MONTAGE-IT Photomontages

This was my first photomontage, whereby I used layers

to overlay aspects of the tracing. I also added people

and filtered the photo to increse the contrast and vibrance.

This was the photo used for my second photomontage.

This was the photo of the model ready to be

cropped and placed in the site photo.

This is the tracing used to add texture to certain aspects of the montage.

This is the final photomontage - including photo filtering to add

warmth to the image and overlaying the tracing and the photo of the

model. I believe this is a convincing photo that shows a connection

between the model and the site - whilst also displaying the way

people interact with the sculpture.

DRAW-IT Line Drawings and Final Renderings

These are my line drawings of the elevations of the BANGALAY house

I found the intricate detail in the sloped roof vert interesting and the

floor plan revealed a very open kitchen/dining area which utalised

natural light effectively.



Thses section drawings reveal the structural supports and

the way people interact within the space.

These images are my completed set of rendered line drawings

for the Bangalay house, whereby I used the technique of smudging

 with graphite of different grades to show the effect light has on

the space and enhance our overall interpretation from the original drawings.

This method was effective in enhancing certain aspects of the structure,

such as the strutual supports which were darkened. also the effect light had on the

space could be represented effectively, more-so in the sectional perspectives.

These two images show the progession from an un-rendered

sectional axonometric perspective to a fully rendered perspective

of the kitchen dining area. I used the same technique to render

the image as seen previously but chose to highlight certain

features of the space to enhance the aesthetics of the image

 - such as darkening the faces of the structual supports not facing

the light. I think the rendering is very effective in displaying the

effect light has on the space and enhancing our understanding

from the original line drawing.

DRAW-IT Rendering Samples

These images show my first attempts at different rendering techniques,

whereby we drew and then photo-copied one point poerspectives of a section

of our house models. We then proceeded to render them in different ways and

experiment with light and the medium used to render, whereby i feel shading

and smudging usig graphite was the most effective method for me...

Final Model - FISHER HOUSE (1:50)

My process Model - from in-class exercise, which

shows fine detail of one corner of the building.

3 images document the process of putting the model

together after each day of construction.

The staircase was a very time-consuming aspect of

the model, whereby you had to glue each piece or

step individually and ensure that all lengths were

cut extremely accurately to avoid deformities.

A plan view of all the components of the model

A birds-eye view of the components separated

A view portraying how the different components of

the model fit together and form one solid representation

Two images showing finer details of the model

and how light interacts with the facade of the building

These two images show the effect of lighting in

one room, coming from different directions, and

how it changes our focus in the room.

This was a great experience that challenged my

mental resolve and taught me many things

throughout the process of construction.

Week 2 Task - FISHER HOUSE Site Plan

 

The material used for the contours was box-board

The frame was made from bulsa and the river

was made of aluminium foil overlapped with

a thin (transparent) blue plastic sheet.

I found this model very time consuming, whereby

it was difficult to construct the fisher house to fit

in the site model perfectly. More planning was

needed, however my solution of trees being conveyed

through arrangements of thinly sliced boxboard adds

an interesting effect to the model - separating it from

reality whilst creating a synergy with the materials used.



Week 1 Task - BARCELONA PAVILION

I Chose the section the model to challenge myself

whilst trying to maintain the integrity of the model

and enabling all aspects of the building to be studied.

It does however affect our interpretation of how flat

and linear the building is - an ineffective representation.

Model - IT Process Models

1st Process Model - Simply the template used as

a base with slanted roofing, changing the perspective

of whether it is a courtyard or a house...

3rd Process Model - Different views

portray different characeristics and

show the effect light has on the space.

Angled / Slanted roofing became a theme

resonating throughout the models,

which progressed to create an interesting

effect on the final model,

where the interprtation of space is

changed from each view of the model.
