121-221 REPRESENTATIONAL WORK

Throughout my years so far studying Architecture and Graphic Design, I have been actively developing my representational skills both in class and in presentation. Below are some of my class specific representation projects.

INITIAL EXPERIMENTATION W/ REPRESENTATION & LINEWORK

This class aimed to push students to begin understanding the importance of graphic assemblage through the development of orthographic and perspectival projection diagrams. Using Rhino to create a series of Make2D projection linework series, we then experimented with the possibilities of graphic representation in Adobe Suite to develop legible and well designed drawings of our assigned machinery system.

Genetic drift

The Representation project, Genetic Drift, introduced us to the program, Grasshopper. Given, four adjectives, we used a Punnett Square to produce four variations of pairings of the adjectives. Utilizing both Grasshopper and Vray, I produced genetic variations of form, quality and color. The result is a “family” of four genetic cousins, one of which is inserted into a real life scenario (shown above).

site lines

The Representation project, Site Lines, encouraged me to practice my rendering skills as well as my representational skills, while introducing me to the program, Vray. The goal of the project was to understand how to represent larger scale concerns, while considering techniques for grounding and staging through the use of different scales and vantages to broaden the reading of the work. 

Using the territory, Venice, I started at a larger scale with my line map, and worked my way down into the city as I created my drone and experiential views. I experimented with color, opacity, and depth to achieve the views I felt happy with in order to create views that read effectively.
