BEST SECTION PHOTO

These two photographs enhance the built model/drawing sections. In Leo's shot, good lighting adds that extra depth to the drawing/model and makes the image come alive. Extra care was taken to line up the shot as directly in-front of the section cut as possible. The darkness of the model and lightness of the paper work well together. Greg H's image has an unusual angle that adds interest to the shot. The viewer needs to study the image to gain an understanding of what is happening. The depth of field is well executed and deepens the shot by having some elements out of focus and other elements crisp and clear. The smudges on the plexi (which don't look good in the physical model) give the photo a texture and point of focus aided by the lighting. Both of these images would look good in a portfolio and demonstrate more than a simple picture taken to prove that the work was completed.

Pool Rendering

Renders for Tuesday

For the next assignment I need you to keep your focus on the design of your water containers. You need to model, in detail, a sample of your pool system. Most of you I have specified exactly what you need to zone in on, but for those still unsure you need to make a section model that demonstrates the unique character of your water container.

Levels of information include:


• water drainage and distribution systems


• structure systems


• material call outs


• measurement call outs

and any other additional information that you can think to include in either the modeling, illustrator or photoshop phase of this assignment. Once your model is completed you must take multiple renders [specifically a hidden line and a wireframe] and compile them together in illustrator. This is a step all should be familiar with. After the drawing is compiled you will use the skills you learned in class to add entourage to your drawings. This extra entourage should demonstrate water level, human scale and human interaction with your water contatiner. How this is displayed is individual to the project, so be creative.

DUE: on Tuesday at the beginning of class you will be required to have a final entourage render on your blog. This drawing should be a minimum of 900 pixels [largest dim] at 72 DPI and RGB

Ass 2-3 Successes

Clockwise from top left: Hoffman, Marshall, Strickland, Donovan, Spurgin, Redington

I am happy with the results of this project. Huge props to the students that stretched the capabilities of this assignment to their max. Hopefully this has taught you invaluable knowledge on how to successfully use the laser cutter and digital modeling programs as a tool for fabricating structure systems.

For the Kayak people

Check this page out Its the Community rowing boathouse for training and storing rowing boats. If not already, perhaps the Kayak people can get together for something like this.

Ass 3-1

Assignment link

some house keeping; many of you have not submitted the .fmz file for the last assignment. Once again this is due immediately, and should be submitted into your folder on the server.

Also on your personal blogs every student must post as least one image of their final analog model from assignment 3-1. This will be due by the beginning of class on thursday, oct 9th.
