WEEK6

This week we had to create our own presentation board using images of our designer that we have chosen. I have chosen milwaukee art museum by Santiago Calatrava below is the board i have created 

 this is just a draft presentation board i will be going over this and making the image behind stand out more then the rest. 

WEEK5

for this weeks task we had to find 3 examples of presentation boards to see the different styles, methods that it is trying to tell us. and what was the affect of the board on my personal view.

this first presentation board really shows the simplicity of a presentation and how it can be so effective with minimal photos and writing i really liked this as for the layout and how it has the small images and the whole over  view of the house gives us and shows us what they are tying to sell.

this second presentation i liked as for the style and color base they used its not over powerful and its a good understanding of what they are showing, its also very interesting how its set up in rows and how each row is showing different images to show the over view of the building.

this third one really caught my eye as for its only black and white and still very powerful to read and understand, i really like the 3D views of the building and and sections and how they are very powerful on the board and looking at this you can see what the building will look like once it is finished and that is what else i like about the image.

WEEK4

this week task was to gather martial of a building from our designer, the martial include elevations plans sections and anything else that we could find from the building. the building i have chosen is the milwaukee art museum santiago calatrava. below are the images i have found of the building.

WEEK3

This week we had to establish an overall scale of the building and to scale the various of spaces.

first i established each and every room in different boxers and i set them to a space where rooms that will be used more then others are set out in different colors.

blue:

Master bedroom + ensuite: 5x5 = 25 m2

bedroom 1: 4x4 = 16 m2

bedroom 2: 3x3 = 9 m2

bedroom 3: 3x3 = 9 m2

study/guest room: 3x3 = 9 m2

total = 68 m2

Yellow:

living: 5.5x6 = 33 m2

kitchen: 4x4 =  16 m2

dinning: 3x3 = 9 m2

total = 58 m2

Red:

double garage: 6x6 = 36 m2

kids bathroom: 3x3 = 9 m2

guest bathroom: 3x3 = 9 m2

laundry: 2x2 = 4 m2

total = 58 m2

 once i have established my spaces i set them out and looked at them as a single space and how they will work once they are put together. below are the spaces as a single space 

 i then tried to put the spaces together as a whole but i left them in the same area below are the spaces moved around to work as one.

after i had the spaces in mind i started to use the primitives my first one was using a pyramid, box and cylinder.

below is the image.

My second primitive was using two different boxers and a cylinder

this wasn't as pleasing but was different.

below is the image  

WEEK 2

Today tast was to fold paper into a model of out designer or artist I have chosen santiago calatrava below are the 3 models of each building with my architect. Our first two models we only had to use one paper to design our model this was very hard as we had to think of ways to make it. Then our third model we could use as many pieces of paper as we can to creat our model this was an easy way but the out come wasn't as good

Our first week for Arch 1390 was for us to develop 3D sketches with just minimal information about the building. Our tutor had giving each group different information about the building, one group had section and elevation drawings, one had photos and about 2 pages explaining the building and my groupe had the floor plans. this was a bit of a challenge as it mad me really read a floor plan and understand how it all comes together it also showed me that it is better to have a 3D visual image or sketch of a building as you will have a much better understanding of how it will look and built. Now i can understand that you need more then just floor plans to create a 3D sketch of a building as some information was not shown on our floor plan. below is the 3D sketch of the building
