would go to a museum and stare at one painting for three hours. However, I noticed so many things I never would’ve had I not done this exercise. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube taught me how to perfect my craft, how to feel a specifc emotion by looking at a simple picture, and how to make a space flow. I learned the importance of iteration in the modeling process. Had we not been required to make three versions of our space cube I would not have gotten as good of a result as I did. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Making this portfolio has been a full circle moment. Seeing everything I was able to accomplish in these short 5 weeks is amazing. I learned that hard work pays off and I’m so proud of myself! Overall - I’ve learned to more than I could have imagined in these short five weeks. I now know that sometime to you have to sacrafice perfection in order to acheive completion. With this, I have grown excellent time management skills. Most importantly I have learned more about myself and who I am as a person. I have learned how to deal with pressure, hard deadlines, and taking critiques and I tried my best to do it with grace. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could talk to myself before these five week I would tell myself these things: - Put yourself out there and make friends! - Everything is cumulitive, so always give 100% effort - It’s okay to take a break every once and a while. - Don’t be afraid to get to know your instructors. They are there to help you succeed!

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The first project played with different objects and how they interact in a space. This project helped me understand how a space can evoke emotion and what elements of that space evoke it. “Wall, Column, and Space” was the first project of the semester which helped build the fundamental skills used for the rest of the semester. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - I have never considered myself to be a good drawer, however this project challenged my abilities and I surprised myself. One of my favorite things from this entire semester is my 2-point perspective value drawing of my final space cube. I struggled to get started, but one I understood the project, I was able to use my talent and basic understanding of value to create a drawing I am extremely proud of. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - When we were assigned the task of sitting infront of a painting for three hours, I didn’t think it was possible. However, the task was achievable, but that doesn’t mean I loved it. I don’t feel that I noticed more details about the painting as time went on. Instead, I noticed many things, and then a new detail would present itself rarely after about two hours. I consider myself a patient person, but my patience was definately tested with this task. While I was observing, I was shockingly surprised by how quickly time was passing. And I am incredibly grateful for that. Project #4 “Space Cube” - My technique, quality, craftsmanship, and ideas developed greatly during the space cube project. Starting off, the building process was taking me a long time. But, by the end of it I could build a whole space cube with craftsmanship in a short amount of time. I was unsure if my models would change that much during the iteration process, however, in the moment I had no trouble finding errors to fix or new ideas. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - I greatly enjoyed experimenting with AI. I found it very interesting to play with different settings and writings to result in different renderings. For the most part, my images and sketches came through legibly in the AI generations. There was one image that blew me away. My window sketch was redered perfectly. AI didn’t miss a single detail. The windows of the house reflecting light, siding of the house, deck, hot tub, and the woods in the background were all crystal clear in the rendering. This shocked me because in previous images, some parts were messed up or forgotten in the renderings, but in the window generation, every detail was included. The AI added its own personality to the piece by adding small details around the window. This was interesting to me because many reviews about AI art say they lack the human feeling and this generation defiinately showed off its personality. Overall - Overall, I am proud of the challenges I have overcome, the projects I made, the time I put in, and the dedication I had in this course. The summer semester is brutal to say the least. There were numerous frustrations during this course, but there is no denying that I slayed every day this semester. I can’t express how proud I am of myself for getting through it. After completed these summer courses, no other college course will ever compare. I can’t wait the finish the next five weeks so I can say, “I made it!” If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - Girl, you think you know what this is about to be like, but you have no idea. You will never be able to describe to others how this course is unless they were in the studio with you every day. You are so much stronger than you think. You will be faced with challenges you’ve never faced before. But keep on going. You are capable of so much. If you learn nothing from the next five weeks, just know that God created you in his image, and what a blessing that is. He will give your strength and determination. He guided me through the whole semester, so remain close to him. I love you. Now go get it girl!

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - The “Wall, Column, and Space” project taught me numerous valuable lessons. One of the most significant takeaways was the importance in any kind of work. As I worked with walls and columns, I observed how they can influence a space. It was interesting to see how a simple shift of a wall or the addition of a column could transform the entire space. This experience showed me that space plays a crucial role in design and the functionality of a given area. I gained an appreciation for how space affects a design and usability. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” -The “Hand Drawing” projects revealed the essential role that drawing plays in the design field. Through these projects, I discovered that sketching and drawing serve a crucial role in helping visualize and communicate ideas. Each drawing allows you to translate your thoughts into a way that others can see and understand. I had a significant improvement in my sketching skills. From the first sketch we worked on, I learned how to effectively apply my ideas to paper. This progression deepended my understanding and appreciation for the art of sketching. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - The “Power of Patience” project illustrated the true significance of patience and time. Over the course of this project, we dedicated three hours to carefully evaluating a single painting, discovering new elements with each observation. This excercise taught me that initial impressions often miss hidden details. In the design field, this lesson is crucial. Thorough evaluation and patience are essential for appreciating and comprehending these details, leading to more effective designs. This project taught me the value of taking the time to engage and analyze a space. Project #4 “Space Cube” -The “Space Cube” project was important in teaching me how to scale down a large model into a more manageable size. Through this project, I gained experience in creating floor plans, sections, elevations, and axonometric drawings. These skills are important in the design field, and learning them has given me a deeper understanding of how to represent complex spaces in a clear way. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The “First Portfolio” project taught me the crucial skill of displaying my work and assignments in a professional manner. This project provided valuable insights in how to present my accomplishments and highlight the importance of a well organzied portfolio in the professional field. The process of putting together this portfolio has given me an idea of what creating presentations of work will look like in the future. Overall -Overall, these first five weeks of design school have been amazing and have provided me with many valuable lessons. I have gained a deep understanding of the importance of space in design, recognizing how the arrangement of walls and columns can transform an environment. Through hands-on projects, I have improved my sketching skills, learning to convey ideas visually and appreciate drawing. I have learned the necessity of taking time to truly understand and evaluate designs, reavealing hidden details that are often overlooked. I also learned the significance of scale through the “Space Cube” project, mastering the creation of floor plans, section, elevations, and axonometric drawings. Creating a portfolio, taught me how to effectively organize and present my work. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - If I could speak to myself before starting these first five weeks, I would acknowledge the challenges ahead but emphasize their significance. I would explain that these initial weeks have been incredibly educational, teaching me crucial skills such as spatial awareness, sketching, patience, presentation, scaling, and visual communication. I would assume mysel that despite the hard work, the effort is very rewarding. The sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming difficulties makes it all worth it.

Phase #1: Category #28

Category twenty-eights overall concept was the gradual movement of the human figure alters its view of space. There were many columns that obstructed the figures path that made it difficult to navigate through. I feel intimidated moving through space, because of this. This category begins my sequence through the space cube model. I chose to be placed on the very left. This category reminds me of the principle, repetition, as the columns repeat themselves through the space. This is a great starting point for the space cube because it is mildly fearful and begins the design greatly.

Phase #2: Category #12

Category twelve displays the decrease in height of a floating horizontal surface that finishes through the floor. As the surface lowers, the obstruction becomes closer to the human figure, becoming more fearful. I felt that the movement of the floating wall made me feel anxious, as space is constantly changing environment creating a sense of uncertainty. I believe that this structure is emphasized as it is placed. It is in a cube shape up a ladder where your eye is directly drawn to.

126 530


Category fifty-three shows the change of space as the human figure moves into different areas of the space cube. As the curve arch is placed over the human figure, the figures perspective of the room shifts. This makes the space feel small, dark, and intimidating. I placed this directly to the right of the cube connected by a bridge the figure must walk over to reach. The shape incorporated in this category really makes the space for this area.

Phase #3: Category #53

Category thirty-four shows the human figures perspective as the curved wall surrounding it increases in height and width. As the wall grows, the human figure’s view of the room changes. The curves bring mixed feelings, making me feel unsure of the space, sometimes making me feel tight and claustrophobic. In this category, I used stairs to lead the figure down to space directly in front of the large arch. The scale of this arch is large making the space continue feeling intimidating as the figure moves through the sequence.

Category sixteen shows gradual incline of the inclined surface until the surface reaches 90 degrees. The wall feels scary when the wall is placed directly in front of my head. This causes a concern, I placed this directly to the right of the previous category, creating a dead end so that the figure is required to move up the ladder next to it. This space creates another perspective on emphasis as the human figure reaches the dead end and they aren’t sure where to go. Category forty-four illustrates how the space changes with an 8-foot wall versus a 16-foot curved wall. As the wall size and lighting changes, the space around the figure changes. The space already feels tight and enclosed, but when lighting is projected from outside the wall, it darkens the space, creating an eerie atmosphere. I place this space at the very top of the ladder on the second floor. I did this because I wanted there to be emphasis on this space on the top floor where its curves and tall walls are different from the other categories.

Phase #6: Category #44

Category forty four llustrates the human figure navigating through two 16ft walls. As the human figure proceeds forward, it must swerve the obstructions to make its way through. This makes me feel alarmed, as I need to stay aware of my surroundings whenever I move through space. This space is placed directly to the left of the previous category to continue the movement through the sequence. This gives another representation of repetition as the columns are repeated multiple times throughout the category.

Category twenty-nine illustrates the human figure navigating through many columns that are placed between two walls. As the human figure proceeds forward, it must swerve the obstructions to make its way through. This makes me feel alarmed, as I need to stay aware of my surroundings whenever I move through space. This space is placed directly to the left of the previous category to continue the movement through the sequence. This gives another representation of repetition as the columns are repeated multiple times throughout the category.

Phase #7: Category #29

Category fifty-nine demonstrates how using twisted and free surfaces may impact space in comparison to the human figure. As the curve shifts in many ways, the human figure’s space and perspective changes depending on the curvature. I feel that these interesting environments can be intimidating at times because of the weird ways these curves are placed. This category is placed directly after the previous category, being in sight of the figures vision as it moves through the space. The shape of this space is very interesting and creates the entire category.

Phase #8: Category #59

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #58

Category fifty-eight illustrates the use of the sphere and centripetal force and how it affects space in relation to the human figure. When the circular void is introduced, the human figures obstruction and view changes. I feel that this creates some anxiety in space. This category is placed directly after the previous one creating a sense of unity in our space.

Phase #10: Category #46

Category forty-six illustrates the use of a square shaped void and two columns placed to the left of the human figure. As the human figure moves through space, its perspective changes. I feel that as I move through this area, the dark lighting creates an eerie feeling. The columns create more repetition as it is repeated multiple times throughout the sequence. This category moves to the left of the next one, creating the last stretch of categories in the sequence.

130 534


Category fifty-four showcases different views of a space with a curved vertical surface and a void. As the vertical curve is placed through the void, the human figure’s obstruction changes. This creates a sense of discomfort, whether I am above or below the void. The curvature extending upward and downward feels intimidating, especially when positioned directly in front of it. This category is placed directly after the previous one right in the corner of the left side of the space. This category helps create more unity as it flows right into the last category.

Phase #11: Category #54

Category five shows the gradual movement of the wall as it moves from left to right, splitting the human figure. Once the wall stops directly in front of the human figure, it obstructs the room view, giving the space two distinct perspectives. I would enjoy space better if I had a view of the large space, but the wall aligns directly in front of me, creating a sense of discomfort. This is to the left of the last category because I feel that it is a good ending point to the sequence. This creates a sense of balance of the entire sequence.

Phase #12: Category #5

Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

Next, I moved into my pattern drawing. This was an interesting and fun one to make because from the beginning, I stated that my pattern looked as if it was a loaf of bread. When moving into AI, I wanted to take this statement a step further and, in the description, I told it to make the drawing look like real bread. This created my vision and the space I had originally seen to real life which was fun and interesting to watch happen.

132 536


Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

As I looked out my window, I was able to feel all three of these senses. First, I immediately noticed what I could see including the green trees, the small railing directly outside my window, and even all the landscaping surrounding the area. After this, I began to think deeper and evaluate what I could smell. I realized that as I looked out my window, I could smell nature, greenery, and even the smell you smell on a hot summer day. Lastly, as I evaluated my window view even further, I could hear the birds chirping and the wind flowing between the trees. It was interesting to see how much I could evaluate with my senses and how I could evaluate a smell and hear just by looking out my window.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

At the beginning of this project, we marbled many different watercolor papers creating a purposeful design. As we moved further into the project, we cut out the marbled papers to create a pop-out structure that came out of the paper. I used a wide variety of different colors and marble designs to help me visualize the difference in space depending on the marbling. I began with two pages, with a dark blue, black, and gray marble that was harsher than the rest. When looking at these, the space felt more enclosed and gave off a different feeling than what a lighter color may give. Next, I played with the lighter color tones of blue, black, and gray which seemed to open the space more, making it feel lighter and airier. Then, the last one of these colors was an even mix of both and the dark tone happened to be closer to the ceiling of the cutout which created an interesting sense of both an open and closed feeling. Aiming to creating a fearful space.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

Lastly, I looked at my colored casting model. I told the AI-generator to create a dark and mysterious feeling to ensure that it portrayed the emotion fear. It did exactly what I said and took my initial photograph and brought it to life. This was fun to see happen.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - This project taught me how important it is to realize how spaces are affected by the walls and objects that are in it. Making the scenes, keeping in mind human scale, allowed me to truly visualize how a space can feel. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - In this project, I learned how to let the scenes in front of me dictate how my pen would draw my image. Not being able to look at what I was drawing gave me a feeling of freedom to mess up. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - This project taught me to sit and truly visualize and absorb the scenes in front of me. While you may think a few minutes is enough time to grasp the view or object in front of you, there is always more things to take notice of. Taking my time viewing the painting in this project allowed me to see connection that I previously would have never found. It taught me to truly look at the world around me. Project #4 “Space Cube” - In this project, we focused on one emotion to set the tone for how we would craft our space cube. Finding my emotion in from the results of the “Wall, Column, and Space” project pushed me to see how spaces can influence emotion. It taught me how to craft an experience in my cube that made those who viewed it feel my emotion. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The final project showed me how to craft a portfolio for my work and the importance of sharing my work with my peers and those interested in my work. Crafting my portfolio allowed me to be proud of my work and promote me to share with others my acomplishments. Overall - These projects taught me skills that I will use throughout my time in school and in my career. These building blocks that have begun to form will lay a stable foundation for me to grow and flurish. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - While the beginning is rough, everything has a purpose. The things you make now will allow you see things in a new light.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #27

Going into the model, there is a slight blocking of the figure through the column and the walls. Walking through the area, your view is slightly blocked by one of the columns moving forward making you move between the column and the wall to move forward. This category evokes fear as your path feels cramped and forced.

Phase #2: Category #37

After the figure enters the model a set path is made through a curved wall which blocks the figure’s view of what is down the path. The curved walls block my view going forward while guiding me down a set path forward. This scene evokes fear through the unknown path that lies ahead.

122 542


After exiting the path with the curved wall, a wall set at an angle going away from the figure is present. As I walk up to the wall the path feels unsteady and offset as the wall seems to fall away from my path. This scene shows the emotion fear through the angled wall as when you are experiencing fear, everything around you may seem offset and unsteady.

Phase #3: Category #14

Passing the angled wall, a floating wall set above the figures head at an angle. With the floating wall set above me at an angle, I feel forced to angle my head to move forward in order to not hit the wall. This illustrates fear through the feeling of being pressed toward yourself. As you feel fear you may feel the need to make yourself smaller in order to feel safe.

Phase #4: Category #16

123 543


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #16

After the floating wall, a wall angled very close to the human figure blocks their path forward. The wall almost seems to crush the path ahead, not allowing me to move forward. This scene shows fear through the crushing feeling the wall leaning towards you brings.

Phase #6: Category #46

Forced to turn from the crushing wall, a hallway with two columns and a square hole in the ceiling casting light on the floor. The path is dark with the only light coming in the area coming from a small square in the ceiling. The path shows fear through darkness with only a small amount of light coming through. The figure is forced to leave the light and move through the darkness to get to the exit.

124 544


A square hole in the floor with a floating square hovering over the hole is next to the columns leading to the next floor. The floating square over the hole gives the idea of a way to get out of the emotion of fear. While there seems to be an exit, the opening is still small making you feel squished in order to get through.

Phase #7: Category #12

Falling from the square hole, the figure lands on two floating platforms with a ramp connecting the two on the final floor. The floating platforms and the ramp make you feel fear due to there being no support and railings to keep you from falling down. That feeling only enhances the feeling of being unstable that is present throughout the scenes.

Phase #8: Category #49

125 545


Work #1. AI Exploration_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #59

After climbing down from the floating platforms, a wall covered in arching walls merging into each other is ahead of the figure. The scene shows fear through the unstable wall seeming to come towards you. The scene shows fear through the feeling of something reaching out to you from the wall.

Phase #10: Category #45

Next to the arching wall is an open area lighted by a large hole in the ceiling. The open space and large hole in the ceiling give a feeling of being alone. While the area is open, it gives a feeling of being alone with only the sounds of you walking forward to accompany you.

126 546


Going forward an angled wall facing away from the human figure makes a ramp up to the next part of the model. The angled wall forces you to climb up it to escape fear, but you also may not be able to make it up the wall to escape giving a sense of hopelessness.

Phase #11: Category #17

Finally, after climbing up the angled wall, two curved walls are present leading you down a corridor to the exit. One wall curves in a waving form giving a winding feeling to your path. The path feels long and uncertain, but if you follow it to the end, it will lead you out of fear and back to the beginning.

Phase #12: Category #44

127 547


Work #1. AI Exploration_Dancing Lines

My intention for this piece was to add linear lines ro the curved models shape. The lines follow the path of the curves in varying lenghts and angles to allow them to catch your eye individually.

128 548


Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

From my window in my room, I see birds flying across the sky. The wind blows through the tree leaves, making them sway and bounce. I can hear the birds chirping and cars driving past my home. I can smell the fresh outside air blowing through my room from my open window. I noticed after drawing my window that there are more trees in my view than I first thought. While I did notice all the buildings in my view, the trees weave through and block many of the buildings in my view. From my window in my room, I can see all the trees I would have missed before. I can hear the wind blow past my window, rustling through all the leaves. I feel calm and happy as I look out my window view.

129 549


Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

For this pop-up, the green marbling is focused in the center of the piece which draws the eye.

130 550


Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

The 2D colors add dimension to the space that was not there at first. The splotched pattern on the outside of the casting model makes the space feel tighter and constricted compared to the one shade of color on the inside which opens up the space. The 2D colors add to the 3D space by giving it a sense of life. The colors help set each part of the model apart, allowing you to differentiate the interior and exterior of the model.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” -The Wall, Column, and Space project taught about space and how to use space. The deeper I got in the categories, the more extreme they got and the more space had to be used. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - The hand Drawing project tested my abilities a lot. Drawing is not my strong suit, but I loved the challenge. It shows me that I can do things that I thought I couldn’t do. Project #3 “Power of Patience” The Power of Patience project taught me how to be patient. Having to stare at a painting for 3 hours can be boring, but you notice a lot when you slow down, take your time and be patient. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The Space Cube project taught me a lot that I can use forever. I learned so much like making floor plans, elevations, and space. These things are very crucial for my career and will be used a lot and now I know how to do all of those things. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - The First Portfolio project was really fun. It was very chill and was setting me up for the future. Making portfolios in the future will set me up for life and getting a job and it all starts with this first portfolio. Overall - learned these first five weeks more than I learned a whole year in college lol. I learned a lot about myself that I didn’t know such as my work ethic and the depth of my creativity. I didn’t know my work ethic was this strong until now. I have learned so far that the studio is going to push you to do things you have never done before. You have to have discipline and take criticism well and accept feedback from others. I have completed projects that take you more than 5 hours to complete daily (not exaggerating) and even more just to turn in the next day. I have spent 16 hours in the architecture building multiple days a week and even though I was extremely tired, the outcome was worth it. The group of people I’m experiencing all of this with are amazing and talented people. I’m so lucky to have such a supportive team for the next 3 years. I am looking forward to the next 5 weeks of summer studio! If you could talk to you before these 5 weeks, what whould you like to share with you? If I was to talk to myself before these 5 weeks, I would tell myself to take a deep breath. Its going to be stressful, but at the end you will be very proud of yourself and all of your accomplishments. Manage your sleep and make sure you eat because that is very important. Once you get your balance, you will be great!

The Ai made the category photo more interesting. I love how it kept the human figure in the photo as well.

Phase #2: Category #26

I love the nature vibe of the AI photo. The original photo is not that interesting and the Ai generated photo made the original come to life.

126 554


I love how the column is placed in the AI photo. The walls are really cool and the lighting is great.

Phase #3: Category #27

In the AI photo, the outdoor scene is really cool. I love that they made the category be outside because all of the space was made for indoor living.

I was not expecting the AI photo to turn the floor into water. That was very different and I had to use it. It made the space an indoor pool and cabana.

Phase #6: Category #36

I love how the AI photo made the curved wall into windows. I wasn’t expecting that at all. I love the natural light coming in as well. It makes the photo more than what it is.

128 556


The space of wonder is captured in the AI photo just like the category. Plus the shadow is shown really well.

Phase #7: Category #44

I like how the room is dark with blue lights. It gives the modern vibe to space. It also showcase the light that the category shows.

130 558


I love that teh AI photo includes the circle cut-out at the top of the category pic and added lights to it. It makes the space more inclusive and spacious.

Phase #11: Category #45

The category is more like an igloo and the AI photo shows that very well. I love that there is a woman taking up the space to show that there can be life in this type of photo.

Work #1. AI ExploraƟon_Space Cube

Phase #1: Category #

The image shows a circular void with a sphere placed in it. The human gure stands below the shape. I made this the rst category due to the ominous feeling of the scene, and the tone it sets for the rest of the display.

Phase #2: Category #

The image I chose shows two curved walls moving in the same direcƟon. The human gure walks between the two walls. This image has a spooky feeling to it because it is unknown what is on the other side of the curve, and like anybody, I am fearful to nd out. I chose this scene to be next because of the transiƟon it provides. Going from spherical/circular shapes to two at walls can be underwhelming, however the curvature of the two walls leads a spooky transiƟon to the next scene.

120

566


The image I chose shows light peering from behind the wall. human gure’s silhoueƩe is shown. The image that shows the light from behind the wall is ominous to me and feels as if I am in a horror movie.

Phase #3: Category #

I decided to make this scene more open by liŌing the ceiling above it. I did this in order to allow viewers to see this part of the display beƩer. The image I chose shows four columns widely set. A human gure stands in the middle of the four columns. The image makes me feel scared and claustrophobic due to the columns being placed close together.

Phase #4: Category #

121

567


Work #1. AI ExploraƟon_Space Cube

Phase #5: Category #

The image I chose uses wall and columns to modify light in a seƫng. This scene also has a higher ceiling, this is in order to allow more visual. The human gure walks between the walls and columns. Since the light is shown from the front of the human gure, I get an uneasy and dark feeling.

Phase #6: Category #

The image displays a long tunnel. The human gure stands before it. The tunnel (although I can see the end) makes me wonder what is on the other side, while at the same Ɵme giving me a claustrophobic feeling.

122

568


The scene is of a sharp corner with nowhere to turn. The human gure stands at the corner, peering directly into the center. The walls block the peripheral vision of the viewers giving an eerie feeling. This scene makes me feel trapped and scared, and even gives me a sense of loneliness.

Phase #7: Category #

The human gure stands below the wall. This image makes me feel as though the wall will fall down and crush me. I feel weary to stand below it.

Phase #8: Category #

123

569


Work #1. AI ExploraƟon_Space Cube

Phase #9: Category #

The image I chose shows a oaƟng wall, angled down. The human gure stands closely below the wall. I feel fear when looking at these images due to the angle of the wall, it appears as if the human gure is in danger.

Phase #10: Category #

A square void is placed above the scene, and a human gure stands below peering up. This scene is very frightening to me due to the simplicity and eeriness of the environment.

124

570


A tall wall (also a ladder) moves up into the void. A human gure stands below, gazing at the wall. This display almost gives me Megalophobia due to the innite height of the wall.

Phase #11: Category #

The image I chose shows a side view of a verƟcal wall intersecƟng a void on the downside. The human gure stands next to the wall peering down into the void. These images have an eerie tone to them, I feel as though someone could be pushed down one of these voids, not knowing the end to an innite boƩom. I chose this as the last category because it symbolizes being in heaven. Life is full of frightening challenges that we must endure unƟl the end.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” - I learned about sequences and how they are an important part of design. Walls, colums, and space is what makes up the foundation of a room. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” - Blind countour and the outdoor scketches taught me that my drawings do not need to be perfect all of the time. The floorplans were difficult at first but I learned a lot about line weights and how to apply them to my drawings. The shaving cream project was fun and different from the other things that we had been working on. I learned how to draw a two-point perspective and got to draw my window view. Project #3 “Power of Patience” - Throught going to the Crystal Bridges art museam and looking at a painting for three hours taught me that the longer I look at a painting the more things I notice and understand about it. I learned how to point out lots of design principles and art elements. Project #4 “Space Cube” - The space cube taught me that it is better to repeat a process in order to make it better each time. The first one is not always going to turn out how you want and it takes time to improve it. Project #5 “First Portfolio” - Taking my portrait showed me all of my work in one place. It also made me realize how much I have improved. This is my first portfolio and it has helped me learn how to make more in the future. Overall - I definitely think I have improved from the beginning of this semester. I have become more confident with my work and have learned how to manage lots of assingments at once. If you could talk to you before these five weeks, what would you like to share with you? - I Would tell myself to slow down and not rush my work. Even though it seems like there is not enough time, rushing through causes you to make mistakes.

For this photo I chose no style. When it generated it was turned sidewas but still kept the same layout. Instead of an entrance it looks as if the person is standing on a balcolny or poarch.

Both the AI generated photo and the original photo are kind of boring. The AI used my description of park and empty to create this photo.


I chose to pick the movie scene style and my photo turned into superheros and a wet and rainy night. I also had to turn the photo to match it to my original. The use of lights with the darkness creates an emphasis on the slanted wall.

This was one of my favorites from the AI generated space cube photos. It did a good job turning the paper into a structue. This photo is turned out to look like a real space.

This photo turned out very interesting. It goes along with my marbling color scheme with the use of blue in the stucture.

This one did not turn out exactly how I would have liked. It does not have much resemblence with the original photo. The use of darkness represents the emotion sadness well.


This photo was probably the most accurate resemblence to the original photo. The figures are still shown and looks the same except for the dark interior and light shining through.

This photo looked nothing like the original. It did not keep the same format and I was interested in why the AI chose to create this photo.

Phase #9: Category #

This one needed to be turned sideways after generating to look like the original. The AI added a person and created a with neutral colors and light shining in from the sun.

For this one I chose a movie scene style and it turned into somewhere in space. It kept the same shapes and a person in the same spot in the photo. The use of blues reflects the emotion of the space.

I was confused with the result of this photo. It turned it to the side and changed the lighting dramatically.

What I learned...

Project #1 “Wall, Column, and Space” This was a great introduction on how to use different elements inside a space, and really thinking about how they affect a subject’s emotions or reactions to the space. Something as simple as how a wall is placed or where the lighting comes from can make a massive difference and completely change the mood of a space. Project #2 “Hand Drawing” I loved this set of exercises; many of them got me away from my typical perfectionist approach to drawing, and it was a great challenge. Especially with the charcoal sketches at the Illinois River Watershed. I’ve never worked with charcoal before, as well as not really touching abstract drawing all the much in my own time. Project #3 “Power of Patience” Power of Patience forced me to really slow down my thinking process and be, well, patient. I’d never really looked at a singular painting as closely as I did The Poetry of Joseph E Big Bear, but it was really eye opening. I also got to go more in depth with the different principles of art and design than I had previously. Project #4 “Space Cube” Never before have I worked with foam board in this way, but I feel very accomplished now and I know a lot of extended foam board model techniques. I loved being able to work with my hands intensely during this project period, and it taught me a lot about the importance of iteration through the design process. I also got to see how the same basic idea I had morphed through the different phases of the project. Project #5 “First Portfolio” When it came time to start thinking about putting together this portfolio, I couldn’t believe it’d already been 5 weeks since I started my journey through design school. We finished up the class with a small AI workshop which I found very fun, and got to thinking about how I might use it in future projects to better envision a space I’m trying to create. Putting the last images and finishing touches into this portfolio was an amazing feeling, and I’m thrilled to be able to share my work here. Overall This first studio was a great one. I learned not just about design principles, the design process, how to interact with the environment around me, and how to express how spaces feel and what elements cause that feeling; I learned how to look within and draw inspiration, ideas, and thoughts from myself that greatly impact my work. When out in the world now, I already sense that I’m processing architecture I see differently and more deeply. If you could talk to yourself before these five weeks, what would you like to share with past you? Going into this studio, I wasn’t 100% sure exactly what to expect as far as exact workload or even course material, but I knew there would be a lot of dedication and grit involved. But, I would say that the workload was even a bit more than I originally anticipated. But I would say to myself “Trust the process!” There were times when I felt like I would never be able to get everything done, but everything turned out just fine at the end.

Phase #3: Category 12, 49

Next is another set of stairs, the first half representing anger. Charging up from the steep descent, you burn out quick from the turnaround, literally and figuratively. The tight spiral gives a sense of unknown/uncertainty, as you can’t see around the bend of the stairs.

Phase #4: Category 17, 49

The second half of these stairs represent bargaining. The spiral of the stairs is meant to symbolize circular reasoning; you keep searching for any way around the situation that caused this hurt. The same feeling of the unknown continues, stopping when you hit the top floor.

Phase #5: Category 44

On the top floor, there are two very tall, curved wall sections creating a hallway. This section represents depression. The push and pull of the walls are meant to show the ebb and flow of depression; some days are harder than others. The walls squeeze in very tightly at the end like when you feel like you might have to stop, just before you emerge on the other side.

Phase 6: Category 58

The small staircase down to the platform is the first part of the acceptance stage. The small, open stairs are an easy descent onto the platform where a circular cutout frames a sphere installation, representing what’s lost and found through grieving. The gap in the floor offers an unorthodox place to sit and observe, and the whole floor has a very open and light feeling.

Phase #7: Category 48

Moving down the set of stairs at the back of the platform, we have a continuation of the acceptance stage. The pillars are placed with alternating facings to create a dramatic effect with the shadows as light moves through the room. This is representative of how the same grief you carry can look different at different times; some days you feel sad again, while others you’re just happy that you got to experience whatever you lost. It’s a very beautiful, elegant space. 120 594


Phase #8: Category 48

The last section is tucked away under the spiral stairs, depicting a sort of afterlife environment, where your memories of what was grieved are held tight, safe from prying eyes. The space is very intimate and has a very secure feel to it as it’s under all the floors and staircase; a quiet place to finally lay to rest.

Work #1. AI Exploration_My Window View

Looking out my window along the front of my house, I first see a small section of the front porch, including some of the ceiling and iron railing, four main trees at varying distances from the porch, the driveway, and the road. There’s a tree line that extends all the way across the view just past the road.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Shaving Cream Marbling

After folding the paper into the kirigami model and looking at the space in terms of the figure’s perspective, the colors feel much bolder. It feels like you’ve stepped into a night sky, or a dark, roaring river painted by Van Gogh. The walls flow together and feel very cohesive, but it does still feel overwhelming and, well, blue.

Work #1. AI Exploration_Colored Casting Model

For the colored model, I really like how the marbling turned out on the floor and wall. It feels like part of a grand building, where marble stretches from floor to ceiling. I also love how the red on the inside of the pillars really pops. Though, I’m not crazy about how the blue looks; I wish I’d done marble on the pillars with the red just on the inside. The color palette feels very intense and cold.
