Visual Communication in the Built Environment

Assignment - Visual Communication

Drawing Set

This Assignment will involve a new set of A3 drawings that develop your models to visual propositions that are sited, developed, and communicated as presentation drawings rendered in a style of your choosing.

You have the opportunity to re-conceive your model designs as one of three scales/situations:

As a sculptural artwork located in a gallery interior

How big is the work in relation to a room or body? How is it displayed? On a plinth? Suspended from a ceiling? Mounted to a wall?

Is there a relationship between the object and a natural light source, like a skylight or a window? Is there artificial lighting? A place to sit from which to regard it? Is there an aperture in the room that shows something of the room's setting beyond?

This option will entail the development of your sculpture design into consideration of the design and communication of a larger space around it.

As a piece of sculpture/land art in a landscape environment

How big is the work in relation to a topography or body? Where is it sited? Is it on flat land or sloping? How is it sited in relation to topographic or hydrographic features?

How is it approached? How is it fixed to the ground? Is it mounted? Raised? Embedded? Excavated?

This option entails thinking about developing your form in relation to its setting, and considering how and where it stands.

As an architectural construction in an urban environment

Where - in what city - is the structure located? Is it in an open space, an infill project? Adjacent to another building or urban space?
How does it relate to the neighbouring structures? Is it tensile? Solid? How can it be occupied?

This option involves thinking about the components of your structure and gearing them toward specific purposes and settings, and considering how interior volumes might be formed within it.

Once you have made your selection, you are expected to develop your structure in two ways:

In response to your chosen environment and scale: how do your forms evolve/specialise in a reactionary or responsive way to their location: how to they become site/place specific?
In response to your chosen drawing Guide (see below). What is their design language? Can your object actually develop formally in response to your precedent?

Do they react in respect? In challenge or retaliation? Are they subtle and poetic? Bold? Looming? Your models are affected by gravity, ground, aspect, prospect, bodies and inhabitation. They will develop material qualities as they cease to be abstract.

Positive or negative?
Your scheme could be thought of as a positive form, it could be negative/subtractive, or a hybrid of both....

Guides
You will select a ‘ghost instructor' - a guide - from a list of architectural and artistic experts. You will conduct rendering studies in their language. This could incorporate digital drawing techniques, collage, manual drawing techniques, and a raft of media. You must study your Guide closely and emulate their work. Only then can you apply it to your own.

Drawing selection
There are TWO set drawings for this assignment. You should choose between ONE 2D drawing and ONE 3D drawings from this list to best communicate your scheme. Carefully consider the message and mood you want to convey with your drawings and which are the right fit for communicating your scheme.

You could propose another drawing type too...

Media and format

They can be digital drawings, manual drawings, or mixed media.

MODEL GIF
The model is key in the assessment. It should be animated. The document submitted in Canvas would be a GIF with movement: different views of the model and/or light and shadows and/or hand interactions and/or movement of elements, etc...

You will submit 2 A3 pages with the 2D and 3D Drawings and one file with the model improvements and interactions in a GIF format.

Note: You need to choose any landscape location in this world ( random location) and show how this model is get into the surrounding .... and to show that You need to make 2 drawings one is 2D(plan) AND one 3D (perspective) with same directions while following the style from guides pdf.

Drawings can be manual or Digital never mind, showing some rendering effects. You can use Photoshop also for this project.
