MY AD1 JOURNEY

Project 1 : Geometry and Form: Architectural Design Elements & Principles

Task 1 : Ordering Principle

For the first task, I was assigned to choose one ordering principle I wish to work with. My initial chosen ordering principle was hierarchy, but was later then changed to rhythm as my models suited it better.

Task 2 : Exploration and Combination

After selecting my ordering principles, I explored my chosen ordering principle in form and volume by making models. I made models for each of the design elements : point, line and plane.

After making the design elements models, I had to represent my chosen ordering principle in a combination of two or three of the primary elements in one more subsequent model.

Task 3: Tattoo Stamps

For this task, I had to draw, render and shade four tattoo stamps of my final combination model. The tattoo stamps has to be drawn in scale 1:1. The tattoo stamps drawn were of horizontal section (plan), vertical section (section), and elevation views.

My Progress

Since this was the first assignment after stepping into degree, I started exploring and searching for inspirations very quickly. I mostly used Pinterest as my main source of acquiring information and pictures for my inspiration. I made various mock-up models for this project, and I am grateful that my tutor guided me to the right direction. I actually found it interesting and amusing while learning and researching about different principles and elements while completing my work. I also enjoyed the process of making the models by experimenting with different materials.
