For the first task in ITSD, we were introduced to the primary design elements of forms in spatial design, from lines to a 2D plane and then finally 3D volume.
Firstly, I had to make 3 hand drawn 2D patterns on a grid A4 paper by constructing points and lines together. Afterwards I had to choose one of the best patterns and develop the 2D pattern into planes, voids and 3D forms to create space and volume using craft boards to make the final model.
​
​
In our first task in our 2nd project, I had to manipulate a cube form through ‘addition’ & ‘subtraction’ and by applying design principles and elements. I chose ‘Emphasis’ as my design principle. We had to choose one shape for our individual model to manipulate the cube. I chose circles. Firstly, I sketched out ideas for my model, and did mockups before the final one. In my final cube model I applied both subtraction and addition method to achieve ‘Emphasis’.
​
After making our individual cubes, in our groups (me as the leader for my group), we then had to create one big hybrid model of two cubes intersecting, combining elements and techniques from all our group mates’ individual cubes.
We had to achieve 'UNITY AND HARMONY' in this final hybrid model to make it look as ‘one’ and cohesive. We also used
addition and subtraction method to create this final model.
For our final INDIVIDUAL project this module, I had to make an explorer’s cliff sanctuary model, consisting of 3 types of space
which will hang/cling onto the pedestal provided.
Firstly, we had to choose any one ‘explorer’ client for our sanctuary and do a research about their personality, characteristics, and behaviours and habits. By following these criteria we had to build a sanctuary reflecting their personality, and make 3 different zones/space in the sanctuary.
​
I chose Rick O’Connel from ‘The Mummy’ movie as my client We needed to implement the use of ergonomics, proportion, scale and anthropometrics to allow the movement of our client throughout the whole sanctuary. We needed to also plan wisely on the transition between the 3 spaces, whether it’s interlocking, splitting, morphing, merging, stacking and more. This whole design is purely about exploring ‘poetic’ spaces, meaning that we cannot include literal objects like windows, tables, and chairs.
