Exercise-I:  Space Making by the Articulation of Vertical Members.

Theme: “WHEN THE ELEMENTS OF FORM CAPTURES SPACE ARCHITECTURE IS BORN”

Design Brief:

1.       12 vertical members to be articulated to create a meaningful Form & Spatial arrangement

2.       Vertical members’ sections to vary from 250mmx250mm to 250mmx1000mm

3.       Vertical members’ heights to vary from 2000mm to 10000mm

4.       Assume context (Primary school or Restaurant)

5.       Declare the ambience/spatial experience/design intentions to be created by using the vertical members.

6.       Create a platform/datum of single or multi-level

7.       Incorporate elements of visual arts – Line, colour, texture, light & shade

8.       Apply the grammar of visual arts in the analysis and synthesis of architectural space and form:

a.       Principles of Design - Scale, Balance, Rhythm, Emphasis, Proportion, Movement, Contrast, Unity, Meaning, Metaphor etc.

b.      Ordering Principles - Axis, Symmetry, Hierarchy, Datum, Repetition and Transformation etc.

Deliverables:

1.       Final sheetA1 size (1 No) will contain the following:

a.       Plan and views (Sketches and Photographs of model with light & shade)

b.      Narrative of design decision making process which includes assumptions, analysis and synthesis – with thumbnail sketches and minimum write-up.

2.       Small 3D Model(To be restricted to 15”x15” base)

Submission Dates:

Presentation of Final Butter Sheet+ Scale Model                                               08.03.13

Note: All sketches leading to the design development/evolution need to be attached to the sheet.
