Exercize 1 : Form and Making

For the very first assignment we were assigned to make three different cubes using three different elements (linear,plainer, and volumetric).

4

The final model of this project was to be elaboration of one of the three preliminary models

5

Exercize 2 : Elements and Operations of Form For exercise two, we were intructed to chose an operation and depicted it through one of the three elements. My operation was the operation of interlock which is two or more forms fittng together 2.1 These are the preliminary models for linear elements

6

2.2 These are the preliminary models for the plainer operation

7

2.3 These are the preliminary models for the volumetric element

8

2.4 The final model of this exercise is exemplify our knowledge of the preliminary exercises.

We were intructed to ulitlize two elements and depicted our operation

2.4 These are the drawings for the exersice top: a sequence of elevations of the final model bottom : sections and plans of the final model

Exercize 3 : Movement and Context 3.1 For this exercise, we were instructed to analyise a building on Syracuse’s campus. We focuesd on the experice a person has as they move through teh building. My groups building was Hendricks Chapel located on the quad of Syracuse University.

These are preliminary sketches to help me under stand the building better.

11

These are the perspective drawings of the sequence of spaces and how an observer experience the building.

Exercize 3.2 : The Application of Scale and Movement to Abstract Form For this exercise, we were isntructed to transform the model produced in 2.4 into an architectural model to a 3/8�=1’-0 scale. It includes multiple spaces and sequence of spaces

14

Exercize 3.3 : Reacting to and Acting on Context For this exercise, the entire studio that was under Prof. McIntosh’s intruction came together to create city. Using an elaborated and finalized model from the previous exercise, we had to form a site that with our models that considerate of its surroundings. This is my final model.

Exercize 4 : Case Study Analysis

For this exercise, we graphically analyised an architectural precedent.

I was assigned the Dirty House by David Adjaye.

Key aspects of this project were to analyise the formal elements, operations, scale, movement, and context.

Exercize 5 : A Public/Private House For this exercise, we were instructed to design a new dwelling and studio for an assigned artist. This included the key spaces of work, living, and exhibition space. My artist was Bret Slater who is a modernist painter that uses small to meduim size canvas’s.

These are preliminary models
