DESIGN ELEMENTS
Grids There are two basic composition techniques in photography and graphic design: the rule of thirds and symmetry.

structural Glulam column
The manufacturing facilities are composed of Glulam column and beam. The beam and column are connected with steel connections. The 98’ long span beam is connected with steel connections. Steel tension wire truss is used to reduce the depth of the beam to provide more space for manufacturing.
CLT roof structure
The 23-story timber high-rise tower is consisted of four CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) structural cores and 12 glulam columns for vertical structure, and CLT floor panels for horizontal structure.
structural CLT cores MANUFACTURING: Glulam column and beam
The mixed-use block is a proposal for an active way of connecting manufacturing to arts, technology and further to housing. Timber is one of the best materials to connect different programs into one for actualizing the new identity of Redhook and the best way to build and sustain it.

axonometric diagram
This is included in every beginning photography and graphic design class because it is a quick and easy way to create a good composition. (Both Instagram and VSCO Cam include an option to show this grid in their camera view.)

Divide your layout into thirds and then put your focal point at grid line intersections. Large images will take up multiple points, and if you want to include smaller, less important pieces, they can be placed at remaining points. Be careful to balance the visual weight of the page.

This composition creates hierarchy between the elements. The larger the image, the more important it should be.

There’s usually not much hierarchy displayed in this type of composition and is best for showcasing a single piece at a time.

CENTERED
Best for portrait layouts. However, notice how portrait layouts designed with symmetry can create a Rule of Thirds composition when seen as a spread.
Drawing Alignment There may be instances in which you design to eschew the rigid grid system in order to create a different relationship between your images. For instance, you may have section drawings that seem to unfold from the related edge of a model photograph. Or you may wish to imply other relationships through visual proximity.
Problem 1: CHANgE Located at the entry to Big Stacy Pool, the new changing rooms define the boundary between the city (street) and nature (park). While the proposed interior, defines the space of personal transformation from city dweller to swimmer.
Exercise 2+3: WAtEr (right) 1. Consider the flow of water. How can a surface shed water? Beading? Pooling? Rivulets? Attempt to create a specific character of water as it moves. 2. Consider the collection of water. How can water be held? Vessel? Bladder? Hold the same amount of water in different ways. 3. Combine water flow and collection. How can the initial experiments inspire water harvesting? 44
