PRECEDENT STUDYHAND DRAWN

PRECEDENT STUDYDIGITAL

Using the Douglas House by Richard Meier as a precedent, orthographic projections were sketched. This exercise allowed for the house to be understood in terms of proportions, scale, and indiividual components.

Working off of the precedent house as well as knowledge gained from sketching, scale digital drawings were created.

SITE ANALYSISUnderstanding a site in its entirety at varying scales is integral to design. The purpose of this assignment was to analyze Upper Scarboro at micro and macro scale as well as in section. This site was used for all studio designs for the semester.

IMMATERIAL MAPPINGUsing the same site as assignment 2 an immaterial mapping was performed. Immaterial aspects of a site are essential to gaining an understanding of how a space functions. Wind and sound were analyzed and interpreted in order to make a 3d model of the immaterial flows.

TRANSFORMATIONUsing a piece of the precedent analysis house a series of manipulations were made using Rhino. The manipulations related to the underlying ordering systems and geometric principles of the object. A rendering of the final transformation was created using V-Ray for Rhino and Photoshop.

The bridge entry was chosen as it creates the datum that is repeated in each level of the house.

The transformations are informed by the symmetrical nature of the chunk itself as well as the cyclical architectural promenade of the precedent.

The final form draws from the precedent’s notion of pure form and becomes a modular building.

TRANSFORMATION MODELUsing a transformation from the previous assignment a hand crafted model was made. Transformation number 3 was made by simplifying the design and incorporating finger joints.

MEASURED DRAWINGSWorking in groups of 3, room 2160 was measured and then drawn to scale. Plan, ceiling plan, and sections were drawn, annotated, and compiled into a single layout.

SURFACE ARTICULATIONUsing the measured drawings from the previous assignment a surface articulation was created. The surface was created by rotating and arraying a single wooden board in order to make a texture that appears transparent and solid simultaneously. It creates a surface which seems structural yet is purely ornamental. The openings get larger closer to the entrance which serves as a threshold to create a more concious entry condition.

MEASURED ARTICULATION DRAWINGSWorking in groups of 3 a surface articulation was drawn to scale and placed within room 2160. The purpose of this assingment was to trade drawings with another group and build their articulation to scale. Therefore, detailed infortmation about the articulation and where it was placed in the room was neccessary

SKETCHBOOKSketching is an essential part of design as it enables quick iteration and concept development without undue focus on details. Below is a compilation of iteration sketches from the studio intervention and house design, respectively.
