Phase 9 : Observation from Faculty Building

        In this assignment, we were required to walk around the faculty building ,and exploring at least three related volumes. Then, we needed to express the characteristics of these volumes  and their relationships by using sketches, drawings and photos.

        In this photo, I saw 4 related volumes. Each of 3 volume is opening same volume. All of the volumes are related with one common volume.

         Every volume has its own specific dimensions and shapes. This one (the one in the middle in the first photo) has a rectangular shape ,and it has the smallest volume. With its boundaries, I think it is the most well defined one.

        This is the volume which is the left one in the photo. It has actually seperate volumes in itself. If we look it at outside, it has a more complex shape because of its small volumes.

        In this photo, I saw four related volumes. The one in the front, the one in back of it, the one bottom-most volume and the one which has the biggest area and all of three are opening there. Each volume is related with this common volume. The first and second have same sizes and rectangular shapes. Bottom-most volume is bigger and has its seperate and smaller volumes again. The most well defined ones the first and second one because they have all their own boundaries.

Midterm Jury : Double-sided Relief

        For the jury assignment we were required to make a double-sided relief representing the design concepts that we choose by using quadrilateral prisms, and the model had to cover approximately 1000 cm² from the top or bottom view.
        Firstly, I determined the concepts to represent in my design. I chose repetition and variation. To apply this concepts, I started by specifying 2 groups. For the first group, I used 2 trapezoids and 1 rectangle. For the second group, I used 2 trapezoids, 1 square and 1 parallelogram. Then, by changing some of the dimensions of the groups, I tried to apply variation concepts. For group A, I had 5 versions and for the group B, I had 4 versions. To set up different relationships, I put together groups in different ways like A-A or B-B or A-B or with versions of them. I repeated group A and its versions 9 times and group B and its versions 10 times. Moreover, I tried to create a surface by using height differences ,and I started from one point by using the heightest one and to the end, I reduced the heights of other prisms.
