Assignment One
Three Spaces Along a Path
Design three rooms of specific orientation with a describable sequence to a specific observation pad with the given kit of elements.The orientation of the spaces must be:
The kit of elements (all dimensions inches, scale 1:1):
- VERTICAL
- HORIZONTAL
- CONTAINED/INTROVERTED
- Two planer surfaces (11x17) which are to be oriented parallel to the earth's surface. The upper surface has a square hole cut into it that is 4 inches by 4 inches.
- One observation platform (1x3x0.25)
- Two planes (11x2.25x0.25)
- Four planes (5.5x5.5x0.25)
- One plane (9x5.5x0.25)
- Three columns approximately 0.75 in diameter
- One solid volume (9x3x3)
- One solid volume (5.5x3x3)
- Stairs or Ramps of your choice or design
A virtual volume is to be defined by the two 11 x 17 inch parallel planes which are to be supported 11 inches from each other. NOTHING my protrude beyond this volume. The base must be divided into quadrants (not necessarily of equal dimension). One quadrant must contain the entrance and each of the remaining three quadrants is to contain one of the spaces noted above. The sequence through the spaces should engage each of the quadrants. The observation platform is to be located along the sequence, and contained within the virtual volume.
Each of these will be presented in our first review on Friday. This is the first of many models that will be constructed this quarter. I expect that the crafting of the model should not detract from its spatial descriptive qualities. But, the sequence of the spaces is the critical issue.
Assignment Two
A Path Along Three Spaces
Design a path that engages three spaces of specific orientation with a distinct sequence to a specific observation pad.
The spaces must be (dimensions inches):
- VERTICAL (11 tall x 5.5 x 5.5)
- HORIZONTAL (11 long x 5.5 x 5.5)
- CONTAINED/INTROVERTED (5.5 cube)
These rooms are to be contained between two planer surfaces (11x17) which are to be oriented parallel to the earth's surface. The upper surface is to be considered a lid to the virtual volume - and the model should be built so that it can be removed. NOTHING my protrude beyond this volume.
Each of these will be presented in our second review on Wednesday. I expect that the crafting of the model should not detract from its spatial descriptive qualities. The engagement of the is the critical issue.
