Living Object vd21

Advanced Representation Techniques (Vertiefung Darstellungstechniken)

SS 2020

In the second semester students strongly develop their Architectural Representation skills addressing the intersections of form, style, structure, and communication through a ‘DigiLog’ approach.

Task 1

The students focus on an object of their choice with both simple and curved surfaces. Observing and understanding it´s shape and geometry the students are tasked to 3D-model the objects using Rhinoceros 3D. Based on the digital model the students additionally build a physical paper model, further exploring the object´s underlying structure.

Task 2 & 3

The second tasks aims to transform the 3D-modelled object from task 1 into an imaginative architecture, altering the object´s interior into living space.

As the last step the students are tasked to create a poster. The emphasis is on visualising the interior of the structure and it´s surroundings, using different digital tools (Affinity Photo, Photoshop, etc.) as well as analogue tools, such as hand-drawn sketches.
