Project 1

Geometry and Form - Individual ( 10% )

Part 1

We were required to choose one (1) Ordering Principle we wish to work with from the following list:
• Axis
• Symmetry
• Hierarchy
• Datum
• Rhythm
• Repetition

Part 2

We will explore our chosen ordering principle in form and volume (models) via the following Primary Elements (a model for each element with the same ordering principle):
• Point
• Line
• Plane

Part 3

We will represent our chosen ordering principle in a combination of two (2) or three (3) of the primary elements in Part 2 in one (1) more subsequent model.

Part 4

We will draw, render and shade four (4) tattoo stamps of our model from Part 3. The tattoo stamps drawn in scale 1:1 shall be derived and based from the following:
• horizontal section (plan)
• vertical section (section)
• side view (elevation-pick our most interesting side that demonstrates your selected Primary Element and Ordering Principle)
• top view

Reflection

TGC 1.2 : Understand ethical issues in the context of the field of study

I have gained a deep understanding of ethical considerations in architecture, and this awareness seamlessly integrates into my ability to identify key design elements and principles for creating architectural compositions that highlight space-making.

TGC 3.1 : Think critically and creatively

I am able to think critically and creatively in the process of exploring various sources and abstracting ideas to generate design concepts. It involves analyzing information, making connections, and approaching design challenges with innovative and thoughtful solutions.

TGC 3.2 : Define and analyze problems to arrive at effective solutions

In honing my manual drawing and model-making skills, I've realized their inherent connection to problem-solving. Every stroke and cut serves as a deliberate solution to design challenges, making the process not just artistic but a dynamic means of defining and analyzing problems to arrive at effective solutions.
